John Stamos criticised for wearing bald cap in support of Dave Coulier’s cancer diagnosis

John Stamos faces backlash for donning a bald cap to support ‘Full House’ co-star Dave Coulier.

John Stamos is under fire after wearing a bald cap in a gesture of "solidarity" with his former Full House co-star Dave Coulier, who recently revealed his cancer diagnosis.

Stamos shared the act on social media, intending to show support for Coulier, but the move was met with mixed reactions. Critics have labelled the gesture as tone-deaf, while others defended the actor's intentions as heartfelt and supportive.

Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone, disclosed his diagnosis publicly earlier this month, prompting an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues. While the bald cap aimed to symbolise unity, many questioned its appropriateness.

The controversy has sparked broader discussions about celebrity gestures of solidarity and how they are perceived in public discourse.
