The 30-year-old reality TV diva wore a brown, orange, red, yellow and blue striped two piece that made the most of her slender waistline.
The star – who weighs 109lbs these days – has lost a lot of weight after after she quit drinking alcohol a month ago.
The pinup – who resembles Marilyn Monroe – also shared a note this week about her traumatic past as a teen bride.
‘Everything I thought would ruin me ended up making me stronger,’ began the wife of movie producer Jared Safier.
‘Trauma became my greatest teacher, and my “why” pushes me past bitterness into peace. I forgive not for anyone else, but for myself because pain can be a superpower if you let it. What’s the most powerful thing your pain taught you?’
Earlier this month the actress told the Daily Mail that her ‘body, mind, spirit’ are better off without the booze as she feels more like herself.
‘I am healing from past trauma,’ added the blonde beauty who is married to movie producer Jared Safier. ‘It’s my sober journey for my overall health. I used alcohol to deal with pain, but all it did was make things more difficult.’
Stodden also said she feels ‘calm’ after leaving the champagne – her choice was Veuve Clicquot – behind to have more ‘clarity’ over her life.
The 30-year-old reality TV star also showed off her weight loss while in ruby red lingerie which she compared to her more fuller figure in a blue swimsuit weeks ago.
In one image she was seen barefoot on her scale which showed she is 109lbs.
This comes after she talked about how her much-older first husband Doug Hutchison – a 65-year-old actor whom she calls her former ‘groomer’ – got her started on drinking alcohol when she was very young.
The Washington native said he would drink ‘bottle and bottles of alcohol’ a day and pushed her to drink too so he could ‘control’ her.
But these days Stodden does not want to feel ‘out of control,’ so she is staying away from the booze even if the journey is challenging.
The cover girl also noted that many of her friends are not happy that she has decided to be sober as they won’t know what to do with ‘healthy’ Stodden, but she will stick with her plan no matter what and won’t take up drinking again just to please her pals.
‘If people don’t get it, then maybe they shouldn’t be around,’ said Stodden who wore a beige bra with two Van Cleef & Arpels necklaces.
The caption read: ‘The painful truth.’
Earlier this week the former teen bride told the Daily Mail that she is ‘very happy with the decision’ as she works on her ‘sobriety journey and overall health.’
‘Giving up alcohol also helps with my mental health,’ Courtney, who has recently signed on for a new Lifetime biopic, shared. ‘I feel better without it.’
The Calabasas resident then explained that she had reached for drinks when she felt stressed by fame.
‘Alcohol was my escape for years, but it turned into a trap,’ shared Stodden to the Daily Mail.
‘I used it to survive trauma, but it ended up making me feel more lost and ashamed. This breakup isn’t just with a substance—it’s with a version of myself I’m ready to leave behind.
‘At some point, blacking out stopped being cute. I used alcohol to deal with pain, but all it did was make things messier—and make me louder in all the wrong ways. I’m finally cutting ties. Alcohol and I? Total toxic ex energy.’
More Americans are abstaining from alcohol consumption. This trend is particularly noticeable among younger adults, who are increasingly embracing a ‘sober curious’ lifestyle, according to Time magazine.
Stodden broke the news of her newfound sobriety on Instagram on Tuesday as she began, ‘Alcohol, I’m breaking up with you. It’s been a toxic relationship for years.
‘Something I used to cope, to escape, to survive. But it’s hurt me more than it’s ever helped me—publicly and privately,’ wrote the siren.
‘Last night was the last time. I’m done letting it control me. I’m done feeling sick and ashamed. I want to be fully present in my life. I want to face my past, my trauma, and my current reality with clear eyes and real strength. To those who understand this battle—thank you.’
Stodden also shared: ‘Please respect my space as I walk this new path. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary.’
