- Jodie Sweetin said on the We’re Still Here, Babe podcast that she had about $190 in her bank account when she began working on Fuller House, borrowed money in the first week, and that none of her coworkers knew.
- Jodie Sweetin said addiction left her with “no money,” leading her to broaden her job search to non-Hollywood work and prioritize paying bills because, as she put it, “Kids don’t pay for themselves.”
- Jodie Sweetin described turning around at Target and putting items back when her debit card lacked sufficient funds, calling the experience a lesson in humility.
- Full House ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995, and Sweetin became famous as Stephanie Tanner; she later returned for Netflix’s five-season Fuller House, which totaled nearly 80 episodes.
Why it matters: For Sweetin and her children, the $190 starting balance translated into concrete constraints: she accepted non-Hollywood work to cover bills and put Target purchases back when her debit card fell short. Those details add a financially precarious chapter to her *Fuller House* comeback.
