Olsen Twins: The Dark Side of Full House | Deep Dive 

That “Ashley swallows” joke was wildly inappropriate even in a roast setting. She was a toddler, pedophilia is not nor ever will be an acceptable topic to joke about. Hollywood is sick

I’m sorry “unattractive red headed kids” so strange wtf

The fact that John Stamos called the red-headed babies "unattractive" is just weird and disrespectful. I hope those kids saw that when they got older. Its so sad that these child actors were never really protected

I remember being a child in the 90s thinking they had the perfect life and they were so lucky to be in the spotlight. Now as an adult, I see that their childhood was robbed by their own parents. I hope they have finally found peace now.

How is everyone so nonchalantly pedophilic?! And nobody pointed it out, and fixed things for the poor girls??

The sexual innuendos that interviewers said to them was so inappropriate.. they nervously laughed it off.. they were children! My heart sincerely goes out to the Olsen’s.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the twins developed an eating disorder with Mary Kate having to go to a treatment facility. That’s definitely a cry for help.

Interesting that the mom doesn't want to be in the spotlight, but she put her children in the spotlight without their consent.

"It's easier for us if the parents weren't there" It's so disgusting to see this girls' whole childhoods thrown away because it's simple "easier" for the production to use them like things

the way bob was so comfortable telling the story about the fake baby so many times PUBLICLY…despicable 🙁

The roasting of Bob Saget, with the sexual jokes, and everyone laughing in the audience is despicable. Sexual jokes with regard to underage children is NEVER okay. Everyone in that audience needs a backbone along with some morals to stand up for what’s right, and not go along with such gross narrative.

"breaks the fantasy" if the child sees a parent. Let that sink in.

I love how the dad talks about getting mad about boys calling the house, meanwhile they're just offering up their babies/toddlers to adult strangers for money. Your priorities are stellar, guy.

As a child, I thought they had the perfect life. As a grown woman with kids, I realize how their upbringing was a nightmare. I think of them often and pray they’re doing well.

the reason he talks so openly about the doll is because he wants us to focus on what we already knew and not all the other things he did

"And remember, we're legal in four weeks." Wow, the girls were seriously groomed...

I have zero respect for their parents. Anyone who would just hand their infant over to be raised by producers and actors on a television show are emotionally negligent at best. Children shouldn’t be allowed in Hollywood or in movies.

I was one of the children that absolutely adored the Mary Kate & Ashley “brand” so to speak. Every VHS they released, my mom bought. Every bit of merchandise my mom could afford, she got for me. Now that I’m an adult in my mid-20s, it’s horrifying to see the cost of what that brand actually was. Yes, they took control of their own brand and empire, but they lost their entire childhood to creeps and adults preying on them. What a mess.

The fact he felt ok enough to discuss what he did with the doll is so DISTURBING

Watching this now makes SOOOO much sense as to why they didn’t appear for Fuller House and dropped acting all together. Good for them ❤

Those interviews were so disgusting. Imagine a grown man and woman asking two YOUNG GIRLS their preference in “men” or about their “dating life” or if they had their first kiss yet. Getting through that part was miserably shocking. They deserved better.

It never ceases to amaze me how rampant inappropriate behavior with minors has been in Hollywood for so long. And they just paraded it in front of everyone’s faces too. How did anyone ever think this was okay?? I feel so bad for the Olsens and all child stars who have to deal with these things. I’m glad they’re out of that world now.

Having the twins talk about grown men is absolutely DISTURBING 😢😢😢😢

Kicking a stay at home mom off the set is extremely sick and there's no ethical reason to do it. Human trafficking and child labor

Any normal parent would have taken their child off the set forever after seeing what Bob Saget did with the doll.

Just listening to the way those men talked about the Olsen twins is just so disturbing and disgusting. Poor girls.

Bob Saget's jokes are absolutely vile. Imagine thinking it's acceptable to make a sexual joke about a 4 year old???

“Unattractive red headed kids” what a gross thing to say

Everything presented in this video is exactly why I wasn’t mad at them for deciding not to come back to the Fuller House reunion. They deserve peace, and to live their life exactly the way they are doing now. They deserved to be in control for once. The way the old men talked about them is so gross, can’t even imagine how they felt throughout the years. I’m happy they chose to live their life behind the spotlight. Edit: I’m in no way, shape or form trying to imply that I would’ve been mad at them had their situation been different, or for their choices- at the end of the day, they don’t owe anyone anything and they are allowed to want to do whatever they want with their life. I was more so referencing those who were. I never thought it was fair that a lot of people were hating on them for deciding not to come back, and I’m saying that- although they don’t owe me anything, and I literally don’t matter in any of this- I wasn’t mad and could understand and respect their decision. Forgive me for not wording it differently, that is all

As a mother to a young toddler (under 2) I can't imagine agreeing to leaving my infant(s) like that. I was a HUGE fan of these girls growing up but now my heart just breaks for them.

