Allison Coss and Scott Sippola were found guilty of their alleged extortion of the John Stamos on Thursday, reports People.com.  The couple told Stamos that they had photos of him with cocaine, among other things, that they were going to sell to the tabloids.  They wanted $860,000 for pictures that didn’t even exist according to federal prosecutors.

Following the courts guilty verdict yesterday, the actor took to his Twitter account to release a statement condemning them.

“I am shocked and perplexed how individuals could fabricate so many false stories in an effort to defend a crime.  I agreed to be a witness for a federal criminal prosecution and endured countless false accusations about my behavior and appropriateness,” he wrote.  “The allegations made regarding an inappropriate relationship are completely untrue.  These slanderous allegations to smear my reputation were part of their defense to redirect attention away from the federal crime of extortion.”

Stamos was there to testify in court and is glad that they have received what was coming to them.  Stamos’ statement continues, “They lied about everything from a pregnancy to compromising photos.  I’m grateful these two criminals have been found guilty and I plan to go home to be with my family and friends and prepare to get back to work.”

But Stamos wasn’t phased by the incident, and didn’t see why his publicists had to skew the story. “I said, ‘No, tell ‘em the truth! I was f****** drunk in Australia. Big deal.’”
