Actress Miss Benny brought the unfortunate news to TikTok‘s attention in a new video on Thursday in which she broke down what it was really like to step foot on the set of the Full House reboot. The 24-year-old had the honor of playing the spin-off’s first gay character, Casey, but she was quickly informed her role was at risk!

According to Miss Benny, “one of the Tanner sisters” who is “very publicly not for the girls” was not pleased with the addition of a queer character in two episodes of season 4. Because the star’s feelings about the LGBTQ+ community were so widely known by everyone working on the production, the higher-ups sat down with the guest star to warn her about what to expect! The performer, who came out as transgender in June, revealed:

“I remember I got sat down by the writers and the studio to basically warn me how this person allegedly was trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show.”

WTF!

The actress claimed she was “warned and prepared” that this person’s fan base might also be “encouraged to target” her. While the protests to get the character erased from the comedy didn’t work, it doesn’t mean the leading lady was very welcoming to the Glamorous lead, Miss Benny claimed:

“To this day, despite working on the show every day for two weeks straight, I have only had a conversation with one of the Tanner sisters.”

Now, obviously, there were only two Tanner sisters to chat with on set because the youngest, Michelle, played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, was not a part of the Netflix series. And given what we all know about Candace and Jodie Sweetin, it seems obvious the latter was the only friendly one. Jeez.

Again, while Miss Benny’s post never called out Candace by name, the star did include the caption, “#candacebure,” so there’s really no mistaking who she was putting on blast. You can hear her full reflection (below):

Replying to @Teddy Bear queue some nervous fidgeting. #fullerhouse #greenscreen #candacebure

As to be expected, the Christmas Under Wraps lead wasted no time clapping back. Denying all the claims, she said in a statement to People on Thursday night:

“I never asked Miss Benny’s character to be removed from Fuller House and did not ask the writers, producers or studio executives to not have queer characters on the show. Fuller House has always welcomed a wide range of characters. I thought Miss Benny did a great job as ‘Casey’ on the show. We didn’t share any scenes together, so we didn’t get a chance to talk much while filming on set. I wish Miss Benny only the best.”

Hmmm…

Her word choice at the end is def inneresting. Saying they didn’t have the opportunity to “talk much” seems to suggest they did interact — but if we’re going off what Miss Benny said then that’s a lie!

Of course, these allegations come after Candace was already dubbed the “rudest celebrity” JoJo Siwa‘s ever met. Last year, the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star also made waves when she promoted her new partnership with the Hallmark rival Great American Family, saying:

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”

The 47-year-old’s apparent bigotry was criticized by many stars, including the Dance Moms alum who was shocked she so openly gushed about her “intention of excluding LGBTQIA+” people in her new projects. Jodie was spotted supporting the former Nickelodeon star, who identifies as queer and pansexual, writing, “You know I love you.” Jodie also unfollowed Candace at the time. So, considering all of this, we’re sad (but not shocked) to hear these latest claims. What do you make of them, Perezcious readers?! Whose side of the story do you believe?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Candace Cameron Bure Denies Claims She Tried To Get First Queer <i>Fuller House</i> Character 'Removed' From Show! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Earlier this month, the Full House alum hopped on Instagram to share that besides In-N-Out, she hasn’t actually consumed any fast food in over 20 years. She explained at the time, according to Entertainment Tonight:

“I haven’t eaten fast food except for In-N-Out in 20 years. Some days I wonder what a burger and fries is like from McDonald’s or Burger King or Wendy’s or any of those other places I’ve never eaten at. Today is that day. Am I going to find out? No.”

In the since-deleted post, she added:

“And no, I’ve never had Taco Bell or anything similar. I don’t regret it. You can’t convince me otherwise.”

If true, that’s some real commitment! We mean, talk about discipline, right? 20 years! That means she couldn’t even attend one of her brother’s famous Subway-tastic birthday bashes!

However, because what we say on the internet never really goes away, one old post was found that seemed to snare her in a lie. Considering how much she’s offended and disappointed certain communities as of late, we can’t blame some social media users if they decided to take her claim as a personal challenge to prove her wrong. But who knows, maybe someone just remembered seeing this particular post?

