Jodie Sweetin

Jodie Sweetin is a former child actor best known for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the family sitcom, Full House. Sweetin was born on January 19, 1982 and broke into acting at age 4. In 1986, she appeared in an Oscar Mayer hot dog commercial. She later had her first TV acting role in a guest spot on The Hogan Family as the niece of the next-door neighbor, Mrs. Poole. These early roles led to her starring role on Full House.




I personally thought that Full House was one of the crappiest shows I have ever seen on TV. I've never understood the appeal of Bob Saget, the father of the Tanner family on the show, and I sure don't remember him ever saying anything funny on any show on which he's ever appeared. However, my dislike of Bob Saget and the show notwithstanding, I will admit that Full House was very popular and it did manage to stay on the air for 8 seasons, from 1987-1995.

America saw Sweetin grow from a 5-year-old child up to a 13-year-old adolescent by the time the show was cancelled in 1995. Sweetin was a cute kid and was popular with many young girls and boys. However, unbeknownst to her loved ones, something was missing from her life that wouldn't become conspicuous until years later.

Sweetin graduated from high school in 1999 and then attended Chapman University from 1999–2003. She pledged Alpha Phi sorority and majored in mass communications, planning a show business career as an acting teacher. During her time in high school and in college, Sweetin occasionally made guest appearances on popular TV shows, including Brotherly Love, Party of Five, and Yes, Dear. She also did commercials for Cheerios, Kooshlings, Disneyland, and Sea World.

After college, Sweetin dated and eventually a married police officer and semi-pro tennis player named Shaun Holguin on July 27, 2002. Many of her former Full House castmates attended the ceremony. Here are pictures of her and Holguin from their wedding day:

Holguin looks like a clean-cut guy, but Sweetin was only 20 at the time she got married, and apparently wasn't ready for all of the responsibilities of marriage. She quickly bored of married life as her acting career fizzled, and she turned to drugs. By 2003, she had developed a daily addiction to crystal meth, which eventually became her sole purpose in life. Her husband claims to have been completely unaware of her addiction, although it is extremely difficult to believe that her husband could possibly be that much of an idiot to not notice that his wife was a junkie. Sweetin's addiction to crystal meth became so bad that five of her teeth eventually rotted away from the drug abuse. Luckily for her, she had the presence of mind to voluntarily check herself into rehab in 2005. She later appeared on Good Morning America in 2006 to discuss her addictions to drugs.

Her drug use put a tremendous amount of strain on her marriage and was undoubtedly embarrassing to her policeman husband. She and Holguin divorced in 2006.

Sweetin must have felt really lonely after her first husband left her, because she quickly hooked up with a heavily tattooed douche bag named Cody Herpin. Their relationship progressed quickly and they got married in July 2007. Sweetin is now pregnant with her first child.

According to IMDB, Herpin has been a driver and set designer on the sets of several shows. I question how long this marriage will last - Herpin looks like total dirtbag and loser. Sweetin claims to be completely sober right now, but I have to believe that she was on something when she married him. How long will it be until she gets bored with him?

In an effort to change her image, Sweetin has apparently fixed her rotted teeth and acquired huge breast implants. She looks hot, albeit in a somewhat slutty kind of way in the pictures below. However, she's trying to look her best to get back into acting roles. From July 2006 to 2007, Sweetin secured a job as host of the second season of Pants-Off Dance-Off, a TV-14 rated dance contest on Fuse TV that is probably watched by about 7 people. The program features amateurs stripping down to their underwear to their favorite music videos. I've never heard of the show, but she definitely has the perfect look to host a show with amateur strippers.

In view of her drug abuse, fizzled career, and marriage to an ugly loser, Jodi Sweetin is definitely one washed-up celebrity!

***Update - June 18, 2011 ***

Sweetin separated from Cody Herpin on November 19, 2008 and finalized a divorce with him on April 20, 2010. They had one daughter together. In their divorce proceedings, Herpin's lawyers alleged that Sweetin had returned to her drug abusing ways and the court issued a temporary custody ruling that required Sweetin to be in her mother’s presence while caring for her child.

Notwithstanding his tattoos, Herpin actually seems to have been the more normal and down-to-earth of the two in this marriage. Sweetin and Herpin eventually worked out their differences and Sweetin was given joint custody of their daughter and ordered to pay Herpin $600 per month in child support.

Sweetin has since gotten engaged to much older man, Morty Coyle, who is a celebrity DJ and is at least 13 years older than her. Sweetin gave birth to a baby with Coyle on August 31, 2010. Here are some pictures of Coyle - he shows off his class by making it appear as though he is taking a dump in the photo on the left.


Sweetin appears to be hell-bent on becoming white trash in the unlikely event that she isn't already. She has two children from different men. She's about to become married for the third time and she won't even be 30 years old until 2012. Each of her husbands/fiancees seem less desirable than the one before.

Sweetin should probably be seeing a psychiatrist because it is clear to me that she rushes into things and doesn't know what she really wants. I wonder whether her upcoming marriage will even last three years before she gets bored and leaves Coyle like she left her previous husbands.
