after full house ended jody sweden
nearly lost everything and she wasn't
the only tanner sister developing an
unhealthy habit in fact pretty much the
entire cast of this classic sitcom has
endured their dark moments
bob saget will forever be best known for
playing america's dad danny tanner on
full house in case you're not already a
super fan of the show dany was a widowed
dad raising three daughters with the
help of his brother-in-law jesse and his
best friend joey outside of full house
saget was best known for his stand-up
comedy which he'd been doing since the
age of 17. his dirty stand-up persona
was pretty much the polar opposite of
straight-laced danny tanner but saggett
leaned into this dichotomy so much so
that a lot of his later material
included jokes at the expense of his
full house days you have a dirty mind
you know well you do he does i'm not i'm
telling you the truth i think everybody
does kind of except oh not like you not
like you bob
on january 9 2022 saget died
unexpectedly at the age of 65 while on
tour in orlando florida the cause of
death was head trauma which his family
revealed a month later they also
released a statement that read the
authorities have concluded that he
accidentally hit the back of his head on
something thought nothing of it and went
to sleep no drugs or alcohol were
involved
bob saget's passing was sadly not the
first tragedy to strike his family his
older sister gay died back in 1994 at
the age of 47 from scleroderma a disease
that hardens the skin coincidentally bob
died on the date that would have been
his sister's 75th birthday gay had only
been diagnosed three years earlier but
her symptoms came on quickly she needed
a lot of help as did her family so bob
made it one of his life's missions to
raise awareness of the disease and help
find a cure which sadly has still not
been found in 1996 bob channeled his
grief into art directing the made-for-tv
film for hope in memory of gay's life as
he noted in 2021 during the film's 25th
anniversary it was a very emotional and
fulfilling project a moment in my life
that i will always treasure humor is the
only way my family survived
shortly after full house ended candace
cameron beret who played oldest tanner
sister dj developed bulimia nervosa she
also got married around this time to
russian-american ice hockey player
valerie beret but this period of her
life was also extremely difficult to
navigate as she admitted to good
housekeeping in 2017 i really kind of
lost a sense of who i was because i put
so much value in myself as not only a
friend and a daughter but as an actress
having worked for so many years and i
couldn't quite find my place i got into
a cycle of binge eating and feeling such
guilt and shame for that then i would
start purging and without even knowing
it soon just took over i need help and
it felt so good to admit it beret has
been open about her experience and
recovery but it's also something she's
been dealing with ever since as she told
yahoo in 2021 when you struggle with
something like that it never goes away
but you have the tools in place to know
how to handle it when those temptations
or urges arise so that you don't go back
to old patterns furthermore she also
does her best to help others as an
eating disorder recovery advocate as she
also noted one thing we've done a great
job with is encouraging body confidence
body positivity and that all shapes and
sizes are beautiful the message across
the board from the media and magazines
is very different than it was you know
in the 80s and 90s
mary kate olsen shared the role of
youngest tanner's sister michelle with
her twin sister ashley after the show
ended the olsen twins acting careers
just got busier and busier and by the
mid-2000s they'd appeared in more than a
dozen films and tv shows but it was also
around this time that mary kate
developed the eating disorder anorexia
as reported by people magazine she went
to a rehab facility for treatment in
2004 after a family intervention as a
family insider put it they finally
reached the point where they had to act
they didn't want to find her dead on the
floor from not eating four years later
mary kate publicly spoke about her
eating disorder for the first time
though she didn't confirm whether it was
officially true or not true she had this
to say to el magazine everybody is going
to go through hard times it's a part of
life i think the hardest part to get to
is that point of asking for help or
reaching out to other people and being
honest with yourself
jody sweetin who played middletanner's
sister stephanie has been outspoken
about her experiences with alcohol and
substance addiction she was on the show
from the age of five until she was a
teenager and then when she was 14 she
started drinking as she recalled to us
weekly in 2009 that first drink gave me
the self-confidence i had been searching
for my whole life but that set the
pattern of the kind of drinking that i
would do
i just
hated the person that i'd become shortly
afterwards sweden started using hard
drugs including ecstasy cocaine and
methamphetamine she eventually went to
rehab and got sober in december 2008 but
before then her drug use seriously
affected her personal relationships in
2002 she married police officer sean
holguin though they then divorced in
2006 and sweden has admitted that her
addiction was a problem for them in 2007
sweden married her second husband cody
herpen and they had a daughter the
following year but she then hit rock
bottom a few months later after driving
drunk with her infant child in the car
she and herpin were already separated at
the time and they divorced after the
incident in 2010 she welcomed another
