What did Jerry O’Connell say?

Referring to Stamos’s inclusion of stories about Romijn in the memoir, O’Connell said they were “a little scary.”

He further added in the interview that if he and the ‘X-Men’ actress were to separate in the future and he were to write a tell-all memoir, he would give her a heads up in the writing. 

'It’s not really my place to say [anything]'

John Stamos' view on Rebecca Romijn

Per Page Six, Stamos accused Romijn of infidelity during their marriage and wrote, “Betrayal starts as a sinking feeling in your stomach, grows into a suspicion that clouds your every thought, and by the time you find out the truth, it’s uniquely horrible at first but also expected, like you’ve been waiting for something bad to happen.”

The 'Full House' actor and Romijn got married in 1998, and after a tumultuous relationship got divorced in 2005.

Stamos later found love with Caitlin McHugh whom he married in 2018. The couple welcomed a son named Billy two months after their marriage. Romijn, on the other hand, married O'Connell in 2007 and the couple went on to welcome their twin daughters - Charlie and and Dolly, 14.

While promoting his book in October, Stamos further said to PEOPLE, "In my mind back then, she was the devil, and I just hated her. I couldn't believe how much I hated her, and it ruined my life."
