Jodie Sweetin Says She's Totally Sober

Karl Erikson — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:03:00 GMT

For the first time, former "Full House" star Jodie Sweetin is talking about the allegations her estranged husband made against her. Cody Herpin has said that Jodi has picked up the drugs again, and the issue has come up in court because custody of their daughter, Zoie, is at stake.

"There are a lot of things being said about my using that are not going on right now," says Jodie. "I want to make it known that I am absolutely, 100 percent sober."

Jodie, 26, is a recovering alcoholic and meth addict. She admits that she had several glasses of wine over the summer, but "I immediately called other people who are in recovery." She's in a 12-step program. "Any slip for me is not good, but I didn't let it stall my progress. I could have just not said anything and brushed it under the rug. But that doesn't help me make different choices in the future. Zoie comes first for me, as well as my sobriety."

According to husband Cody, however, she's had far more than just the one fall off the wagon. "She has continuously broken her sobriety since Zoie was born," he says. He's filed for sole custody. "I'm worried about Zoie."

Last month, a judge ruled that the couple would share custody of Zoie for now. Jodie's custodial time is happening at her parents' house, where she's living at the moment. Otherwise, one of her parents must be present when trading custody of the baby.

A psychiatrist of the court said that she doesn't think Jodie poses a threat to Zoie, and both Jodie and Cody have to get drug tested before the next hearing February 9.

The divorce is pending. Jodie says the reasons are private, saying "It's been difficult." But Cody says he has no idea why she filed for divorce. "She never even told me," he says. "I had to find out from her attorney. To this day, I still have no idea why."

Jodie Sweetin Wants to Avoid Custody Battle

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:31:00 GMT

Former "Full House" star Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin are splitting and Jodie's lawyer says the couple "are working hard to avoid a protracted custody battle." They attended their first joint mediation session this week in Orange County, CA.

"They're trying to work things out regarding the sharing of their child," lawyer Wilma Presley says. "As far as reconciliation as a couple goes, in family law, you just never know."

She also says that Jodie, 26, is doing well, had a great holiday, and had her daughter, Zoie, on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Both parents are playing well with the child sharing.

Last month, a judge ruled that custody over Zoie (9 months) is to be shared 50-50. Cody made accusations that Jodie was abusing drugs again - she is a recovering alcoholic and meth addict. And while Jodie admitted to having a couple of glasses of wine, she says she is NOT doing meth again.

The next hearing is set for February 9.

A doctor who testified in court Tuesday, said Jodie has fallen off the wagon but that she is in touch with her AA sponser and attending meetings. He doesn't believe the baby is in any immediate danger. Both Cody and Jodie will have to submit to drug tests before the next hearing.

Earlier in the day, Sweetin was under emergency investigation by an Orange County, Calif. family court after her husband made allegations about his wife driving drunk with baby Zoie. Herpin's lawyer said, "It's primarily alcohol [abuse] but there's also concern regarding methamphetamines."

The couple legally separated on Nov. 19, seeking joint custoday of Zoie.

New mom Jodie Sweetin is splitting with her husband of 16 months, Cody Herpin. The ex "Full House" star once said that Cody was a "blessing" who turned her life around after years of meth addiction. Wednesday, she filed separation papers in California. The couple are brand new parents to daughter Zoie, born in April.

Cody told People magazine, "I was dumbfounded. Over this past month something has been different. I'm concerned about our daughter and I just want Zoie home." Jodie left the house with Zoie recently.

Stella Alex, Jodie's agent, says that Jodie is "absolutely clean" and that the couple have "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, because she says she doesn't want to be disrespectful to him."

The separation papers show that Jodie wants joint legal and physical custody of Zoie. The reason, of course, is shown as "irreconcilable differences."