Either way, not long after her boast, an IG post from 2012 was unearthed in which Candace and her son posed for a selfie… and in their hands were Chick-Fil-A cups! While the post has since been deleted, one user managed to grab a screenshot of the photo, along with her caption that majorly contradicts her recent claims:

“We love chikin!”

The “chikin” spelling, of course being the spelling from Chick-Fil-A’s famous motto, “Eat mor chikin.” See (below):

In a statement to Insider, a representative for the 47-year-old actress shared:

“Candace told me that she drove her son to get food at Chick-fil-A and she only ordered an iced tea for herself.”

They pointed out, side-stepping the contradiction:

“Candace is only holding a cup.”

The source added that the idea she lied about her two-decade abstinence from fast food is “untrue” and “ridiculous.” We should say, the removal of the evidence tells a different story though, doesn’t it? We mean, why delete that old post if it’s so “ridiculous”?

We guess we’ll never truly know the truth. For now, we’ll just have to accept Cameron’s word until she says otherwise — or until more incriminating social media posts are dug up, LOLz!

What do YOU make of the situation, Perezcious readers? Do you think she’s telling the truth? Or was the Chick-Fil-A outing maybe a slip up she had forgotten about that she doesn’t want to fess up to?? Sound OFF in the comments down below!

The post Candace Cameron Bure Says She Hasn’t Eaten Fast Food In ‘20 Years’ -- But Does This IG Post Prove She’s Lying?? appeared first on Perez Hilton.

During an Q&A with her followers on Instagram Thursday, the 43-year-old food and travel blogger was asked if she was “still close” with some of the late actor’s co-stars from the beloved sitcom. She responded to the question by sharing a snapshot of herself with John Stamos, his wife Caitlin McHugh, Candace Cameron Bure, and Lori Loughlin. Kelly also revealed alongside the picture:

“Love them dearly… this is when we got together last month for the 1 year anniversary.”

It’s great to see Kelly had the love and support from close friends during what must have been a painful and difficult day. On the anniversary of his tragic death in January, she paid tribute to Bob on social media, writing:

“One Year. Our hearts are so heavy. How could I not have talked to or seen my loving husband in a whole year? The surreal-ness never subsides. I’ve accepted the reality long ago but it still seems unreal when I see photos or videos of him so full of life.”

Heartbreaking. While Kelly is still grappling with the loss of her husband, she also noted the situation has been “survivable” for her because she’s “the luckiest” for having known him.

Losing someone is never easy. We’re glad Kelly seems to have a support system in Bob’s former co-stars during this difficult time.

The post Bob Saget’s Wife Kelly Rizzo Reunited With <i>Full House</i> Cast Members On First Anniversary Of His Death appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As you’ve likely heard, the Full House alum ditched Hallmark, a network she’d collaborated with for YEARS to make made-for-TV movies, in favor of rival startup network Great American Family last year. Then, she came under fire after revealing to the WSJ in November of 2022 that the main reason for her switch was that because of “new leadership,” Hallmark was “a completely different network” from when she started. She added:

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”

Related: Candace & Jodie Sweetin In ‘Pretty Serious’ Dispute After Marriage Comments

Pretty much ALL of Twitter knew right away that was code for marriage between “a man and woman” — a total anti-LGBT dog-whistle. Everyone from viewers to former co-stars made it known en masse they weren’t OK with this kind of hate. The self-proclaimed “devoted Christian” later jumped on Instagram to address the backlash, noting she has a “great love and affection for all people,” attempting to place all the blame on “the media.” She noted: 

“To the members of the media responsible for using this opportunity to fan flames of conflict and hate, I have a simple message: I love you anyway. To those who hate what I value and who are attacking me online: I love you. To those who have tried to assassinate my character: I love you. To everyone reading this, of any race, creed, sexuality, or political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling, I love you.”

Now, she’s speaking out about how “cancel culture” has affected her. While chatting on the Unapologetic podcast with Julia Jeffress Sadler on Wednesday, the 46-year-old lamented: 

“Cancel culture is real, and it’s difficult, and it’s hard.”

