We’d almost forgotten all about Stephanie Tanner until she reentered our universe as a ‘celebrity’ in June of 2008. That fateful month Jodie Sweetin, aka Steph, was People Magazine’s cover girl featured along with her 7-week-old daughter Zoie in an article entitled “From Meth Addict to New Mom” (people.com). Way back then, Jodie was happy healthy and ready to talk about it.
This month, Steph’s back in the headlines.
Jodie’s estranged husband, Cody Herpin, alleges in court papers that Steph’s taken a nosedive off of the sobriety bus. He says he’s worried about little Zoie. Jodie fought back this week on People.com. She’s says she’s now “100 percent sober.” She admits to having a few glasses of wine at a dinner over the summer, but now she says back on the wagon and working the steps. Her hubby Herpin doesn’t seem to be buying it. Regardless, both husband and wife must be drug tested before their next hearing on February 9th, so we'll see who's been hitting the meth sauce (people.com).
This whole mess saddens us. We can remember when Jodie was just an irritating little girl with a side ponytail and a snaggle-toothed smile. Her only concern back then: trying to upstage those damn Olsens. Those were the days. From Mary-Kate to meth. They grow up so fast, don’t they?
