swan Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 Former Full House cutie Jodie Sweetin has earned herself a spot on the lengthy list of child stars gone wrong. During an appearance on Good Morning America Wednesday, Sweetin, who played middle sister Stephanie Tanner on the hit sitcom, revealed that she is a recovering meth addict and once battled a daily drug habit. http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/...3885496009.html
Nighthawk Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 I read about that in the Globe (in the checkout line).
ZGangsta Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 As usual, thesuperficial.com has the best commentary on this: It has recently come to light that Stephanie Tanner Jodie Sweetin was a meth addict. Two years ago she was unemployed and bored and began by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday. At some point a three-day bender ensued, as well as an intervention staged by her Full House castmates -- including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget. Sweetin said she checked herself in to the Promises drug rehab facility for six weeks of intense treatment. She's 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." I would've loved to have been at that intervention. That's what tv reunion shows should be like; the meth-addicted daughter, the anorexic twins. The befuddled yet slightly aroused father, trying to talk everyone down and see if anyone will get naked. Really, the only thing missing from Stephanie's wayward story is a dip into low-budget pornography, something like Full House of Lesbians. Seems a shame to waste a custom-built porn name like Sweetin. But there's still plenty of time.
Scroby Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 I'd still like to bite that neck of hers
Lil' Bitch Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 So is Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, Blade: Trinity) apparantly.
Angle-plex Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Nothing like a drug addiction to get washed up actors back in the spot light.
bob_barron Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 How bored do you have to be? This sucks though, just because Stephanie was the best character on that show. Pin a rose on your nose
Vyce Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 This is why you make some of us nervous, Barron. Some of us are sitting here thinking about how we can convince Jody Sweetin to suck our dicks for a hit of meth, and you're going on about some TV show she worked on when she was like 10. You're an odd little man.
bob_barron Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 No trust me, I think she's hot too. I remember seeing her on A&E Biography last year and...damn. But I also love Full House
Ted the Poster Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Plus the show was so awful and sugary that'd it'd give an anorexic diabetes. How anyone with a Y chromosome can find that drudge funny is beyond me.
bob_barron Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Some of the early episodes are kinda bad, and Joey can get annoying, but I like it. The episodes in the later years were WAY too focused on Michelle though. The Stephanie-Gia episodes were usually good stuff
Nighthawk Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 The show was funny precisely because it was so utterly inane.

The Czech Republic Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I think Bob Barron and I are a lot alike in many ways, except that he likes Saturday Night Live, and I prefer Mr. Show. He likes famous teenage girls, and I just like teenage girls that I'm friends with. Bob has unkempt curly hair under a dirty Braves hat, I have unkempt, thick, well-conditioned hair under a weathered Cubs hat. I guess Bob and I really aren't so alike.
The Czech Republic Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 That's marginally cool. Didn't the Nets wear tie-dyed jerseys then? Wasn't that guy that butchered the National Anthem doing so at a Nets game?
bob_barron Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 It uses ABA colours. Most of the hat is in blue with a red bill. NETS is written in part blue/part red with a blue and red basketball below it.
Darthtiki Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 What gets me is while she was doing this she was married to an LAPD officer. Apparently, he failed drug training at the academy.

I've always pictured you as looking like the guy on the extreme right of your sig. At least, that's the picture I fantasize about when I touch myself at night.
bob_barron Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Full House is on right now. It's the one where Joey puts watching the Super Bowl over Michelle's science group. Yawn, Stephanie is only in one scene.
Vampiro69 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 I would have guessed that the Olsen twins would have been on meth before Sweetin.
2GOLD Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 I would have guessed that the Olsen twins would have been on meth before Sweetin. They might be, she just admitted it.
EdwardKnoxII Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Anyone else think that Sweetin's drug intervention ended like an ep of Full House. With Danny saying no matter what drugs she does she'll always be apart of the family with some sickling sweet music playing in the background. And then it ends in a group hug. And then Jessie yells out "Have Mercy" And then the twins yell out "You got it dude".
NYU Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 You've gotta feel like shit when, of all people, the Olsen twins are telling you to clean up and straighten out your life.
Nighthawk Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Why would she admit to it when she's apparently been clean for a year anyway? She wants attention. And while this really has nothing to do with the subject, I'll say it anyway. That episode of Family Guy where Brian is talking to that girl about John Coltrane and they say they like him before he got clean. Everybody knows Coltrane's best work was after he was off the junk. That's just something people say to sound cool, like James Bond ordering his drink shaken, not stirred.
Slayer Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 I'd turn to drugs too if I had to hang around the Olsen twins for as long as she did
Gary Floyd Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 You just know Uncle Jessie did drugs back in the day.
