Jodie Sweetin on the Today Show, 11/2/2009

Matt Lauer interviewed Jodie Sweetin on the Today Show this morning.

Sweetin was there promoting her new book, Unsweetined, as well as telling us, once again, about her struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. I’m pretty much over her and her stories. I still don’t trust her. She hasn’t proven that she is 100% clean yet. Last time she did a big media tour like this she was simultaneously using. I do hope for her sake that she is clean though, I mean, I don’t want to see her fail, but I think she’s coming out with this book and everything a little too soon. Little Boy who Cried Wolf, anyone?

Jodie Sweetin, the fallen child star who, on more than one occasion, has lied about her sobriety, is claiming, AGAIN, to be sober.

But this time, instead of exhausting the morning show circuit and speaking publicly about sobriety (after coming off a two day bender), she has written a book.

unSweetined is a tell-all describing her relapse, her deceptions and her eventual sobriety. I can’t help but wonder if it’s a work of fiction. Another paycheck to fund her drug habit. I don’t trust that she is clean anymore than I trust that Joe Francis is a gentleman.

How many times is she going to claim she’s sober? Even the little boy who cried wolf only got so many chances.  It’s turned into a money making gig for her. Getting paid to talk about being clean, then taking the money and running off to buy an 8-ball.

An excerpt from the book:

“I thought for sure that one of the professors would take one look at me and kick me out. But none did. They wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Jodie Sweetin, or at least the Jodie Sweetin I had created by appearing on Good Morning America and talking to People magazine.

“The relapse started one day, just a few months after my GMA spot, when I got a random phone call from a friend who I used with and who occasionally sold me drugs. I invited her to my place. I was in an apartment at the time. I knew it was a really bad idea to invite her over but I wanted to test myself, I guess. We hung out, played cards. I told her I hadn’t done meth in a while. One thing led to another and just like that, I was back. I was living a complete lie. But unfortunately, guilt doesn’t make you stop. I talked about growing up on television and about how great my life was now that I was sober… The little bit of coke that I had done before the speech wasn’t enough to make me forget how bad I felt for doing what I was doing. The guilt was eating away at me. I was struggling to keep it together, but no one realized that. I finished. They applauded. Standing ovation. Just how I liked it. And it was over.

“I went back to my hotel room and buried my face in my hands. I couldn’t keep doing this. It had to end.But not today. I wiped away the tears and finished the baggie of coke.”

I’m not buying what she’s selling. She claims she invited a known drug addict over to “test herself”? Bullish! What she is doing is twisting the truth, so maybe we can call it a work of fiction. At the very least, is it “loosely” based on a true story. Very loosely. KY jelly loose, even.

unSweetined hits shelves November 3rd.

A judge has ruled that former Full House child star Jodie Sweetin is not be left alone with her 8-month old baby.

The ruling took place during an emergency hearing requested by Sweetin’s estranged husband, Cody Herpin, who told the courts that his ex had driven while intoxicated with their infant child in the vehicle.

Jodie is a recovering alcoholic and methamphetamine user who, in the past, credited her former husband with saving her life.

She will only be allowed to spend time with her child if  one or both of her parents supervise.

A doctor also testified that Jodie had recently relapsed but she did not feel the child was in immediate danger.

The judge in the case is requiring both parents to take a drug test before their next scheduled hearing.

Sorry, but I called it last month. I knew she had been using again. When she bailed on her husband, taking the baby with her, I knew something was up. We will see to what extent once the drug test results come in. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if BOTH parents tests come back dirty.

Some people just should not procreate…period.

Jodie Sweetin, the former Full House star who in the past battled an addiction to methamphetamine, filed for divorce from her husband Wednesday.

Sweetin often credited her husband, Cody Herpin, for helping turn her life around. The couple had a baby daughter in April, who Sweetin took with her when she left. Her husband is concerned for his child’s safety and says he was blindsided by the news.

“I was dumbfounded. Over this past month something has been different. I’m concerned about our daughter and I just want her home.”

Sweetin’s agent claims that the actress is 100% clean, but it sounds to me like she is covering up. I mean, hello! That’s her job.

She stated, “[Jodie has] come to this path in their life and she felt like this is the way she had to go. Jodie says it’s unfortunate but it’s just what has to happen right now. No more detail, only because she says she doesn’t want to be disrespectful to him.”

More like she has no idea what’s going on either.

Jodie probably took off with the baby and is sitting her ass in a crackhouse right now, geeked out of her head. I hope I’m wrong, but this whole scene is fishy..
