Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure in a feud? Cut it out!
There is no bad blood between the “Full House” stars, who played sisters DJ and Stephanie Tanner, respectively, on the ABC sitcom that ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995.
Last summer, Sweetin, 43, and Bure, 49, had different opinions over the Paris Olympics — with “The Jane Mysteries” star calling out conservatives for their harsh opinions on the opening ceremony, which featured drag queens.
Bure dubbed the number, which referenced Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” “disgusting” and said it was mocking “the Christian faith.”
Despite their dueling feelings, Sweetin set the record straight on where she stands with her on-screen sibling.
“Tell us you don’t know about art,'” host Amir Yass said on the latest episode of his “The Vault” podcast, quoting Sweetin. “You were speaking about her…”
The “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast host quickly clarified: “To be honest, I wasn’t speaking about her.”
“There was already something that had happened where we went on a divergent path,” explained Sweetin. “And then I saw the Olympics thing and how people were freaking out about it, so I said, ‘Oh my God, tell me you don’t know anything about art history without telling me you know nothing,’ and everyone was like, ‘She came for Candace!'”
The “Fuller House” star admitted she was shocked by that rumor.
Sweetin recalled, “And I was like, ‘What the…?’ I was, like, getting a massage or something, and I came out to all of this, and I was like, ‘What did I…? Oh, she said….ohhhhhh. Well, I guess that’s it!'”
“I’m not changing anything I said,” she insisted. “But it was not an intentional dig. But it was still what I wanted to say.”
“It’s funny, we’ve never actually ‘gotten into it’,” she said. “She posted her viewpoint and I posted mine, and we’ve always been very different on those things. I think it was just… now all of that comes to the surface more.”
The “Full House” cast — which also included the late Bob Saget, Lori Loughlin, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — have always been close.
Most of the main cast, minus the Olsen twins, reunited for five seasons of Netflix’s “Fuller House” from 2016-2020.
“Candace and I have just lived very different…lifestyles,” Sweetin expressed. “We just exist in different worlds, but she is still someone I have known since I was 5 years old.”
“It’s like family members,” she added. “Maybe we don’t talk all the time, and I know if politics comes up it is not going to go well, but I don’t hate you. I am not going to not hug you, but I’m also not going to not keep my mouth shut. So that’s what I did. That’s how I look at it. You don’t want to follow or whatever, that’s cool.”
As Sweetin put it, “I’ll be nice, but I will not be quiet.”
In 2022, however, Bure unfollowed Sweetin on Instagram after the Hallmark star supported JoJo Siwa who criticized Bure’s comments about Great American Family’s programming showing traditional families.
Sweetin noted, “I’m not gonna unfollow anybody!”
“I don’t live my life based on social media,” she shared. “I think it can be used for some great things, and I also think it can be really negative and full of a lot of shit, particularly these days.”
“Unfollow me, don’t follow, whatevs,” Sweetin stated. “People announce their departure. It’s like, ‘Cool, yeah, goodbye! You live in fucking Wyoming. I don’t know you!’ And if people I do know unfollow me because of what I passionately believe in, then we are just very different people.”
In 2022, Bure defended herself and her network, which she is the CCO at, from the backlash about showing traditional marriage in her programming.
“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,” she told People. “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.”
The “Ainsley McGregor Mysteries” star also spoke about her faith, adding, “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.”