Now we know why they didn’t come back to fuller house

That Regis interview was incredibly disturbing. The twins looked so uncomfortable throughout the whole thing

Their mom wanted to be out of the public eye, but she never gave her daughters that option. Smh.

This is heartbreaking and makes me look at them in an entirely different light. I hope they’re both living their best lives NOT acting.

This is sad on so many levels. Their own father living off their wealth is disgusting. Paying them a paltry allowance and their siblings with their money. Family are the ones that aren’t meant to screw you over!! 🤬

Haven’t finished the video yet but, I remeber going to watch the first episode of full house and there’s a scene where after Jesse finished changing Michelle he says “I was changing Michelle but started to get a tingly feeling” and then Joey steps in and says “that’s when I took Michelle from him” I never watched another episode of it again.

The mom is a manipulative liar. She called walking into an agency with photos "a fluke." Then when they got a call to audition she said "I had no idea they were producers." Where else would a talent agent send you? And it's clear she put that lie into their heads bc the girls bought the story bc they repeated it in interviews.

I mean, when one of them ended up having anorexia and the other depressive, it kinda says a lot about what they went through... and when you look at it, the amount of child actors in the 90s and 2000s who turned out having REAL bad lifestyles (drug abuse, alcoholism, violence, etc), these are always symptoms of something really big that happened "behind the scenes" in Hollywood itself.

I can't imagine any parent that would leave their child on a set without a parent. Horrible.

This is why Ashley ended up having a 58 year old boyfriend 🥴

I simply cannot believe that Bob Saget's behavior was encouraged and recieved as a joke on the twins behalf... the fact that no one will ever really know what happened, not even the twins themselves... what a nightmare, to know you were most likely abused and yet can't prove it... or disprove it. I'm very glad they included some Alyson Stoner footage. She's a great guide to the inside world of Child Hollywood

If your child is on set, as a parent it is your duty to be wherever you child is. If you can’t do that, if the studio won’t let you do that, then you walk away from the show. Also I love how the mom likes to stay out of the public eye. What about what her daughters wanted? Clearly they didn’t enjoy being in the public eye. What about them? And the dad is just going on and on about money. Maybe focus on your daughters’ well-being.

I love how the mom is considered a distraction problem. You’ve got to be kidding me.

I had no idea about all this. It’s so sad that they had to live through the horrific things. I’ve been watching this since I was kid. What Bob Saget did was disgusting and the fact that they sat there laughing about is truly sickening as if it was some joke. I’m glad that they’re doing what they love doing now. I’ve seen so many of these celebrities come out decades later about what actually happened in the industry. It’s truly heartbreaking to see any person go through this stuff.

I am SO disturbed by the Bob issue, especially the roast comments, “Ashley swallows..” who the hell says things like that about little kids?! How they distanced from every one makes me wonder what might have really gone on.

I don’t buy that their mom “didn’t really want it” as far as the fame of the Olsen twins goes… any parent could see that they were over worked… they sold their daughters’ childhood.

I felt uncomfortable every time they broke out into laughter when Bob Saget was retelling the story of him defiling the doll...

Is anyone else hearing a lot static when certain interviews play?

As a child, I followed their career because they were around my age and I thought "Oh cool" and honestly, I do love them. I hope they living their best lives.

OF COURSE Stamos talks about the babies as UNATTRACTIVE. A physical, beauty descriptor; NOT fussy or inexperienced or uncooperative or small or chubby or ANY other words people might use when describing a child/baby. UNATTRACTIVE. It's so ingrained in the Hollywood mentality to describe people in relation to beauty and SEX APPEAL. Speaks volumes.

the fact Bob laughs at the roasts they must be true

Holy crap, those jokes at the twins expense! “Ashley swallows”. How absolutely horrible. They were kids!

