John Stamos Has Lori Loughlin’S Back: Defending His ‘Full House’ Fam Amid Socal Scandal Drama

Uncle Jesse’s Loyalty: Stamos Stands by Loughlin Post-Scandal

Have mercy, LA fam! John Stamos, our forever Uncle Jesse from the classic ‘Full House,’ is stepping up to defend his on-screen wife and real-life pal, Lori Loughlin, years after the 2019 college admissions scandal that shook up Hollywood harder than a Santa Monica earthquake. Loughlin, alongside her now-estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli, got caught in the messy drama surrounding their daughters’ college apps, and Stamos is still waving the loyalty flag high.

Dishing on the ‘Good Guys’ podcast with Josh Peck and Ben Soffer, Stamos didn’t hold back. He gets why some folks are still salty about the whole thing—especially parents whose kids grinded for grades and didn’t snag those coveted college spots—but he’s Team Lori all the way. ‘I called her the second I heard about it,’ he shared, painting her as anything but the villain in this Tinseltown tale.

‘She’s not a liar, y’all—she’s practically a saint,’ Stamos insisted, doubling down on his ride-or-die vibe for Loughlin.

Heartbreak on the Hollywood Horizon: Loughlin’s Split and Stamos’ Support

The scandal wasn’t just a PR nightmare—it hit Loughlin’s personal life like a wrecking ball on the Sunset Strip. Stamos revealed she’s ‘devastated’ over her split from Giannulli, and he’s not here for seeing her dragged through the mud. ‘She didn’t deserve this,’ he said, sounding like he’s ready to cruise down PCH to fight for her honor.

‘Here’s a woman who’s lived right—great mom, amazing wife, solid human,’ Stamos added, speaking from years of knowing her off and on set. He’s gutted seeing her family implode under the spotlight, especially in a town like LA where every misstep gets amplified. ‘I just hate watching her go through this,’ he admitted, and honestly, we’re feeling the heartbreak too.

Almost a Real-Life Love Story: Stamos and Loughlin’s Close Bond

Now, let’s rewind to some juicier deets—did you know Stamos and Loughlin could’ve been more than just TV spouses? In his memoir, ‘If You Would Have Told Me,’ Stamos spills that Lori was his ‘Sandra Dee from Grease,’ the ultimate good girl who lit up his world every time they shared space on set. Talk about a missed Hollywood romance!

‘She’s one of the few people I’ve spent endless days with and still can’t wait to see again,’ he wrote, gushing over their deep friendship. He knew her quirks, her laughs, everything that could’ve made them a power couple—except his eyes wandered to Rebecca Romijn at a Victoria’s Secret bash in the ‘90s. Lori clocked his wandering heart, smirking at him from the sidelines like a true SoCal queen who knew he wasn’t ready to settle.

While Stamos eventually tied the knot with Romijn (only to split in 2004), his bond with Loughlin stayed tight. It’s the kind of friendship that’s pure gold in a town full of fleeting connections, and you can bet it’s stronger than a double-shot espresso from an Arts District café.

Reliving the ‘Full House’ Magic: Wedding Nostalgia with a Side of Laughs

Let’s throw it back to Season 4 of ‘Full House,’ when Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky said ‘I do’ in one of the most iconic TV weddings to ever hit the Bay Area—or at least, the San Fran-inspired set. Stamos and Loughlin reminisced about those episodes on a June 6 chat for the ‘How Rude, Tanneritos!’ podcast, serving up nostalgia hotter than a Venice Beach summer day.

Stamos cracked up over a fave memory—inviting his buddy Kin Shriner from ‘General Hospital’ to play Sheriff Harold, who rolled in with a bullhorn as the Sheriff of Tomato Country, munching on a salted tomato. Classic! He also got deep, talking about singing ‘Forever,’ a track about unrequited love that he now performs live with a tribute video to the late Bob Saget, reminding fans to cherish their loved ones because ‘tomorrow’s never promised.’

Loughlin chimed in with some behind-the-scenes cuteness, revealing both their moms were extras in the wedding scenes. While Stamos’ mom, Loretta, went full Hollywood with her performance, Loughlin’s mom played the reluctant star, grumbling through the gig but still making it a family affair. ‘My mom was a total ham—I don’t know where I got it,’ Loughlin laughed, proving some memories are sweeter than a Malibu sunset.
