Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie on Full House)

I read on TMZ news that she is an admitted meth addict and an alcoholic and can't be alone with her own kid as she was deemed unfit. She was even driving drunk with her child in the car the report said.

Wow!

Anyone else hear anything?

I had read several months ago that she was having a lot of trouble, but that she was trying to get her life back together again.

There is so much of this among people who were actors from the time they were tiny. It's very rare to have someone turn out as emotionally stable as someone like Shirley Temple. Mostly we see those who were famous as children, growing up to have lives that are destroyed. It's such a shame.

I knew that she had been a meth addict.

Actually Jodie Sweetin played Stephanie on Full House.

I just read an article recently about her walking out on her husband and her addiction problems.

I read that same article Debbie, I think it was in People. I don't always believe everything I read of course, but I do believe this. I have a sister who suffers from addiction and it's not hard for me to imagine that Jodie may have been trying to solve her problems by starting a family. Very very sad, especially for her husband and of course her baby. I truly hope she will get help and pull herself together. She was SO cute on Full House---she was always my favorite over Michelle actually.

I meant Stephanie, but those Oleson twins have had their fair share of problems too.

At least Candice Cameron has always stayed true to herself...........or at least I think she has.

Yes, I believe she has too. The biz didn't seem to affect her negatively at all! And look at her brother Kirk? Talk about a guy who stayed true to his principals! I respect him greatly. Their parents certainly did something right!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing about Kirk.

Yeah I heard about that. My cousin met Jodie at this restaurant one time and talked to her... she was a big fan of the Oleson Twins & Full House in general so she was happy she got to meet 'Stephanie'.

I hope she gets her life together for her sake and her baby...

This is so sad. I hope she gets her life together too.

Candace and Kirk were brought up in a Christian home. That makes a huge difference too.

I'd heard of her addiction over a year ago.

I saw the celebrity roast of Bob Saget a few months ago on Comedy Central. She was sitting in the audience and looking pretty good. I hope she'll manage to stay in the right road. I'm sure it's tough, and I'm proud that she's been trying.

That is so sad!

Yes, it is.
