Candace Cameron Bure Prefers To Let 'Genuine Fans' Handle The Haters For Her These Days

Candace Cameron Bure is no stranger to controversy, but she's done trying to defend herself. These days, she's leaving it up to her fans to fight her battles if and when they see fit, and keeping her focus on the people she knows in real life. 

There is no shortage of celebs who can't stand Cameron Bure, and over the years, she's had a number of very public feuds, many stemming from comments made during her time on "The View" and a 2022 statement to The Wall Street Journal about moving to Hallmark's controversial competitor, Great American Family, which would keep "traditional marriage at the core" of their programming (via Deadline). In response to the furor over the latter, Cameron Bure issued a statement on Instagram, writing, "It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone." However, that wouldn't be her only controversy, and she also faced a ton of criticism from her more conservative fans after she posted a video of herself dancing with a Bible in 2021. Many said it seemed as though she was trying to look seductive while doing so, which led to Cameron Bure responding in another video that it hadn't been her intention. 

Cameron Bure's approach has changed, though. During a 2025 appearance on "Stay True Podcast," she shared, "I let God fight my battles a lot online." She also went on to chuckle, "I also let the other people who are genuine fans fight my battles for me too, because sometimes they come in and they're just like ... 'She doesn't do that, that's not what she meant by that.'" Ultimately, she said, she knew she'd never get everyone's approval. "There has to be a point in your life where you just let it go," she said.

Candace Cameron Bure's comments on "Stay True Podcast" about letting God and her fans respond to her haters on social media came after the host asked if she'd ever faced backlash from all sides online. "Um, all the time!" Cameron Bure replied. She went on to credit her faith for stopping her from responding, though, noting, "It takes self-control, and I pray the Holy Spirit gives me self-control every day, especially in those situations, because it feels brutal, because you can't win. You can't please both sides. You just can't."

Cameron Bure specifically mentioned times her conservative Christian audience called her out, not just in the aforementioned Bible video but also after she'd shared content using songs by artists deemed "Bad" in the background. In those instances, she said, people in the entertainment world often loved what she was putting out, but her stricter fanbase would say that she should know better. "And I'm like, 'Oh. Okay. I didn't know that was a rule. Okay, got it,'" she joked. As for the times fellow entertainers had called her out over the years, Cameron Bure didn't mention JoJo Siwa, Maren Morris and "General Hospital" star Vanessa Marcil by name, but said the experiences had been "meaningful" to her. She also clarified that they hadn't been feuds, at least as far as she was concerned.

All that said, Cameron Bure did say that if people she knew in real life ever flagged things to her, she was more inclined to respond or put out a statement online. "I think there's discernment when you know it's legitimately coming from the people that you know, love and trust, versus the whole internet. You're not going to please the whole internet," she said. She's not wrong, there!