She also compared herself to how Christians face “persecution” for speaking their beliefs all over the world. She continued:

“I know there’s all the places in the world, all different countries, where people get severely persecuted for their faith. I feel like we’ve had this cushion here in North America where someone yells at us or someone says a mean, negative thing and our feelings get so hurt over it. And that isn’t nearly the persecution that other people go through from being a Christian in other countries.”

However, she noted that even in tough times, it’s important for Christians to maintain their faith:

“It’s hard, no matter what. Especially when you are a compassionate person and you have a heart for people. But it’s important that we speak truth in love, ’cause, listen, nobody’s gonna change, nobody’s gonna listen to you when it comes out angry, when it comes out in a harsh way, but it’s important that we don’t back down.”

While she did say she has it far better, she’s still putting herself in the same boat as those who face actual religious persecution — and not TV stars who upset people by spreading hate. (Also, sorry, but this idea that Christians face anywhere near the persecution that the LGBT community does is total BS. It’s the largest religion in the world, and the numbers they’re always touting of Christians martyred for their faith are wildly misleading. Just some “truth in love” for ya…)

The mother of three then added how proud she is of her own children, Natasha, 24, Lev, 22, and Maksim, 21, who she shares with husband Valeri Bure, for always “sticking to the truth”:

“I am so encouraged by my own children. … I’m so proud of them for really sticking to truth and knowing the gospel and being willing to share that because I know it takes bravery, especially in the time we’re living today.”

Yeah, because actively seeking to exclude marginalized groups from mainstream culture is totally something to be proud of… Whatever, DJ…

The post Candace Cameron Bure Slams ‘Cancel Culture’ After Backlash For ‘Traditional Marriage’ Comments appeared first on Perez Hilton.

How could anyone forget the fateful day America’s dad passed away? The comedian tragically and unexpectedly died last January after suffering head trauma while staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. The actor left a massive hole in the hearts of many, and on the first anniversary of his death, some of the people he held closest in his life are opening up.

In a Monday post, Bob’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, uploaded a heartfelt tribute of pictures and videos, set to the tune of The Luckiest by Ben Folds – one of his “favorite songs.” She wrote:

“One Year. Our hearts are so heavy. How could I not have talked to or seen my loving husband in a whole year? The surreal-ness never subsides. I’ve accepted the reality long ago but it still seems unreal when I see photos or videos of him so full of life. But there is one thing I carry with me every single day that makes this survivable. I AM THE LUCKIEST. I am the luckiest that I got to be his wife. I am the luckiest that I got to live with his warmth, and laughter, and brilliance, and love. I am the luckiest that I get to have his girls by my side. I am the luckiest that I got to watch him first hand help people, make them happy, and make the world a better place. Some people can live 1,000 lifetimes and never live a life as fully as he did. And to that I have to say, Well Done.”

We can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it’s been for the widow, but we’re so glad she has so much positivity to look back on. As for the late star’s on-screen family, his Full House co-stars didn’t shy away from commemorating their television patriarch. The same day, John Stamos, who played Jesse Katsopolis — the brother-in-law- to Bob’s Danny Tanner — also took to IG, where he showed off a clip of themselves in between takes for the show. You can hear Stamos saying:

“What you see up here is really how it is. We’ll never have another show like this.”

He added:

“We really love each other… There’s not one fight in six years, we really get along, I look forward to seeing everybody.”

In the post’s caption, he wrote:

“‘The most lost day in our life is the day we don’t laugh’. It’s hard sometimes Bob without you, but we’ll try. We’ll keep loving and will keep hugging just like you want us to.”

See (below):

Dave Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone on the fan favorite show, also took to the photo sharing app to post a hilarious photo of the two, which he sweetly captioned:

“Bob could always bring out the 5th grader in me. I met him when I was just an unknown, 18 year-old standup at a small club in Detroit. We became instant brothers. Sometimes, I still grab my phone, ready to share one of the hundreds of silly bits that we did together. At some point today, I’ll think about how much I miss him and I’ll shed some tears. Then I’ll hear Bob’s voice, and it’ll make me laugh.”

