FULL HOUSE BEHIND-THE-SCENES SHOCKERS

THEY WERE EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TELEVISION FAMILY. BEHIND THE SCENES, THEY'VE BEEN PLAGUED BY SCANDAL AND TRAGEDY.

BETWEEN 1987 and 1995, few TV shows were as B wholesome as the hit sitcom Full House. Centered around a widowed father raising his three young daughters with the help of his brother-in-law and his childhood pal, the successful G-rated series ran for eight seasons on ABC, and was given a second life with a sequel, Fuller House, which ran for five seasons on Netflix.

But behind the corny dad jokes and feelgood messaging, things weren't always as squeaky-clean as they appeared. When cameras weren't rolling, the cast-including the late Bob Saget (who died at the age of 65 on Jan. 9 from a head trauma), Dave Coulier, John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and MaryKate and Ashley Olsen-were involved in everything from nasty backstage feuds to trouble with the law to crippling addiction issues. As a source tells Star, "There were definitely highs and lows going on in their personal lives while filming."

ARRESTS & LEGAL WOES

She played the eternally chipper Aunt Becky, but Lori's participation in the 2019 college admissions scandal sent the 58-year-old to prison. The actress spent two months in a federal facility in 2020 and was fined $150,000 for her role in Operation Varsity Blues (she and husband Mossimo Giannulli admitted to paying a fixer $500,000 to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California). Because of the jail time, she was axed from Fuller House for its final season.

She wasn't the only Full House alum to get into major legal trouble. John, 59, was the subject of a blackmail plot in which a woman he'd met at a strip club in Orlando, Fla., in 2004 allegedly attempted to extort $680,000 from him, claiming she had photos of the actor doing cocaine with strippers. (He sued the woman and her boyfriend; they were convicted of attempting extortion and sentenced to four years in prison in 2010.)