daughter with her boyfriend morty coyle
they married in 2012 but split months
later in 2013 at which time sweden
relapsed she eventually committed to
staying sober and trained as a drug and
alcohol counselor from 2015 to 2017 she
dated and was engaged to fellow
recovering addict justin hodak alas
their relationship ended on a sour note
as he violated a restraining order
against her
perhaps the most terrifying moment of
jodi sweetens path to sobriety happened
when she was drunk with her baby
daughter zoe as the actress recalled to
us weekly i had two glasses of wine and
drove with her in the car i not only put
myself in danger but also my daughter
who i loved more than anything i felt
terrible for several months after the
incident sweden's then-husband cody
herbin was seeking sole custody of zoe
as sweden explained to us weekly i got a
call that there was an emergency custody
investigation because of my drinking
from that day forward i threw myself
into going to aaa and avoided people who
do blow off their coffee tables
ultimately sweden and herpen were
awarded shared custody of zoe it's
sweden's hope that her daughters can
learn something from her experiences as
she told the fix in 2019 at the end of
the day i can be an example of a sober
woman for them whether they have to go
through their own struggles or not
in 1994 john stamos started dating
fellow actor rebecca romain they were
together for a decade until they
unexpectedly announced that they were
splitting up in 2004. the news was
particularly shocking as they'd
continued making public appearances
together even after they'd already
separated for example they went to the
x2 x-men united premiere together in
2003 despite having split up about six
months earlier despite the outside
appearances stamos and romaine's
relationship wasn't as rosy as they let
on subsequent interviews have revealed
plenty of hidden drama including romain
allegedly forcing stamos to turn down a
role in the fx show nip tuck as stamos
told details in 2015 ryan murphy wrote
niptuck for me but the person with whom
i was in a relationship at the time read
the script and said that's demeaning
toward women in 2009 stamos admitted
that his divorce made him feel like a
failure as he told people magazine we
were together for 10 years it was
heartbreaking in my book at this point i
would still be married and have three
kids
after mary kate and ashley olsen stopped
acting they focused on their fashion
careers instead by the early 2010s
they'd launched two luxury brands the
row and elizabeth and james this was
under the umbrella of dual star their
billion dollar entertainment and fashion
production company however while they
were selling alligator backpacks for 39
thousand dollars their company was
allegedly not paying its interns a cent
for up to 50 hours of labor each week so
in 2015 a group of design interns from
the row led by shahista lalani filed a
class action lawsuit against dual star
as lalani explained to page six you're
like an employee except you're not
getting paid they're kind of mean to you
other interns have cried i'd see a lot
of kids crying while doing coffee runs
photocopying stuff according to court
papers obtained by page six the suit
claims that the interns should have been
paid minimum wage as well as overtime as
they didn't earn other compensations
such as college credit for the hours
they worked this lack of payment was
happening despite their colleagues being
paid for doing the same type of jobs
dual star dubbed the lawsuit meritless
although it was later settled out of
court for 140 000
which was split between 185 interns
laurie lachlan is probably still today
best known for playing aunt becky on
full house she joined the series in 1988
as danny tanner's tv co-host and uncle
jesse's love interest and eventually
wife she reunited with her co-stars for
the netflix spin-off series fuller house
in 2015 but she had to be written out of
the show before its final season because
of her involvement in the 2019 college
admissions bribery scandal whose
investigation was known as operation
varsity blues lachlan and her husband
massimo januli went to prison in 2020
after pleading guilty for paying 500 000
to secure their daughter's places at the
university of southern california as
lachlan admitted at the time i made an
awful decision i went along with a plan
to give my daughters an unfair advantage
in the college admissions process and in
doing so i ignored my intuition and
allowed myself to be swayed from my
moral compass
i don't want to do anything
that one day might rear its ugly head
lachlan received a two-month sentence
while genuily served five months she's
since returned to the small screen on
the drama series when hope calls a
spin-off of when the heart calls the
show she was starring on prior to her
arrest
lachlan's on-screen husband john stamos
has had his own run-in with the law back
in 2015 he was arrested by the beverly
hills police department for driving
under the influence as he was pulled
over by the police after reports that
he'd been driving erratically after the
arrest he was taken straight to the
hospital to receive medical attention a
beverly hills pd public information
officer later confirmed that he was
indeed driving under the influence after
an investigation at the hospital stamos
ultimately avoided jail time but he was
ordered to undergo a three-month stay in
rehab and this wasn't the first time
that alcohol had gotten him into trouble
back in 2007 he appeared intoxicated
while promoting the medical drama er on
the australian talk show mornings with
carrie anne he later apologized for
being plastered and blamed his behavior
on jet lag