Candace Cameron Bure, who played Bob’s on-screen daughter D.J., also got into the mix, posting an adorable throwback photo of themselves. She wrote:

“I stayed up for hours watching videos of Bob on my phone. Videos I couldn’t watch a year ago because it hurt too much. Last night they made me laugh. They comforted me and warmed my heart. I watched them over and over and laughed so hard. I miss him so much and I’m grateful he was my friend for so many years.”

Awww. We’re glad the memories are beginning to offer her comfort and not just sadness.

Finally, Bob’s other on-screen daughter, Jodie Sweetin, who played the sassy Stephanie, took to IG to share a lengthy tribute. She captioned her selfie with the late actor:

“I just wanted you to know, I’ve thought of you every day for the past year. It’s just not the same without you with us, and I don’t think it ever will feel like that again. I wish you had been here over the last year, oh… there’s so many moments you were supposed to be here for. So many times I thought of calling you and thinking, ‘What would Bob do in this moment?’ Mostly the answer to that is ‘make a joke about it’… so I do that. A lot. Even when I probably shouldn’t, but it’s those moments when I hear you just over my shoulder, laughing the hardest. So many times, just in my own life this year, that I wished I could hear you were proud of me. But I hear it anyway.”

She concluded:

“You will always remind me to love bigger, laugh harder, and hug like Bob Saget.”

If we take anything from these posts, it’s LOVE, and knowing just how much of a positive impact Bob had on the lives of so many! We can’t believe it’s already been a year, but his memory will live forever. Rest in peace to a legend.

The post Kelly Rizzo, John Stamos, & More <i>Full House</i> Stars Honor Bob Saget On One Year Anniversary Of His Death appeared first on Perez Hilton.

In case you somehow missed the controversy, the Full House alum was talking last month about having left Hallmark to become a star and “creative officer” at the Great American Family network. She danced around it but eventually got across her message. She was going to be happier at GAF because unlike Hallmark lately, it would “keep traditional marriage at the core.”

Yeah. We know what that means. None of that icky LGBT-friendly stuff. Because having two dudes fall in love in a wintry small town setting isn’t “keeping the Christ in Christmas,” as some would say. Blugh.

Related: Candace & Jodie Sweetin In ‘Pretty Serious’ Dispute Amid Anti-LGBT Controversy!

Many understood all too well what Candace was trying to say. One of those was Neal Bledsoe, a fellow staple of the popular Christmas rom com subgenre. After starring in two such flicks this year, The Winter Palace and Christmas at the Drive-In, the affable actor announced he was leaving the network over Cameron Bure’s comments, explaining in a lengthy statement last week why he was not doing promo for his new movie with the GAF:

“The recent comments made by leadership at Great American Family are hurtful, wrong, and reflect an ideology that prioritizes judgment over love. I was raised as a Christian, and believe in the essential message of love and forgiveness. That said, I could never forgive myself for continuing my relationship with a network that actively chooses to exclude the LGBTQIA+ community.”

He added:

“The thought that my work could be used to deliberately discriminate against anyone horrifies and infuriates me. I hope GAF will change, but until everyone can be represented in their films with pride, my choice is clear.”

It’s a great statement. You can check out the full text HERE.

A week later, and Danica McKellar is out here promoting the latest flicks all by herself. This marks the end of an onscreen relationship that spanned three Christmas romances — Bledsoe played her love interest in The Winter Palace, Christmas at the Drive-In, and the 2017 Hallmark movie Coming Home for Christmas. She says she supports the LGBTQ community, too. She posted a couple weeks back that she was “a new Christian” but she still supported “all forms of healthy love between adults”:

“The idea that Christianity would judge any form of love simply baffles me. I’m still new to my faith journey, but as far as I can tell, Jesus loves and includes everyone. That’s kind of His thing…

She also mentioned that she has a gay friend. So she talks the talk. But unlike her movie beau, she isn’t ready to walk off and follow her principles off the network.

