SHE’S 43 NOW! –
Nov. 22, 2025 – Jodie Sweetin instantly captured the hearts of Americans as 5-year ‘Stephanie Tanner’ on the hit show Full House in 1987. The show went on for 8 successful seasons, during which Primetime TV viewers had a front row seat to watch Sweetin and her on-screen sisters Candace Cameron Bure, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen grow up. But when the cameras stopped rolling, most weren’t aware of the difficulties that the actress faced in her late teens and early adult years. The Skinny Confidential Podcast, Jodie Sweetin opened up about her previous addiction. “I did not think I would live to see my 30th birthday at the way things were going in my mid-twenties,” the actress admits. “The point for me was to go too far,” she continues.
Her Social Media fans could not be more grateful for her using her forum in this way: “Thank you so much for this open, honest and real conversation about your lived experience, @jodiesweetin. Conversations like these normalize the strength it takes to get help,” one viewer shared. “Jodie was always one of my favorites to watch growing up and as an adult seeing her activism and strength, love her even more!!,” commented another.
