Whoa! Candace Cameron Bure has unfollowed former Full House co-star and longtime good friend Jodie Sweetin after she continued throwing shade at her for her controversial “traditional marriage” remarks!
It appears just like the 46-year-old actress made the choice to take away Jodie from her following record in some unspecified time in the future amid her controversy. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old remains to be following Candace on social media at the moment. The information could come as a shock to some folks – contemplating the pair grew up collectively taking part in siblings DJ and Stephanie Tanner, respectively, on Full House till 1995 earlier than reprising their roles on Fuller House. Candace and Jodie have remained shut over time, with the Make It Or Break It alum even getting an invitation to her TV sister’s July wedding ceremony to Mescal Wasilewski.

However, issues between them since grown tense after Candace got here underneath hearth for praising the Great American Family channel for favoring “traditional marriage” plot traces over LGBTQIA+ love tales in an interview with WSJ Magazine. She stated on the time:
“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment. … I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
Yikes!
She shortly confronted backlash for her feedback from social media customers and celebrities like Hilarie Burton, Maren Morris, and JoJo Siwa. The Dance Moms alum blasted Candace for “excluding” the LGBTQIA+ group from her movies in a submit on Instagram, which noticed Jodie reply within the feedback:
“You know I love you.”
Candace then spoke out concerning the homophobic comment in a heated message on Instagram, saying:
“All of you who know me, know beyond question that I have great love and affection for all people. It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone. It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn’t be surprised. We need Christmas more than ever.”
And as you possibly can think about, she by no means as soon as apologized for her feedback within the submit. SMH. Since then, Jodie has not backed down on her criticism of Candace. She even re-posted Holly Robinson Peete’s submit calling for inclusivity to her Instagram Stories on Saturday. The message learn:
“There was a time when the words ‘tradition’ and ‘traditional’ were used to denigrate others … And to justify discriminatory laws like it wasn’t ‘traditional’ for people to marry interracially. So when we hear the words ‘traditional’ marriage to describe one type of marriage, it belittles the love and commitment that many legally married people have for each other and it triggers many of us to a time that we remember how the word ‘tradition’ was cloaked in Christianity and we were basically told that God didn’t want equality for all.”
And clearly, Candace didn’t like getting referred to as out by her former castmate on social media as a result of she now not follows her! Wow. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback under!
