This in from AOL news, Jodi Sweetin, former star of Full House, admits she was addicted to meth. She went through a program and is clean now. Shocking! ---

Funny, I was expecting this be about one of the Olsens. ---

I read that earlier. She said something to the effect of she was bored and to pass the time she started doing drugs. Yeah, great plan there sweetie. To stave off boredom, take a drug that _keeps you awake for days at a time_. ---

I heard in NPR that Saget, Coulier, and the Olsens did a confrontation type of thing with her and encouraged her to check in to rehab. I have a soft spot for her and hope she stays clean. ---

Why do I feel weird about Uncle Jesse now? I mean, the Olsen twins are busy people but they found time. ---

Actually, I read it was John Stamos, not Coulier, along with Saget and the Olsens who staged the intervention. That’s what [this story](http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/articles/0202sweetin.html) says too. ---

> [@Bomzaway](#): > > I heard in NPR that Saget, Coulier, and the Olsens did a confrontation type of thing with her and encouraged her to check in to rehab. > > I have a soft spot for her and hope she stays clean. Now that’s what I call a very special episode! ---

I also read that Stamos was there and Coulier wasn’t. I don’t think it’s necessarily a big deal – actors are sometimes on the other side of the country and there are a million reasons why he couldn’t make it. OTOH, it also fits what I’ve heard about Coulier. –Cliffy ---

I, too, wonder where her family was (and am somewhat less concerned by Joey’s no-show-- maybe he was at skating practice). ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > She did, I think, three movies, and has since retired from the adult-entertainment industry. > [@Jaimee Foxworth](#): > > It’s all behind me now. I’m more religious and I’m focusing on serious acting again. […] I’m glad my mistakes are behind me now. Girl, you might want to wait until that “focusing on serious acting” actually results in, oh, I don’t know, a _role_ of some description before declaring your mistakes behind you. A childhood stint in a third-rate sitcom and a handful of porn movies isn’t the greatest resume. Focusing on serious acting sounds like another mistake. Try night school. Maybe the hospitality industry? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/full-house-star-meth-addict/342765.md?page=2)
