Jodie Sweetin Says Mary-Kate and Ashley Didn't Return for “Fuller House” Because 'This Isn't What They Love'
Key Points:
- Jodie Sweetin revealed that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen chose not to return to Fuller House because they are focused on their luxury fashion label, The Row, rather than acting.
- The Olsen twins, who played Michelle Tanner on Full House, retired from acting over a decade ago and prefer to avoid public attention after growing up in the spotlight.
- Fuller House addressed their absence humorously in the first episode by mentioning Michelle running a fashion empire in New York.
- Sweetin emphasized that the twins have a different relationship with acting and being on set, as they were very young during Full House and now prioritize their fashion careers.
- Despite not returning to the show, Sweetin noted that everyone remains on good terms and understands the Olsen twins’ desire for privacy and a life away from the public eye.
