Jodie Sweetin just shared a story that sounds straight out of a movie, except she says it actually happened. At’90s Con in Connecticut, during a Full House cast reunion, Sweetin revealed that Bob Saget saved her from a drive-by shooting after a Janet Jackson concert back in the late’80s or early’90s. She explained that she leaned over to tie her shoes just as shots rang out and the car window shattered. She and Saget ran off and had to wait for two station wagon taxis, because this was long before rideshare apps existed.
Saget then drove her home and explained the incident to her mother. It’s a moment that shows the late comedian wasn’t just playing a protective TV dad, he was one in real life. Sweetin, now 44, told the panel she still questions whether the memory is real, saying,“I was there and I doubt that it happened, but it actually did, so.”Those decades-old scary memories have a way of feeling unreal even when they’re true.
The story lands with extra weight since Saget died in January 2022 at age 65. Full House fans are sharing it everywhere, and it’s bringing up the nostalgia of watching the Tanner family every week. Have you ever had a memory that felt too wild to be real?
