Facebook has reinstated Stodden's account, however, and apologized. The company said in a statement: "This page was removed in error and has been restored."

Stodden's mother told E! News she believes FB disabled her daughter's account because catty women were posting mean message on Courtney's page.

She told E!:

    "We're happy that it was finally addressed, as I'm sure many others have dealt with similar abuse and didn't know they could do anything about it ... Maybe Facebook can look at the cyberbullying and do something more proactive about it. Putting a stop to cyber bullying is something Courtney is very involved in. She's happy something was done!"
