Stamos unloaded on the fashion designer while on the Good Guys podcast, reports USA Today. "She didn't deserve to be dragged through that," he said of the bribery scandal that landed Laughlin in jail for two months. "I know for a fact it was all him." Giannulli served two weeks of home confinement. Laughlin and Giannulli, who married in 1997, announced their separation earlier this month after 27 years together. "Whatever he did to her, it busted her up to the core," said Stamos. "I know she's devastated. ... I mean, I know a lot, and I was by her side through a lot of it. She is an angel." Giannulli is "a terrible narcissist, and I don't think you ever get out of that unless you're able to," said Stamos, per People. "I pray for this guy," he added. "I pray that he gets a hold of whatever hole that he's trying to fill, however he's trying to fill it. I pray that he realizes that what he had was everything that anyone could ever hope for and that he gets some help." Neither Giannulli nor Laughlin has responded to Stamos' comments.
