Jodie Sweetin tries to be as amicable as possible when she runs into Candace Cameron Bure after the former “Full House” co-stars had a falling out.
“We just exist in different worlds, but she is still someone I have known since I was 5 years old,” Sweetin said in Monday’s episode of the “Vault” podcast.
“It’s like family members. 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. I am not going to not hug you, but I’m also not going to not keep my mouth shut. … I’ll be nice, but I will not be quiet.”
While Sweetin, 43, insisted she and Cameron Bure, 49, have “never actually gotten into it” despite being “on a divergent path,” their opposing views are no secret.
In 2022, Cameron Bure left her longtime gig at Hallmark Channel for a new network, Great American Media, which she infamously boasted keeps “traditional marriage at the core” as opposed to featuring gay couples.
Sweetin, a vocal LGBTQIA+ advocate, subsequently backed an Instagram post calling Cameron Bure’s comments “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people,” prompting the former “The View” co-host to unfollow her on the app.
Sweetin pointed out in Monday’s interview that she still follows Cameron Bure despite the snub.
“I’m not gonna unfollow anybody!” she said. “I don’t live my life based on social media. I think it can be used for some great things, and I also think it can be really negative and full of a lot of s–t, particularly these days.”
Sweetin added, “If people I do know unfollow me because of what I passionately believe in, then we are just very different people.”
Sweetin reignited the drama last year when she defended drag queens appearing at the Olympics in Paris — shortly after Cameron Bure called the performance “disgusting.”
However, Sweetin insisted on “The Vault” that her supportive post was “not an intentional dig.”
Sweetin and Cameron Bure played sisters Stephanie and D.J. Tanner, respectively, on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995 and reprised their roles in “Fuller House” from 2016 to 2020.
