Full House’s Jodie Sweetin joined “The Moment” podcast, where she addressed she and former co-star Candace Cameron Bure’s very different political stances. Cameron Bure and Sweetin played on-screen sisters DJ and Stephanie Tanner respectively on Full House from 1987 to 1995 and later in the show’s reboot, Fuller House, which ran from 2016 to 2020. During the time in between, Cameron Bure has become an outspoken Christian and supporter of life and traditional marriage. Sweetin has gone the other way, being an LGBTQ+ advocate and has declared that she is “not a Christian.” “She was the closest thing I had to a sister. We fought like sisters, even when we were kids, that’s the relationship we had,” Sweetin told the podcast, addressing Cameron Bure.  “Candace’s faith, to be quite honest, has always been at the forefront for her, and I have zero problem with that.”

The two have remained supportive of one another throughout the years, with Sweetin referring to Cameron Bure as her “big sis” on social media and Cameron Bure attending Sweetin’s wedding to Mescal Wasilewski in August 2022. Their opposing views appeared to put them at odds later that year, however, after Cameron Bure announced she was leaving the Hallmark channel after working with the network for more than a decade. Cameron Bure announced she was leaving to join the new Great American Family Network (GAFN). Cameron Bure’s departure was notable as it aligned with Hallmark’s new commitment to add LGBTQ+ storylines. In an interview after her departure from Hallmark, Cameron Bure stated GAFN would “keep traditional marriage at the core.

LGBTQ+ advocates blasted Cameron Bure, including former child star JoJo Siwa, who had been feuding with Cameron Bure previously after claiming she was the “rudest celebrity” she’d ever met. Sweetin posted in support of Siwa, writing, “You know I love you.” Soon after, Cameron Bure stopped following Sweetin on social media. During the 2024 Summer Olympics, Cameron Bure criticized the event’s opening ceremony, claiming its apparent attempt to recreate the Last Supper was an attempt to “mock Christianity.” Sweetin appeared to clap back at Bure, sharing a post from activist shared a post from activist Matt Bernstein which stated, “The drag queens at the Olympics were recreating the feast of Dionysus, not the Last Supper. And even if you thought it was a Christian reference — what’s the harm? Why is it a ‘parody’ and not a tribute? Can drag queens not be Christian too?”

On an April episode of “The Vault” podcast, Sweetin addressed some of the apparent controversies between her and Cameron Bure, saying they “never actually got into it” over their opposing views. “She posted her viewpoint and I posted mine. We’ve always been very different on those things,” she said. “Candace and I – we just live very different lifestyles. We just exist in sort of very different worlds, but she is still someone I have known since I was 5 years old. It’s like family members, where you’re like, maybe we don’t talk all the time — and I know if politics come up, it is not going to go well — but I don’t hate you,” she continued. “I am not going to not hug you, but I am also not gonna keep my mouth shut.”

During her appearance on “The Moment,” Sweetin did appear somewhat skeptical of Cameron Bure’s claims that she loves “all people,” despite supporting traditional marriage. “I do know that I don’t think you can truly love people if you don’t respect them. I think if you don’t respect people enough to allow them the same rights of marriage, of bodily autonomy and all those things, then I don’t think that you can truly love someone,” she insisted. “It’s some sort of weird pity, and it’s not love. For me, standing up to say that how we treat other humans because they’re different from us is completely unacceptable. And I’m pretty sure that is what Jesus would’ve said, but what do I know? I’m not a Christian.”
