Jodie Sweetin is finally coming clean about not coming clean. Despite her claims that she had kicked her drug habit, the Full House star admits she's was just lying to everyone. In her new book unSweetined, Sweetin says she relapsed but kept booking gigs to make quick money to pay for her drug addiction.
She went back to partying and spending seven hundred dollars a week on meth and coke. Sweetin even revealed in her book that she downed a bag of coke right before one of her interviews.
I understand that child stars had crazy lives when they were young and got into drugs because they were hanging out with the wrong people when they were so young. However, in this case I don't think the people Sweetin interacted with were bad influences. I mean it was Full House, the most popular family show ever, so she should've become a better person from being on the show, not a drug addict. In my opinion, I feel like she probably would've become addicted to drugs even if she wasn't a former child star. It is a very sad thing to see someone who had so much potential as a child, throw away her life and career for drugs. She was on the right track when she decided to get sober, but it is not okay that she lied that she was sober; she was only hurting herself. It baffles me even more that she went to interviews that were on national television high, and absolutely no one noticed at all or even if they did, they didn't say anything. That is so unprofessional and morally wrong to talk about how you are sober and that your rehab was a success and be high on coke while saying these things. I understand that she is in need of help and had an addiction, but it is just not right. It is sending a bad message to people who grew up watching the show and seeing her as a role model.
