Jodie Sweetin Just Clarified A Common 'Full House' Misconception, And My Mind Is Blown

We all know the basic premise behind "Full House" — dad of three Danny Tanner enlists his best friend and brother-in-law, asking them to move into his house rent-free in exchange for helping him raise his three daughters following the death of his wife. For eight years (and then for decades longer in syndication and on streaming) we came to know and love D.J., Stephanie and Michelle, and the hijinks they got into with their dad, Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse. Wait, what do you mean that’s not right? Jodie Sweetin just spoke out about a common mistake made regarding the Tanners, and we are in shock.

Jodie Sweetin, who played the middle Tanner child, wanted to set the record straight about Dave Coulier’s Joey Gladstone and his relationship to Stephanie and her sisters. While Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) was the brother of Danny’s wife, Joey did not hold the same status within the family. On her "Full House" rewatch podcast "How Rude, Tanneritos!," Sweetin staunchly proclaimed of Joey.
