Courtney Stodden's mother resigns

Courtney Stodden's mother has resigned as her manager.

Krista Keller claims she and the 20-year-old reality TV star, who caused a media storm in the last few weeks with the release of her solo sex tape via Vivid Entertainment, have parted ways "due to serious creative differences."

In a statement to UsMagazine.com, Krista said: "On May 22 I resigned as Courtney's manager/momager. I love my daughter very much, but I decided to step down due to serious creative differences."

Despite no longer working with Courtney, Krista, 55, hopes to take on new clients.

She added: "I will also be on the lookout for people that I would like to manage to help them reach their goals in the entertainment industry. I plan to use my time now to help my husband, Reggie, with his Christian website called PowerSharing.com, which is a ministry to uplift and inspire others to follow their dreams through faith."

Former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star Courtney, who has been married to 54-year-old actor Doug Hutchison for four years, received $1 million for her sex tape despite claiming two years ago she had turned down a $5 million offer to shoot a pornographic movie.

But she claims she is planning to donate the money to a children's charity.
