Update: (Nov. 19, 2024): John Stamos is all good in the eyes of his Full House co-star Dave Coulier.
Defending Stamos against the criticism received this morning for rocking a bald cap in support of his longtime friend, who recently revealed he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer, Coulier wrote,
“It’s our friendship (me and John) and this is how we are handling a very tough time. I’m a comedian and humor is what drives me. John knows how to cheer me up and I laughed out loud when he arrived wearing a bald cap – being a true loving friend and brother.”

Social media users have been criticizing the actor for posting a photo of himself wearing a bald cap “in solidarity” with his “Full House” co-star Dave Coulier, who recently revealed his stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer diagnosis.
Stamos wrote as a caption to the images:
“Nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some Photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my bro @dcoulier You’re handling this with so much strength and positivity—it’s inspiring. I know you’re going to get through this, and I’m proud to stand with you every step of the way. I love you”

Though some defended Stamos, critics suggested the moment seemed shallow and insincere.
Coulier is undergoing chemotherapy treatment and has stated he’s in the 90% “curable” range, according to TMZ.
