Getty Images Candace Cameron Bure admits she doesn't have thick skin.
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.
