John Stamos Makes Raw Confession, Babysitter Sexually Abused Him

Former "Full Star" actor John Stamos is opening up about his past, including how his babysitter would sexually abuse him.

In order to get her to stop, the now 60-year-old admitted he would "play dead".

In his debut memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me”, which will be out on October 24, the 60-year-old actor opened up about his addiction to alcohol, and, for the first time, admits he was a victim of sexual assault.

“I remembered it slightly,” the actor told People in regard to the sexual assault. “It has always been there, but I packed it away as people do, right?”

Stamos admitted that at the time, he didn't tell anyone because, "I think I told myself, like, 'Ah, it's girls, man.'"

"It was like you're playing dead so they'll stop. But it wasn't totally aggressive," he recalled of the unfortunate events. "I don't know, it was not good."

The moment the "Full House" alum thought about opening up about that traumatic time in his life was when he received for his advocacy for abused children. "I started to write it, and that's when it really came out," he recalls.

But then he changed his mind, explaining, "And then I thought, 'No, tonight is not about me. It's about the kids. I'm going to pack it away again until the right moment. Otherwise, I'm a phony f---. It's like, 'Come on.'"

The right moment is now -- as he opens up for the first time in his memoir, however, he does not go on and on about that time in his life because, although he felt he needed to talk about it, he did not want that to be the focus of the book.

"I didn't want the headlines to be that, and I didn't want the book to be over that," he explained. "It was a page or something, but I felt I had to talk about it. It was weird. It was something that, I think, I was probably like 10 or 11 [when it happened]. I shouldn't have had to deal with those feelings."

John Stamos battled alcohol addiction for years, which even led to him getting a DUI in 2015, which made headlines. That DUI was his breaking point.

“I had that DUI and I was like, ‘I can’t do this. I’ve got to straighten up,'” Stamos said, per our previous report. “That’s when I was confusing the universe because I’m not a bad person, but I was doing crappy things.”

One year after he had the DUI, he opened up about how much he “regretted” it.“It was really stupid and ignorant of me,” the actor said at the time. “And I hated myself for that. It was a bad, bad thing. So I said to myself, I have to stop this up and down, up and down, I have to.”

Stamos then entered rehab, which he admits was “dark for a little bit,” but “it started to get better”. As he went through rehab, he said he “made a lot of really good friends” which helped him get clean. “I had a lot waiting for me, and I feel bad because a lot of people don’t, because they burned their lives down,” he claimed. “Luckily, I had my sisters, but I also had ‘Fuller House’. I got home and I think like a week later, we started ‘Fuller House’.”

John Stamos’s memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me” is available for pre-order. It will be released on October 24.
