After suffering what she wrote was "one of the worst episodes" of depression during her divorce in , she found that running helped her cope — and she was ready to start talking about her mental health with the public. Barber's sense of self may be clearer as an adult, but her Full House character, despite being a teenager at the start, has always been sure of herself.
While Barber is much more thoughtful about life than her on-screen counterpart — who was and is often characterized as rather simple-minded — Kimmy was always unabashedly herself. Barber says this was hard for her growing up — especially when Kimmy was put in crazy outfits like her infamous her light-up prom dress. But, Barber says she sees now how valuable it was for young women and girls to see themselves in Kimmy and her wacky outfits and quirky, but carefree behavior.
I wish that somebody had said that to me when I was growing up and had braces and was super awkward with my gangly limbs.
So, Danny and Jesse and Stephanie may have mocked her, but Kimmy did more good, on and off screen, than anyone ever gave her credit for. And, look, a lot of us were children when the show came out and we laughed when the laugh track instructed us to — which was often at Kimmy's expense. But it's been 30 years and we know better, so it's time to own up to our mistakes. That said, after Fuller House , it makes sense that she never wanted to be home.
Aside from the fact that this poses some continuity questions considering that Kimmy never mentioned anything about having a younger sibling in the original series, the existence of Jimmy explains why she always wanted to be with the Tanners. It's long-established that Kimmy isn't the brightest kid; both Stephanie and Michelle typically pointed this out in an effort to annoy her and she's typically shown copying DJ's homework.
Despite her tendency to be uppity about certain stuff, she's aware of her low-intellectual ability and it didn't' seem to bother her that much. This made for some laughs in the cult classic family sitcom and was something that Fuller House continued to do. However, as vapid as Kimmy can be, it's clear that Jimmy is much denser than she is. She was loud, trouble-making, and said any and everything that was on her mind. More often than not, the things on her mind were more strange than inappropriate, but the free-spirited Gibbler was a welcome foil to the often too straight-laced Tanner family.
More than any other characters on Full House , Kimmy was the one I liked best. And she did all of that while rocking a side ponytail with the same confidence movie stars have walking down the red carpet. Kimmy was the shining quirky light of a series and a family that relentlessly tried to break her down. To be fair to Joey, it was mostly Danny and Jesse who had the Kimmy problem.
