On Jan. 9, famous actor and comedian Bob Saget died in his hotel room after one of his shows in The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, in Florida.

Saget was known for his iconic role in the 90s sitcom “Full House” as the dad, Danny Tanner. The show ran for eight seasons along with getting a Netflix spin off called “Fuller House.”

Many fans were devastated by the news of Saget’s passing. At only 65 years old, his death came as a shock and was heartbreaking for co-stars and fans alike.

Many of Saget’s co-stars on “Full House” posted memorials on their Instagram feeds commemorating the life that they shared with him.

Jodie Sweetin, who played the part of Stephanie Tanner, said Saget was a good person, despite everything that had happened in his life.

“He was a genuinely kind spirit who made it through so much in his life, and he was most happy when he was helping others,” Sweetin said. “I would always say ‘you’re the best TV dad ever’ and he was.”

But, despite how much joy he brought to a lot of the world through the roles that he played, Saget also had allegations of sexual assault and pedophilia that got released.

Though it was never confirmed from a source or any evidence released backing the claims, many people believe that Saget was involved in pedophilia regarding the Olsen twins during their time on “Full House.”

Despite these allegations, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a statement after his death where they said he was a great person during his life.

“Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man,” the Olsen’s said. “We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us, but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has” (CNN).