These girls were basically trafficked to the sitcom industry. "How do yo tell them apart." Bob Saget's response is too disturbing to repeat

The fact that they can’t even get the story straight as to how they got into “show business” 🙄🙄 John Stamos tried to get the girls fired as babies because they wouldn’t stop crying but that lady said they were the calmest babies she’d ever worked with on set 🤨 So many inconsistencies. You gotta wonder who is being honest about stuff if anyone.

So disturbing and sad. We live in such a sick world.

I always thought real life Bob Sagat was creepy and trying hard to be funny but he seemed so beloved which was confusing.

Saget’s passing doesn’t excuse the terrible things he did while living

How many uncomfortable giggles do those poor girls have to make during that Regis interview? Fucking trash ass predators. Thank you for broadcasting this. When everyone was mourning Bob Sagget I couldn't help but have a myriad of snarky responses to these "America's Dad" statements.

the way my mouth was just dropped open almost the entire ending.

The Regis Philbin interview was uncomfortable. Their laughs were so awkward. Crazy!

These two are the exact reason my mom refused to let me get into acting. She knew she couldn’t stop whatever happened behind the scenes but also knew, she wouldn’t let it happen. So, she didn’t! I’m sorry MK & Ash 💖💔

The thing that is so disgusting about the Bob Sagat thing is the way he was praised an encouraged everywhere he went to tell that gross story. Like even he seemed uncomfortable.

Yikes. It's disgusting how the Olsen twins were exploited and objectified. No wonder they stepped out of the spotlight. And in what universe is it okay to make pedophilia jokes?!

That was way creepier than I expected.

Being a kid when full house was on it never occurred to me how the Olsen twins were treated. You’ve opened my eyes. As a parent now myself I couldn’t imagine just letting my kids go on a show set without me to overlook them. I understand now why they didn’t go on the remake

The most disturbing comment was Jeff Garlin saying, "Ashley swallows." How grotesque to grow up with men who make inappropriate comments like that about you and then have it plastered in the media for everyone to watch. Incredibly objectifying. Incredibly humiliating. I feel so bad that they had to go through that.

Its really weird that like. It was obvious that 22 year old actor was NOT comfortable kissing a minor, and the girls were equally uncomfortable about it but everyone just made them all do it anyway. They even lied to the girls about his age, and made the guy lie to them as well??? He and the girls shouldnt have even BEEN in that situation its disgusting.

After watching this, it is no longer they didn't sign on for Fuller House. Good for them!

The questions Regis asked them was absolutely appalling. They are children. What a disgusting ma.

Omg I’m so disgusted by bob.. he seemed so proud of everything he did. 🤮 The interviewers were also so disgusting asking little girls those questions.

I just looked up their net worth and it’s only $200mill each which is INSANE considering they should be billionaires with just what they made in their childhoods, not even considering their adult money.

As a parent of those kids, I wouldn’t just disappear, I’d be there looking from afar. Screw that.

The part where Bob was talking about the rubber doll deal was really creepy!!!

My heart started racing so fast watching this. It’s unbelievable what everyone allowed to happen, everyone failed them.

It’s crazy him admitting this and knowing Bob has daughters .

the silent interviews make me want to gauge my eyes and hair out

These girls worked harder than their parents x10. They set their family up for life! The exhausted themselves and sacrificed their childhood.. Yet their father made them do chores in order to get $200 a month at age 17? That is absolutely disgusting!

The parents both saying it was a “fluke” really sounds like their way to wipe their hands of all the fucked up shit that went down. I just find it odd that the mom was seemingly so reluctant yet Idk anyone who just happened to take their babies to a talent agent? You’re told you can’t be around them in their most formative years but you still allow it? There’s just no way that you can be both reluctant to them becoming successful actors and oblivious to the exploitation. Especially how much they worked. No, I think they created that story to seem like down to earth parents that weren’t after the money. Bob Saget’s roast was absolutely disgusting. It’s supposed to be a roast on Bob, why the fuck were they making jokes sexualizing minors when MK and Ashley had no part in the roast? So gross. Thanks for another great deep dive! I grew up consuming all the Olsen Twins movies and bought a lot of their merch. It makes me so sad knowing how exploited they were. Especially how disgustingly sexualized they were all through their childhood. I hope so much that they are happy and well.

I grew up watching the Olsen Twins and loved their shows but now i see that they didn't have much of a life. So sad.

“dad has it in a trust” yeah more like dads paying his bills and buying himself a sports car while we have to do chores to get our own money we already did work for.