While speaking to Fox News Digital on Monday about the fact her co-star wasn’t promoting with her because he’d cut off his support for Great American Family, she responded:

“Neal is a wonderful person. He’s such a great actor and I have enjoyed working with him so much. He and I both share our love and support of the LGBT community for sure.”

But?

“I don’t agree with his interpretation of her comments. I just didn’t see them the same way.”

Huh? Does she think he’s pulling the interpretation out of his butt? That we all are?? The Wonder Years alum explained:

“[Candace] started the sentence with ‘I think,’ which is not definitive, and she ended it with ‘at its core,’ which doesn’t mean exclusively. I don’t agree with his interpretation, but I love him to death and I wish him well.”

Oof. She wishes him well? This really was a breakup!

Look, we know Danica is a brilliant woman. But all her mathematician skills aren’t exactly serving her right now. Math doesn’t have shades of gray, it has exact equations. And while TV’s DJ didn’t technically, explicitly say she doesn’t think her network should have gay content, she didn’t have to. The public faces of hate always keep their plausible deniability with politesse. They don’t want to look like they’re being hateful. They talk about “what god intended”, about “respecting tradition”, about “valuing the family unit.”

But at this point the LGBTQ community has gotten pretty good at reading between the lines and hearing the dog whistles. They have to — it’s a matter of self-preservation. Because the folks that talk about protecting the “traditional family” are in the same pews with the folks firebombing donut shops that hold drag shows. People like Danica have the luxury of making logical distinctions between the expressions of hate. No one is going to attack her on the street for holding hands with her husband.

Or maybe we’re wrong. Maybe she just looked at the number of upcoming movies she could film with GAF and did a different math.

Either way, we’re pretty disappointed in Danica here. Ironically, it’s clear she doesn’t GAF as much as her co-star. What do YOU think of her latest statement??

The post Danica McKellar Defends Candace Cameron Bure's 'Traditional Marriage' Comments After Co-Star Leaves GAF Network appeared first on Perez Hilton.

According to a new source opening up to ET on Tuesday, Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin, who played sisters DJ and Stephanie Tanner, respectively, for years on Full House and Fuller House, are in a “pretty serious” disagreement following Candace’s very controversial “traditional marriage” comments!

Earlier this month, the devout Christian spoke with WSJ. Magazine about her exit from the Hallmark Channel and her next chapter at the Great American Family network, which has no plans to include same-sex couples in their movies. While addressing this, the 46-year-old very clearly said she wants to “keep traditional marriage at the core” of her Christmas flicks.

Naturally, the hateful declaration sent the internet into a tailspin! Several notable celebrities clapped back at the comment, including Hilarie Burton, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Maren Morris. Then JoJo Siwa entered the chat. The pair have had a complicated history ever since the Nickelodeon star called CCB the rudest celeb she’s ever met in a TikTok earlier this year. The teen once again put the actress on blast for her anti-LGBTQ remark and Jodie slid into her comment section to send her support, writing:

“You know I love you “

Days later, the Merry Swissmas lead also re-posted Holly Robinson Peete’s IG post calling for inclusivity to her Instagram Stories. Shockingly, Candy then UNFOLLOWED her TV sister on the ‘gram! Damn! (At this time, Jodie still follows Candace.)

Phew. It’s been a lot! And it doesn’t sound like it will be resolved anytime soon…

While chatting with ET, the insider explained the co-star’s ongoing dispute has to do with their different world views since Jodie “is progressive in her beliefs and Candace is very religious in hers.” AKA she’s conservative as f**k! Cause it’s not like every religious person is a proud homophobe! Reiterating all this, the confidant continued:

“They have different views and opinions on various important topics.”

All of this has probably been pretty obvious to both of them behind the scenes. We mean, Candace has made a habit out of preaching her religious views on social media. But it seems her “traditional marriage” quote was just too much for Jodie to let slide. According to the source, Bure’s comments to WSJ. “held a lot of weight,” but it also didn’t help that Jodie so publicly took a stand against Candace, the insider dished:

“Candace’s quote about traditional marriage impacted a lot of people. Jodie does not agree with Candace’s remarks and wanted to show where she stands. Candace is upset that Jodie chose to do this in a public way instead of talking to her one-on-one.”

