John Stamos reveals he was kicked out of Scientology orientation for ‘f–king around’ with ‘spiritual’ device

John Stamos revealed he was booted from a Scientology orientation after fooling around with one of the church’s “spiritual” devices.
The “Full House” star said in a new interview that he was taking acting classes at age 17 when he met a “hot girl” who was involved in the organization.
“I was working at my dad’s restaurant at the time, and I said, ‘Dad, I gotta go.’ So, I went and it was the Scientology building,” he remembered.
After entering the building, Stamos learned about a device called an “E-Meter,” which the church’s website states can identify “areas of spiritual distress” within its members.
The actor seized the opportunity to play with the machinery and pretended to hold it like a phone in front of everyone.
“I was doing a Peabody and Sherman [impression], and they didn’t like that. Then, I was just f–king around so much, they said, ‘Get out, get going!’ They just kicked me out,” he confessed.
Stamos laughed and joked that his behavior must have been “pretty bad” and “terrible” for the controversial org to not accept him.
Just two years later, Stamos began to rise to fame with a role in the soap opera “General Hospital” before starring as Uncle Jesse in “Full House.”
He previously discussed his brief experience with Scientology in his 2023 memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me,” while detailing the introductory session.
“[Someone] begins to question me about committing crimes, asks if I have negative thoughts about Scientology or L. Ron Hubbard (the founder) and probes into some strange sex inquiries,” he claimed.
The “Top Gun” star’s beliefs have taken a toll on his relationship with his 18-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, whom he has not seen in more than 10 years .
