Teri Copley is slamming one “Full House” star with her full story.
The 62-year-old actress is speaking out after her ex John Stamos claimed that she cheated on him with Tony Danza in his New York Times best selling memoir “If You Would Have Told Me.”
Two weeks ago, Copley refuted Stamos’ accusations that their relationship ended when he caught her in bed with Danza, 72 while they were dating in the 1980s.
In a new 19-minute video on YouTube, Copley is setting the record straight, revealing that she “left” Stamos after his mother revealed that he had “no intention” to ever marry her.
‘Prior to meeting John Stamos, I had dated Tony Danza for about a year and a half,” Copley explained. “We broke up, then I had a hairdresser, like John said in his book,’ she said, explaining that she and Stamos shared the same hairdresser. After mentioning she thought he was “cute,” Stamos gave her a call.
‘He ended up calling me on the set and we went out and just… just hit it off, like… just hit it off. We went together for about a year. John told me he loved me at about eight months into the relationship. I’m a girl. I remember that very clearly because I was waiting and waiting for him to tell me that he loved me, because I didn’t know if he did and we were inseparable,’ Copley explained.
Things seemed to be heading in the right direction and Copley was introduced to Stamos’ parents, but shortly after spending time at their home, his mother Loretta called the model and shattered her dreams of living happily ever after with the heartthrob.
She said, “Teri, I know that you love John, but don’t plan on marrying him because he has no intention of marrying you.” Copley added: “I remember it like it was yesterday. [I] thought that John told her that, and she was a mother looking at me like a daughter type and thinking, ‘I better warn this girl not to get her hopes up.’”
After the alleged warning, Copley felt she had no other choice but to break up with Stamos.
“I don’t think we should see each other anymore,” she told a stunned Stamos after driving to his house. And when he asked, “Why?” she said, “I just don’t think we should.”
She added, “It was my fault, I was young. I didn’t know how to communicate with him to tell him” what his mother had told her. “I left him like that. [I] lived with that regret and I didn’t give him any understanding, but I was hurt and I was mad.”
The incident with Danza would occur “three or four days later,” but what happened, Copley explains, is much different than what Stamos claimed in his book.
In his memoir, Stamos claimed that he drove to her house, where he saw a black 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster in the driveway.
“The blinds are closed, but the door is slightly open,” Stamos recalled in his book. “I take a peek inside and see four feet protruding from the shabby-chic, floral-print duvet that once kept me warm. My Tiny Dancer is in bed with Mr. Porsche Speedster.”
According to Copley, Stamos knocked on her door while Danza’s car was parked outside, and she answered the door “fully dressed.”
“[He] just shook his head and looked at me like, ‘How could you?’ Well I looked at him and didn’t say anything either,” she said. “I just looked at him like, ‘What do you care?’”
“He certainly didn’t come in my house and find me in bed naked with a sheet over,” she added. “I mean none of that happened.”
Years later Copley was finally able to set the record straight about the infamous day when she and Stamos rekindled their relationship after his divorce from Rebecca Romijn.
“I wanted to because I’d grown up a little bit and I wanted to tell him what happened. And so I went to his house and I sat down and I said, ‘John, did you know that your mother called me and told me that you would never marry me?’”
“And he looked at me and he said, ‘I didn’t know that, Teri.’ He said, ‘I would have married you. I was madly in love with you.’”
After that conversation, Copley says they shared a “mutual friendship and love as friends,” which ended after the release of his book and his claims of her infidelity.
“Seeing him carelessly throw me out there like a dirty dish rag for people to just make fun of” and “make all these assumptions” was “very hurtful and surprising to me. That’s not the John that I ever knew.”
