Candace Cameron Bure is reacting to allegations of homophobic behavior on the set of Fuller House from guest star Miss Benny.

The 47-year-old actress played DJ Tanner in the ’90s sitcom Full House and reprised her role in the Netflix spinoff series.

While she was not specified by name, fans believed that Miss Benny appeared to be calling out Candace in a TikTok that referenced one of the Tanner sisters on the show.

In the clip, the actress claimed that the Tanner sister attempted to get her character removed, as it was the first gay character in the franchise’s history. She also alluded to being made to feel unwelcome by the unnamed actress.

Candace issued a statement, replying to several points brought up.

“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,” Candace told ET. “Fuller House has always welcomed a wide range of characters.”

She continued, noting that the pair didn’t appear together on camera, meaning that they “didn’t get a chance to talk much while filming.”

“I thought Miss Benny did a great job as ‘Casey’ on the show,” she said, adding, “I wish Miss Benny only the best.”

This is not the first time that Candace has been called out by a younger celebrity.
