You've Picked Your Top 10 Full House Episodes, And Now the Final Tally Is In!; And Speaking of Full House...
And sticking to Full House, Jodie Sweetin was recently on ABC's Good Morning America talking about a serious problem she faced. So it looks like that sitcom wasn't so wholesome afterall! Sweetin was addicted to a serious drug called methamphetamine. If her TV character ever did that, I'm sure Danny Tanner would have not been happy at all.
When the show ended in 1995, she said she wanted to be a normal kid. She went to high school and college and by age 20 was married to a Los Angeles police officer — TV older sister Candice Cameron was in the wedding party.
But two years ago, she found herself dangerously addicted to one of the most debilitating drugs, methamphetamine. She said she was unemployed and bored and began simply by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday.
The tabloid press reported a three-day bender as well as an intervention staged by her Full House castmates — including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget.
Sweetin, 24, never went as far as to blame her life as a child star for her addiction, but said that it was difficult to discover who she truly was after the show ended.
The good news is:
Sweetin has been clean and sober since March of last year and now wants to get back into acting.
"I want to make movies, TV series, wherever the career takes me," she said. "I really hope this isn't the last people hear of me. In fact, I would like to make this a footnote in my career, not the end."
