Jason Alexander regrets participating in a controversial sketch featuring Courtney Stodden.

During Stodden’s high-profile marriage to Doug Hutchison—which began when she was 16 and he was 51—she appeared in a 2012 Funny or Die video sketch featuring her now ex-husband and Alexander. 

A parody of Dr. Phil and similar talk shows, Alexander plays fictional life coach Donny Clay and interviews the couple about their relationship. At one point, he takes his phone camera to Stodden’s breasts and fondles her, noting that there’s no cell signal in her head but “full bars” in her chest.

But after Stodden, who was 17 at the time, recently reflected on how the experience negatively impacted her, the Seinfeld alum is apologizing for his role in the sketch.

“Looking back at the comedy sketch in which Ms. Stodden and I participated in 2012, I completely agree that it was inappropriate and I truly regret it,” he said in a statement to E! News. “But more importantly, I am deeply sorry for any harm or distress it has caused Ms. Stodden. I offer her my sincerest apologies.”