Well, if she can speak her mind so publicly then her on-screen sibling should be able to do the same! Just saying. ET tried to get a comment from the stars, but Candace’s reps couldn’t be reached and Jodie’s team said they don’t have a comment at this time. So, we bet nothing has changed.

As for the A Christmas… Present star, she’s been standing by her word, saying in a long-winded statement after making headlines last week:

“We need Christmas more than ever. I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do. If you know me, you know that I am a person who loves fiercely and indiscriminately. My heart yearns to build bridges and bring people one step closer to God, to love others well, and to simply be a reflection of God’s huge love for all of us.”

To her vocal haters, she added:

“To the members of the media responsible for using this opportunity to fan flames of conflict and hate, I have a simple message: I love you anyway. To those who hate what I value and who are attacking me online: I love you. To those who have tried to assassinate my character: I love you. To everyone reading this, of any race, creed, sexuality, or political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling, I love you.”

For her part, Jodie took to social media today to share several organizations fans should consider donating to for Giving Tuesday and she included GLAAD! So clearly she’s passionate about standing up for the LGBTQ+ community, even when it means striking up a feud with one of her oldest friends! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Do you think they’ll be able to make amends? Sound OFF (below)!

Over the Thanksgiving break, the country singer took to Instagram to share a snapshot of her kids, Vivianne, 8, Eric Jr., 7, and Forrest, 4, during a family vacation to Mexico. Sadly, shortly after the pic (upper inset) hit the internet, haters began to criticize their bodies and wondered if the momma had photoshopped abs onto them.

While she defended her kids’ physiques and her parenting in response to several comments over the weekend, the Dancing with the Stars contestant’s IG page has still been filled with lots of hateful reactions to the sweet pic. Now, she’s returning to put fans in their place!

On Monday, the Should Have Known Better songstress shared a video montage featuring her children and her husband Eric Decker enjoying their getaway. The 34-year-old songwriter then slammed the “bonkers” controversy, writing in the caption:

“I didn’t plan on addressing this because it’s bonkers but the photos are out there and every single news outlet has posted about this. When I posted the pix of our vacation and included the kids being silly flexing on the beach on our thanksgiving trip I had NO clue it would get the reaction it did. But Being accused of photoshopping abs on my kids (I can’t help but laugh) or … the polar opposite over ‘overtraining’ our kids makes me realize how bizarre our world has gotten regarding the body and what’s normal and what’s not.”

The I Still Love You vocalist has been open about her own body image struggles in the past, which is why she’s so determined to set her kids up for success, she continued:

“We preach about body positivity and acceptance but my kids having a mass amount of genetic and built muscle from athletics is ‘weird?’ I want to raise my kids to feel proud of their bodies and hard work from either Vivis elite competitive gymnastics to Eric Jr wanting to be like dad as an NFL receiver to little Forrest who spends hours dancing his heart out.”

The performer concluded with a variation of Maya Angelou’s famous “do better” quote, telling trolls:

“Let’s not pick and choose what we normalize regarding bodies and be accepting of all people and children. If we wanna do ‘better’ then do better. I’m proud of my children and encourage them to live their dreams. So we’ll see y’all at the 2032 Olympics, and wearing Bubbys jersey in the stands and dancing at Forrests rock concert”

Aw! Love how supportive she is of her kiddos’ interests! But it sucks she even had to defend them against this kind of hate, especially at their young ages!! Ch-ch-check out her full post (below)!

Jamie Lynn Spears added:

Even Candace Cameron Bure, who has been dealing with her own controversy lately, chimed in:

It looks like the 46-year-old actress made the decision to remove Jodie from her following list at some point amid her controversy. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old is still following Candace on social media at this time. The news may come as a shock to some people – considering the pair grew up together playing siblings DJ and Stephanie Tanner, respectively, on Full House until 1995 before reprising their roles on Fuller House. Candace and Jodie have remained close over the years, with the Make It Or Break It alum even getting an invite to her TV sister’s July wedding to Mescal Wasilewski.

