Bob Saget is speaking up about his "Full House" co-star Lori Loughlin, who was involved in the college admissions scandal that made headlines this year.
In an interview with Fox News, the actor/comedian, 63, said he doesn't "cut people out" who have been in his life for years.
“I love the people I love, and people go through life, and stuff happens,” he said. “For a while, I was saying, 'No comment,' and now there’s just no point in talking about it because I’ve answered it. What I would say is, I love the people I love, and I have empathy for people that are in my life for 35 years. I don’t cut people out.”
In April, Saget kept his comments to a minimum when asked about Loughlin during an appearance on the "Today" show.
"I think I'm underqualified," Saget began to answer before being asked whether he'd talked to Loughlin. "Well, uh, we go by carrier pigeon, but I will say that I love her, and I will say... no comment.

"It's a personal thing," he added. "It's a strange time, and what do you say?"
Saget broke his silence on the charges against Loughlin a month earlier, voicing his vague support for her to TMZ.
Saget, who said he wasn't in the habit of doing man-on-the-street interviews, wouldn't say whether Loughlin thought she deserved jail time if convicted. But he did echo what co-star Candace Cameron Bure said earlier in April.
"I just love who I love," Saget told the outlet. "Candace said it really good at the Kids’ Choice Awards: You love who you love," he said, adding, "Life’s complicated. I don’t like talking about it."
