John Stamos, best known for his role as Uncle Jesse in the iconic sitcom “Full House,” recently sat down with USA TODAY’s Erin Jensen to discuss his new Disney+ series “Big Shot.” During the interview, Stamos reflected on the lasting impact of “Full House” and shared some shocking revelations from his upcoming memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me.”
In a heart-wrenching chapter of his book, Stamos divulges details about the demise of his relationship with actress Teri Copley. According to Stamos, Copley cheated on him with none other than actor Tony Danza, known for his role in “Who’s the Boss?”
Stamos recounts how Copley’s behavior changed upon his return from touring, leaving him concerned about their lack of communication. Determined to check on her, Stamos arrived at Copley’s house, only to discover a car parked in the driveway that didn’t belong to him.
“I shuffle to the car with my stomach sinking and take a quick look inside. There’s a hairbrush, keys, boxing gloves, and a half-unrolled poster of my girlfriend, naked, barely covered by a white sheet,” Stamos writes. “I’ve never seen this poster before.”
Unable to enter Copley’s house, Stamos ventured to her guesthouse. To his horror, he found Copley in bed with an unidentified man, nicknamed “Mr. Porsche Speedster” due to the vintage convertible parked outside Copley’s home.
“My heart is beating out of my chest. My mind is racing, and the room is spinning. I feel like throwing up all over her white shag carpet. It’s my worst nightmare,” Stamos recalls.
In a bitter twist of fate, Stamos later realized that Danza played a significant role in his acting career. “Full House,” which initially struggled with ratings, was paired with Danza’s hit sitcom “Who’s the Boss?” on the ABC lineup. This unlikely pairing propelled “Full House” to newfound success and made Stamos a household name.
“If you would have told me the day I walked into that room and caught my true love in bed with another guy that his show, ‘Who’s the Boss?,’ would launch ‘Full House’ into a bona fide hit, making me a household name,” Stamos shares. “Well, what can I say? Thanks, Tony Danza.”
Representatives for Copley and Danza have been reached out to for comment, but no responses have been received as of publication.
Stamos’ interview with USA TODAY also touches on other personal topics. He opens up about his divorce from actress Rebecca Romijn and discusses his childhood sexual assault. Despite these challenges, Stamos remains optimistic about entering his 60s and recently celebrated “the other side of 60” with a revealing Instagram post.
As fans eagerly anticipate Stamos’ memoir and continue to enjoy his new series, “Big Shot,” it’s clear that the legacy of “Full House” and its beloved characters continue to capture the hearts of audiences worldwide.
