Jodie Sweetin had to get some financial help before receiving her first Fuller House paycheck. The actress rose to fame as a child star in the late 80s and early 90s thanks to her iconic role as Stephanie Tanner on Full House.
The sitcom ran for eight seasons before coming to an end in 1995. More than a decade later, Netflix greenlit a revival series titled Fuller House, and Sweetin joined the project alongside nearly all of her former costars.
During the gap between the two shows, Sweetin took a break from acting and worked regular day jobs instead. She recalled ultimately deciding to leave her job to return to the small screen during a recent appearance on the We're Still Here, Babe podcast.
She explained that she quit her job for multiple reasons, and that she was involved in the pitch meetings alongside costars Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, John Stamos, and Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin. She said she would leave work for a couple of hours to go to a pitch meeting and then come back, but it was getting harder to balance both jobs and she wanted to be more involved behind the scenes.
Sweetin admitted that the time in between paychecks was a rough period as a mom of two. While waiting for that first paycheck to arrive, her bank account started to dwindle, and she had to take action.
She shared that she had to borrow money the first week she was working on Fuller House, and that she skidded into her first paycheck with very little left in her bank account. While she didn't reveal who she borrowed money from, she shared that none of her Fuller House castmates were aware of her hardship.
She added that her situation is not unique and many former child stars also struggle with financial issues. Everything worked out in the end as Fuller House ran for five seasons before ending in 2020.
