Full House Creator Jeff Franklin Speaks Out After Show Exit

The TV producer is breaking his silence after being ousted from the Netflix series.

Sharing a photo of himself with Fuller House leads Andrea Barber, Cameron Candace Bure, and Jodie Sweetin, Full House creator Jeff Franklin publicly reacted to the news that he'd been booted from their streaming series. "I'm heartbroken to be leaving Fuller House," Franklin, 63, began. "Creating and running Full House and Fuller House has been the greatest joy."

He continued, "I wish the cast, my second family for over 30 years, continued success. I'm so proud of all we accomplished together, and beyond grateful to our loyal fans."

Signing off, Franklin added, "Adios Tanneritos!"

As Nicki Swift previously reported, Warner Bros. TV announced that they would no longer be working with Franklin on future seasons of Fuller House. According to Variety, Franklin had previously been accused of being verbally abusive and of making sexually inappropriate comments to employees. However, he reportedly has not been formally accused of sexual harassment.

The publication noted that studio execs had allegedly received an anonymous letter years earlier, in which Franklin was called "a walking lawsuit waiting to happen." An insider also told Variety that Franklin reportedly had a habit of casting women he dated in small roles on the show.
