Jodie Sweetin: Former 'Full House' Actress Calls Rumors She's In Rehab 'Bullsh**t'

Rumors swirled this week that former "Full House" actress Jodie Sweetin, who has openly struggled with addiction in the past, was back in rehab, but now the 31-year-old is firing back, calling the gossip "such bulls**t."

Sweetin told TMZ that the rumors are untrue, noting that the reason she has been spotted at a California rehab facility is because she works there as a clinical logistics coordinator. Sweetin also admitted to staying on the premises in a studio apartment while she struggles through a divorce from her third husband, Morty Coyle.

"I work for the center and they have been really generous in helping me with a place to stay as Morty wanted me out by the end of the month," the actress said. "The owners of the facility said I could stay here as I got things figured out."

Sweetin, who filed for divorce from Coyle after less than two years of marriage, also shared that she will no longer be seeking full custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Beatrix.

While she initially asked for primary physical custody of the tot, Sweetin, who is also mom to 5-year-old Zoie with ex Cody Herpin, decided to change the request to joint custody so her daughter can have "both parents in her life."

Sweetin is best known for her role as the sweet and sassy middle child, Stephanie Tanner, on the '90s sitcom "Full House," but more recently the former child star has made headlines for her struggles with drugs.

Sweetin has admitted to once being addicted to crystal meth and alcohol, but says she has been sober for more than five years.

"I got sober for good on Dec. 7, 2008," she said in an interview with Us Weekly. "I was flying to L.A. and I ended up taking a bunch of Nyquil and drinking... When I got home, I got a call that there was an emergency custody investigation because of my drinking. From that day forward, I threw myself into AA and avoided people who do blow off their coffee tables... I'm happier than I can remember."
