Candace Cameron Bure did an “Ask Me Anything” on her Instagram Stories during which someone asked how her fans could pray for her.
“Thank you [for] asking,” the “Dancing With the Stars” alum responded. “I’m always praying for protection, in the physical and of the heart and mind. Being a public person has its pros and cons. I think some of you can imagine or have seen glimpses of the cons,” she continued.
“My skin isn’t as thick as you might think. I take every step by the grace and strength God provides,” she added.
Bure‘s comments came amid a seemingly ongoing disconnect with another DWTS alum, JoJo Siwa.
Here’s what you need to know:
JoJo Siwa Called Candace Cameron Bure the ‘Rudest’ Celebrity She’s Ever Met
Siwa, 20, and Bure, 47, have both appeared on “Dancing With the Stars.” Bure appeared on season 18 of “DWTS” in 2014 and was partnered with Mark Ballas. Siwa danced on season 30 in 2021 and was partnered with Jenna Johnson.
In a now-deleted TikTok video from July 2022, Siwa shared that Bure is the “rudest celebrity I’ve met.” In the video, Siwa quickly flashes her cell phone at the camera, showing a photo of Bure.
“I want to talk about the JoJo situation. I was shocked when I saw the TikTok on Sunday. I had no idea where it came from. I immediately tried to reach out to her through mutual friends, and my publicist contacted her manager, and I DM’d her because I didn’t know what happened. So I was finally able to talk to JoJo this morning. I called her and we had a great conversation,” Bure said in an Instagram video uploaded in July 2022.
While things seemed to be settled, more dust has been kicked up in the time since.
JoJo Siwa Says She Doesn’t Regret Speaking Out About Candace Cameron Bure
Over the course of a year, Bure and Siwa have bumped heads more than once. In November 2022, Bure told the Wall Street Journal she wanted to continue working with GAC Media because the network keeps Christian values and “traditional marriage at the core.”
Siwa, a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, took offense to the comments.
“Honestly, I can’t believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with [the] intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press. This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people,” Siwa wrote on Instagram according to Us Weekly.
In July 2023, Siwa sat down for a chat with Nick Viall on his “Viall Files” podcast during which she addressed Bure again.
“I wish she was able to be a little more open, more accepting,” she told Viall. “I’m okay with calling her out in the way that I did. For a while I regretted it, but after I found out that article about her not wanting anything to do [with] LGBTQIA+ … that’s my people. And I have to stand up for my people,” she added.
Bure hasn’t addressed Siwa’s latest comments.

Why is it that when believers stand up for what is right everyone takes it wrong? I think Siwa is more upset that Cameron didn’t compromise her beliefs & she took it personal & I have family members who are part of the LGBTQIA, I think it’s more
It’s more of a misunderstanding than anything.
Candace has her views and you have yours , quit being jealous and quit worrying about what people think ! She’s not the only person that thinks like that , so go on with life and be glad your not a transgender or it could be worse.
Candace is a Christian and she is not supposed to accept that lifestyle, and that is ok. In the Bible it specifically states “man shall not lie down with man .” I feel the same way. It doesn’t mean that you hate a group of people, it just says that you are a believer of Christ, but Hollywood doesn’t want to accept that. Candace, you are truly a beautiful person inside and out and you are doing God’s will thank you for all your work and thank you for all your good shows on full House God bless you
I agree with Sharon Long I quit watching Hallmark channel because of how the wokes are taking over and all the racism and stuff , Vote Trump and get the Demacrats out so it can go back to normal !
I’m sure Hallmark doesn’t miss you at all. Please don’t vote for Trumpster Fire, unless you’re one of his racist, xenophobic, insurrectionist douchbags. If you’re going to try and insult something please learn how to spell, it’s Democrats.
Your so stupid u dumb democrats hate America and u guys voted for Biden whose racist sexist and demented he’s destroying the USA u douchebag.
U democrats are sanctimonious hypocritical douchebags and trump abd his supporters are not racist or xenophobic or Inserrectionists u dolt I hope the capitol is stormed again it belongs to us abd we have a right to storm it and hold these politicians accountable
I could have not said it better myself! Why is it when a Christian stands up for what they believe it’s a problem. I am a Christian, I have family and friends that are in that category. I don’t judge. I may not agree with their lifestyle but it’s their lifestyle. Only God can judge!
Jojo, hunny, put your big girl panties on and move along. Don’t worry about anyone else’s beliefs. Not everyone believes the same.
This whole situation really is not about Candace at all (God is using her for His glory) it’s about dragging Christians through the gutter, persecution. If you look back to original sin (Adam/Eve) Satan tempted them, they fell for it and here we are today. Satan also tempted Jesus now it’s our turn. Persecution is on the rise in America (look up Torben Søndergaard) and you will understand what I’m talking about. Satan no longer slithers around slyly on his belly he is boldly on display in our culture today through Hollywood, politics, schools and music. Am I, are you ready to stand boldly against Satan to display the Truth of God’s Word with love in the midst of persecution?
I agree. Satan is proudly among us. And you’re thrilled to be voting for him.
Yea joe Biden is Satan and u dumb dems are thrilled to be voting for that pig
Imagine being such a proud smoothbrained yokel that you actually believe Christians face persecution in the US in 2023. You cultists literally run the entire country, and you’re all so desperate to experience victimhood that you try to manifest it in every opportunity.
Ur so stupid imagine being such a dumbass smooth brained libtard that you actually believe the lgbt ppl face persecution in the USA in 2023 you cultists literally are everywhere u even get a month and have ur dumb parades yet ur such hypocrites that u are so desperate to think ur oppressed. Also why can’t the other side have an opinion but u pigs can. U lgbt cultists literally run the entire country
You guys are so desperate to be victims u idiot