Related: JoJo Siwa Has No Interest In Speaking To Candace Cameron Bure Ever Again!

However, things between them since grown tense after Candace came under fire for praising the Great American Family channel for favoring “traditional marriage” plot lines over LGBTQIA+ love stories in an interview with WSJ Magazine. She said at 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 quickly faced backlash for her comments from social media users and celebrities like Hilarie Burton, Maren Morris, and JoJo Siwa. The Dance Moms alum blasted Candace for “excluding” the LGBTQIA+ community from her films in a post on Instagram, which saw Jodie respond in the comments:

“You know I love you.”

Candace then spoke out about the homophobic remark 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 can imagine, she never once apologized for her comments in the post. SMH. Since then, Jodie has not backed down on her criticism of Candace. She even re-posted Holly Robinson Peete’s post calling for inclusivity to her Instagram Stories on Saturday. The message read:

“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 called out by her former castmate on social media because she no longer follows her! Wow. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

The post Candace Cameron Bure Unfollows Jodie Sweetin After <i>Full House</i> Co-Star Shaded Her Over Her ‘Traditional Marriage’ Comments! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As you know, CCB made it clear she’s not interested in LGBTQ+ stories in the romance movies she’s making at her new home. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal from earlier this month, the Fuller House star discussed her decision to jump ship from Hallmark Channel to its new competitor the Great American Family network (where she will now serve as a chief creative officer). While promoting her upcoming holiday flick, the 46-year-old made this astounding comment:

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”

Yikes!

She can pretend all day that comment isn’t anti-LGBT, but we’ve heard it all before. “Traditional marriage” is code for “Gays need not apply.”

Among the MANY celebs who dragged the star was the young LGBT star she had just been feuding with. It all started in July when JoJo posted a TikTok in which she called Candace the “rudest celebrity” she’s ever met. The Christmas Under Wraps actress’ feelings were hurt and she reached out to the Dance Moms alum to hash out the situation, which supposedly had to do with her once refusing to take a photo. They seemed to settle the drama and Candace even tried to use it as a teaching moment for her fanbase — but it’s back on, y’all!

JoJo clearly does not have a problem standing up for what she believes in — and after Bure’s hurtful comments, she did just that. In an Instagram post from earlier this month, the 19-year-old clapped back by calling her former idol out for her bigotry:

“honestly, I can’t believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press. This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”

Mic drop.

And it doesn’t look like Candy is gonna get that reconciliation and “teaching moment” this time! Because JoJo is DONE trying to make peace.

On Sunday at Disney+‘s Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium, the Boomerang singer told People she’s thankful for the response she’s received following her slamming Candace this time:

“As I’m getting older, I’m starting to realize what an impact I really do get to have … [I’m] learning that I have a chance to use my voice, use my platform for something good and to change the world for the better. I think that’s a really cool position to be in.”

She’s got no regrets about anything she’s said, either:

“I am being honest and maybe being a little disruptive to somebody’s life, but it’s what I believe in. And so to have good people stand behind you with it felt really nice.”

And as far as The J Team star’s communication with the star she once adored? There is none:

“We have not [talked], and I don’t think we ever will again … That’s what’s f**ked up. You not liking gay marriage, do your thing girl. You being religious, do your thing girl. Of course, I would want everybody to do what they want to do. But to purposely exclude someone because of who they love, that’s s**tty.”

Extremely well said, JoJo!

To fix the situation and educate herself, Siwa thinks the Full House alum should take GLAAD‘s President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis‘ offer to “have a conversation”:

“That’s what I would want Candace to do. I would want her to have a conversation with GLAAD. Because even though I am educated, GLAAD is such an incredible organization. Sarah is a genius when it comes to the gay community. And I think that Candace having a conversation with her would be not only eye-opening to Candace but eye-opening to a whole world of people who might have those same beliefs.”

Let’s hope Candace takes them up on the offer. In a world like ours there’s no time for hatred and bigotry — and for someone who claims she’s nice and loves everyone, it seems like she’d be open and try do the right thing. But only time will tell…
