On Friday, April 1, a seemingly leaked video capturing John Stamos' epic meltdown at Netflix office surfaced online. The actor threw tantrum and launched expletives at a receptionist who said he couldn't meet the company's exec he's looking for.
"Tell him John f**king Stamos is here, okay?" he yelled at the employee. "You want to make fun of me? My brand? My f**king brand? My 30 years in showbiz? You want to make fun of me? You're gonna take the Stamos brand like this a**hole did and use it in some stupid gag? That's bulls**t."
Earlier, at midnight on Thursday, the streaming giant released a trailer announcing plans to release a new show based on his life. PEOPLE reported that Stamos went berserk after he was told that the said documentary series was an April Fool's joke.

Turns out, however, the meltdown video was just an April Fools' prank pulled by Netflix. Later on Friday, Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos addressed Stamos' tantrum in yet another fake apology video. "There's been a great debate all over the world about whether or not his behavior was appropriate," he said. "Well, I'm here to tell you that not only was John Stamos's behavior appropriate, it was in reaction to my wildly inappropriate behavior."
"On behalf of Netflix, on behalf of myself, on behalf of the entire internet, we apologize to John Stamos," Sarandos continued, while the "Full House" star stood behind him. "And doesn't John Stamos look great?"
