Candace Cameron Bure Criticized By Jojo Siwa And Others For Traditional Marriage Comment.

  Months after they had a public back and forth, JoJo Siwa is venting her frustration with Candace Cameron Bure.   

  The singer/dancer, 19, posted on her verified Instagram about Cameron Bure after the former “Full House” star spoke to the Wall Street Journal about her work with the faith-based channel Great American Family.   

  When asked if Big American Family will include LGBTQ stories in its shows, Cameron Burr said, “I think Big American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”   

  Siwa identifies as queer and shared a headline that read “Candace Cameron Bure’s Plans for New Cable Channel: Not Gay.”   

  “Honestly, I can’t believe after everything that went down a few months ago, that she would not only make a movie with the intent of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then talk about it to the press,” Siwa wrote.  “This is rude and hurtful to an entire community of people.”   

  In July, Siwa posted a viral TikTok video in which she shared a photo of Cameron Bure as the “rudeest celebrity” she’d ever met, later revealing that she felt ignored by the star at an event when she was a child and tried to meet her.   

  Cameron Bure responded in a video on her verified Instagram account, explaining that she was “shocked” by the characterization and said everything was “all good” after the pair connected and discussed it.   

  Siwa wasn’t the only one upset by Cameron Bure’s recent comment.   

  Actress Hilarie Burton slammed her and Bill Abbott, chief executive of Great American Media, for “bigotry”.   

  “This guy and his network are disgusting,” Burton tweeted.  “And you too.  There is nothing untraditional about same-sex couples.”   

  Bure responded Wednesday in a statement provided to CNN.   

  “All of you who know me know without a doubt that I have great love and affection for all people,” her statement read in part.  “It breaks my heart that anyone would think that I would intentionally want to offend and hurt someone.”   

  Cameron Bure added that people of all “identities” contribute to the Great American Family, both on and off screen.   

  “I’ve long wanted to find a home for more religious programming.  I am grateful to be an integral part of a new and growing network,” her statement continued.  “I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I fully encourage and support.  I have never been interested in proselytizing through my storytelling, but in celebrating the greatness of God in our lives through the stories I tell.”
