The Olsen Twins may have emerged from Full House as billionaires for life, but their co-stars seem messed up beyond repair. First, Dave Coulier (who played Uncle Joey) did a number on Alanis Morissette and was immortalized in her break-up anthem “You Oughta Know.” Then there was John “Uncle Jesse” Stamos admitting he was drunk on morning television in 2007. And now Jodie Sweetin — a.k.a. precocious middle child Stephanie Tanner — comes clean that she wasn’t quite sober during her press tour on overcoming her personal drug demons:
Former “Full House” star Jodie Sweetin was high on cocaine, even while telling students at universities across the country she’d kicked her habit once and for all.
The one-time child actor comes clean in her new autobiography, “unSweetined,” recounting nights of endless partying and drugs, including coke, meth and Ecstasy, even at points in her life when she was supposedly sober, according to an excerpt at Amazon.com.
“I did a few key bumps [snorting cocaine off a key] and headed to the lecture hall, where a sold-out crowd waited to hear me speak,” Sweetin writes in the excerpt. “I thought for sure that one of the professors would take one look at me and kick me out. But none did. They wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Jodie Sweetin, or at least the Jodie Sweetin I had created.”
I feel like I’ve been hearing this particular comeback story about Jodie Sweetin for years now. Oh wait, I have: In 2006, she told ABC that she “would like to make [my addictions] a footnote to my career, not the end.” And then in 2008, she was talking to kids in schools about the perils of drug use.
Maybe this book proves it’s time for her to give up the ghost of being an anti-drug advocate? Because her track record — forgive the pun — blows.

“Billionaires for life” and “messed up beyond repair” not mutually exclusive.
Don’t forget it was the Olsen twins who were shooting up with Heath Ledger the night he died.
Are those her real boobs!?!?!
She looks great for a coke/meth/ecstasy addict… maybe she fabricated the drug abuse stories. That would mean she lied about lying about being sober during a lecture to not do the things she never did. How cool would that be? That would cement her as my favorite former Full House star.
And Jrod would totally hit it.
Those are real, but she’s got hips to match in a straight frontal picture.
I’m still wigging over Coulier getting scrumpy with anyone besides himself. [SHUDDER.]
On another note, why the dickens do people wear Ed Hardy t-shirts?? Don’t they know it makes them look like douches or idiots??
Oh and I agree with Beige. The image of Coulier shedding those front-pleated khakis and heinously fug 80s sweaters is ewwwwwww
JRod comment on the photo in 3…2…1…
Just another one trying to cash in on past fame.
And Dave Coulier is ewwwwwwwwwwwww fully dressed. He’s so unfunny its not funny.
I remember hearing rumors that she’d fallen off the wagon during her motivational speaking tours. On the one hand, that’s clearly bad. On the other, if I’d been second fiddle to the Olsen twins, drugs would probably look pretty good.
Seriously though, I hope she is able to kick her habit. She’s got a little girl and no kid needs to deal with that.
Welllll…okay, Coulier was funny in one stand-up routine. Once. It had to do with being awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night.
ONCE.
“Just another one trying to cash in on past fame.” yep, you got that right! she realizes she needs her bills paid and what other way to do it? and she’s more screwed up than i thought.. she wears ed hardy. yuck!
I was gonna be all snarky about Dave Coulier inflicting the world with Alanis Morrisette but it’s been 15 years since I thought about either of them so… Eh.
@Math Major: Jrod is too busy trying to hit it. He’ll get back to us when he can, no doubt.
I’d hit it, and probably take a key bump or 2…
@Beige and Math Major.
Its like you guys KNOW me!
“Don’t forget it was the Olsen twins who were shooting up with Heath Ledger the night he died.”
Is that a rumor or a verified fact?
Another typical “hey-look-at-me” person that nobody is looking at. She’s pushing a book and all she’s really interested in is fame and money.
Personally, I don’t care enough about her to even consider following her story or buying her book. I don’t want to encourage her behavior.
Perhaps she could go GET A JOB?
Freak,
What is she qualified at to get a job? I highly doubt she has a college education or has any qualifications other than Full House alumni.
I see at least 2 qualifications for at least ONE job…
@Tal “Don’t forget it was the Olsen twins who were shooting up with Heath Ledger the night he died.”

It is not true. He was alone when he died. He was dating one of the twins but she was out of town when it happened. Whoever found him called her apartment next door & I believe it was her bodyguard who came to help.
Aw, this is sad, I’m mentally cheering for her to succeed kicking the habit. I guess the only diff between her and The Twins, is that they can handle their “meds” better.
