Sweetin on Bure: 'We Sit Opposite Sides'
4 Mar
Summary
- Jodie Sweetin discussed political differences with Candace Cameron Bure.
- Bure's conservative stance led to controversy with Great American Family.
- Sweetin pledged film profits to LGBTQ+ organizations.
Jodie Sweetin has openly discussed the significant political and ideological divide she shares with her former "Full House" co-star, Candace Cameron Bure. The actresses, who played sisters Stephanie and D.J. Tanner, now find themselves on opposite sides of various social issues.
This divergence became particularly prominent following Bure's appointment as chief creative officer of Great American Family (GAF) in the fall of 2022. GAF's stated commitment to 'traditional marriage' has led to controversy and concerns about the network's inclusivity, especially regarding LGBTQ+ representation.
Sweetin, a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, has expressed her commitment to equality. When a movie she starred in, "Craft Me a Romance," was sold to GAF, she voiced her disappointment. She clarified that actors often lack control over such sales.
In response, Sweetin announced her decision to donate any potential future profits from "Craft Me a Romance" to LGBTQ+ organizations, underscoring her ongoing dedication to supporting the community.
