Bob Saget and the Olsen twins
On March 17, 2021, a video titled "Inside Bob Saget's inappropriate relationship with the Olsen twins" was posted online.
The 24-minute clip contained footage of Bob's Comedy Central roast in 2008, where celebrities were challenged to make fun of him.
The video included excerpts from Gilbert Gottfried's segment where he joked about Bob's relationship with the Olsen twins.
And with information taken out of context, many fans took to Twitter to 'cancel' the '90s actor as a host of false accusations were made against him.
These include claims made in the video that Saget was responsible for the Olsen twins' absence from Netflix's 2016 sequel to Full House, despite previous evidence from the producers proving otherwise.
The pair were the only two original cast members missing from the reboot after actors like Candace Cameron Bure and John Phillip Stamos returned to the small screen.
Despite false claims of the series made in the video, Bob and the Olsen twins reportedly shared a close bond.
The trio often performed together in the years after the show's 1995 conclusion as Bob supported his acting career.
Speaking in an interview in February 2021, Bob revealed that he kept in regular contact with the twins and his co-stars.
"Whoever I was with at the time, like my own children," he said.
“Ashley and Mary-Kate, I love you so much. When I'm in New York or when they're here, when we can, we'll see each other
In 2016, it was confirmed that the Olsen twins would not reprise their role in the Netflix sequel Fuller House.
Producer Bob Boyett told People magazine that attempts were made to bring either Ashley or Mary-Kate on the show, but both ultimately turned down.
"I haven't been in front of a camera since I was 17 and I don't feel comfortable acting." Mary-Kate said during the approach.