I almost feel bad that I didn't feel bad when Bob Saget passed. I couldn't even read a headline of celebrities making statements of what a great guy he was and how funny he was. He was a vile man! His comedy was always disgusting. I get some people only knew him from Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos but all these celebrities knew what he was like.

Those poor girls. Everyone is at fault for exploiting them like this, even their parents. I don’t buy for one minute the whole “our mom wasn’t a stage mom” thing. No normal person with a warm beating heart would let their 9 month old babies be ripped from them and then LEAVE her babies on the set when asked to. Disgusting

I’ve been consuming so much of your guys content the last few days, it’s so interesting 😭

Their movies were always so weird because the twins were already extremely young looking and they had guys that looked 25 approaching them as love interests in the movies. It wasn't even remotely realistic.

Them and I are around the same age. I HATED when I was in high school and the media was always talking about how they were about to turn 18 implying they were going to be of legal age for sexual consent...so creepy and gross. They did the same thing to Lindsay lohan

The fact that he talks about so freely like it’s ok. It’s super disturbing. Poor girls. I can’t bear to think what they experienced. That whole world is demonic.

That's absolutely evil and vile. Anyone who laughed at it should have been jailed. It's the bystanders that make wickedness like this possible.

Question: If a 22 year old man came onto school grounds and was caught kissing a 14 year old girl, would the police be called immediately? Why was the same behaviour condoned in a workplace, under the guise of making a "movie" and police were not called immediately to arrest all of the adults on set?

The way they looked at each other when their dad said how much allowance they get a month, clearly shows that was a lie.

This definitely needs a part 2!!!

My favourite part of this video is the long silent parts. Learned a lot from those! ❤

How do people sit back and LAUGH at sexual jokes about Kids?? Yet it’s always called a conspiracy theory when rumors about abuse to children from the Hollywood elite surface. That is PROOF that not only does it EXIST but it’s accepted and “funny”. I look at all of them so differently now and I see why they ( Mary and Ashley) didn’t come back for the reboot. Good for them.

What’s really sad is that you can see Mary-Kate’s eating disorder started early in her life

My God daughter is a very beautiful, bright and smart little girl. We can’t go anywhere without people coming up to us and saying how cute she is. With that being said I signed her up for modeling and everything was going great she got quite a few modeling gigs, then she ended up getting an opportunity with a very large well known brand. When I took her to her first meetup the woman who was assisting us told me I can stay in the room while they took her to another room with other workers who were going to get her dressed for a few different photos. I told the woman I would prefer to come with her seeing that this was her first time being in this place and she didn’t know anyone. The woman refused and gave me long sob excuses of it causes distractions. I said ok and set in the room. It was something in my spirit that just didn’t sit right with me. The thought of strangers undressing my daughter and I couldn’t be in there to observe anything. Who knows what could’ve happened. We all hear about the crazy, weird, perverted things that happens in the Industry. After about 10 mins of sitting in the room I went and asked them to bring my daughter out, we were leaving. The lady was so upset and annoyed with me. I didn’t care. I turned down one of the biggest opportunities we will probably ever have, but no amount of money is worth something happening to my daughter.

Child labor laws may have changed, but twins have been used for single roles - like Tabitha on Bewitched and Carrie on Little House on the Prairie - for years. Here's an interesting tidbit about the Murphy twins of Bewitched. Erin, who eventually took the role herself, loved being on the set, while Diane hated it. When it was time to "switch" the twins, they would often just bring Erin off the set and bring her back on immediately after, pretending they were bringing Diane on. Also, Erin and Diane were noticeably different in appearance, and Diane was often used only for distance and back shots. ETA: The rubber doll story and those jokes were sick, but I'm glad Bob cared enough to change a dirty diaper, rather than leave the poor child in that messy, uncomfortable situation. There's no reason why men can't change diapers. I really don't think Bob was trying to be lewd or inappropriate in this case; he was genuinely trying to make the child more comfortable.

Dude John Stamos trying to fire the babies for being babies and then rejecting their replacements (literal children) for being “ugly” left such a bad taste in my mouth. I had a pretty neutral view of him before, and now im just grossed out

The media made out that Bob Saget was an angel in the industry after his passing......This doco was an eye opener!!

You can tell they always felt uncomfortable in interviews. They were just regular kids

What is adult interviewers’ obsession with pressuring and goading kids into talking about crushes and kissing? Like that guy asking if they messed up the kiss on purpose so they had to keep reshooting it. They are children.
