Jodie Sweetin "disappointed" to learn her movie was sold to Candace Cameron Bure's TV network
The former Full House and Fuller House stars have allegedly been at odds over Bure's statements about "traditional marriage"
Jodie Sweetin has expressed her surprise and “disappointment” that a recent independent romantic comedy she filmed had been sold to Great American Media, People reports—which is, as it happens, the media company that employs her old Full House co-star Candace Cameron Bure as its chief content officer. The disagreement between the two isn’t just delayed (and fictitious) sibling rivalry, either: Sweetin is a long-time advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, while Bure drew heavy controversy last year after she gave a Wall Street Journal interview in which she said Great American wanted to “keep traditional marriage at the core” of its movies. (Despite Bure’s occasional protestations, the comments were largely seen as a swipe at Hallmark Channel, where she’d reigned as “Queen Of Christmas” for more than a decade, and which has, over the last several years, been increasingly mindful about including gay and nonbinary characters and performers in its productions.)
