“Full House” stars call out Danny's favoritism for youngest daughter: 'Michelle was a tyrant'

If you thought the character of Michelle Tanner got annoying in later seasons on Full House, well, stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber might agree with you — and they have their own theories about why.

In a new "minisode" of their podcast How Rude, Tanneritos!, the duo — who played Stephanie Tanner and family friend Kimmy Gibbler on the beloved sitcom, respectively — took to Reddit to see what Full House fans truly think about the show, and found a list of "unpopular opinions" to unpack.

Right off the bat, Barber stated, "The first one is, 'After season 2, Michelle got extremely annoying and wanted everything to revolve around her.'" Immediately, both stars laughed and Barber pondered aloud, "Is that unpopular? That’s just factual," to which Sweetin added, "Yeah, that's just facts."

But, Michelle, the youngest of Danny Tanner's (the late Bob Saget) three daughters (played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), is not to blame, they believe. "I mean, she's a product of Danny Tanner and his favoritism. So I don't know if I blame Michelle," Barber pointed out.

"True, and she's left alone so much. What sort of role model [does she have]?" Sweetin added. "She's like, of course, I want everything to revolve around me because no one's ever here. She’s doing her own thing."

So, when it comes to this particular "unpopular" opinion, Sweetin and Barber agreed with the fans, though Barber said she felt the character becomes more annoying in later seasons of the show.

"I think it's the later later seasons too where it just becomes all about Michelle and it's Michelle's way or the highway," Barber admitted. "And Danny does have some very unfair moments where he's favoring Michelle over his other daughters."

The two agreed, and once again cited the parenting as the reason for Michelle's tendencies, before moving on to other fan opinions. By the end of the episode, the two stars found that they actually agreed with a lot of the fans' so-called "unpopular" views.

"I'm gonna say that they're mostly on point," Sweetin said, and Barber added, "I don't see anything wrong with most of these. I think they bring up valid points."

Sweetin then cited particular viewpoints she agreed with, starting with the aforementioned Michelle complaint, which she summed up by saying simply, "Michelle was a tyrant."

Don't come for them, though, Full House fans. "Don't send us hate emails or tell us that we're wrong. Go yell at someone on Reddit about it," Sweetin joked. The two reiterated how loved the show still is today, including by them.

Barber concluded, "We love the show, but we like to also point out its flaws because that's what we do. That's the whole point is to unpack the episodes. That's what we're doing."
