- Stodden, who was 17 at the time, shared a still from the "Funny or Die" video showing Alexander inappropriately touching her, describing the sketch as an adult joke made at her expense.
- After Alexander apologized for his role in the short film, Stodden urged him to make a meaningful contribution, which he did, prompting her public thanks for his accountability and actions.
- Stodden emphasized that accountability involves taking steps to create change rather than seeking public punishment and encouraged others to follow Alexander's example.
