Andrea Barber (friend)
Jodie recently posted a special birthday message to her “forever friend” of over 30 years, Andrea Barber. Though they may bicker a lot in their ‘Fuller House’ scenes, these two are super close in real life.
Sweetin said, “Happy, happy birthday AB @andreabarber You are truly one of my favorites and a forever friend. Here’s to many more years of turkey basting, full crew pranks on set, yelling at casino dealers, laughs and lunch time therapy sessions, haha! Love you lots and hope you’re celebrating YOU!! Xoxo“
Jodie Sweetin is opening up about the special bond she shared with her TV dad Bob Saget. In a virtual interview with NBC's Joe Fryer, the 40-year-old "Full House" alum revealed that she's still processing Saget's death while also taking stock of the joyous life lessons the late comedian taught her.
Sweetin snorted meth at the 2004 premiere of the Olsen twins' film New York Minute, and then partied hard with John Stamos and Ashley Olsen later that night. The two TV sisters passed out with hunky Uncle Jesse in his bed, she claimed in her shocking 2009 memoir, UnSweetined.
"Jodie and I … we're sitting at dinner and the paparazzi takes a picture of us, and they purposely Photoshop a nip slip onto her, and it hits the press," said Coulier, describing the series' premise. "So she's outraged, but I think it's a real opportunity.
