Jodie Sweetin Sets the Record Straight on Being Pitted Against Candace Cameron Bure Over Beliefs

Jodie Sweetin would like everyone to relax: there is no behind-the-scenes feud with Candace Cameron Bure. Different beliefs? Sure. Drama? Not really.Where they stand nowOn the Tuesday, April 21 episode of the 'McBride Rewind' podcast, Sweetin, 44, said people keep trying to frame her and Cameron Bure as rivals because they sit on opposite political sides. She pushed back on that, noting she does not talk trash about her former TV sister and that if they run into each other, she is perfectly happy to give Candace a hug. 'I love her. I don't want bad things to happen to her. I will respect her... But I'm a loud bitch that just disagrees with a lot of things, and that's who I am. That's totally OK.' Their politics (or not)Sweetin has been loud and clear about what she supports: Black Lives Matter, reproductive freedom, LGBTQIA+ rights — the whole equality toolkit. Cameron Bure, 50, has not publicly laid out her politics, but she has been open about her conservative Christian faith. Sweetin summed it up simply: they do different things, move in different spaces, and that is fine. No conversion tours planned on either side.On-set vibes: then and nowIf you watched them grow up as Stephanie and DJ Tanner on Full House (1987–1995) and later on Netflix 's Fuller House, you might expect some sisterly friction. You'd be right — and it's not new. Sweetin said they bickered as kids: Candace was the baby in her real family, Sweetin was an only child who showed up on this brand-new faux family set wanting to be best friends, and the personalities clashed. Think normal sibling stuff: one rolling her eyes, the other wondering why she was being iced out. As adults on Fuller House, Sweetin said she would tease Cameron Bure about hot-button topics. Not from a place of hate — just straight-up disagreement. In classic Sweetin fashion, she joked that she is the one who would be out chanting 'F*** ICE' and then hitting a Bad Bunny show, dancing in the aisle and loving it. Her words, her vibe.The bottom lineThis is not a TV-sisters-turned-enemies story. It is two women who shared a huge part of their lives, chose different lanes as adults, and can still say hi and hug when they cross paths. You do you, I'll do me — with a side of heartfelt honesty and a little rowdy energy from Sweetin.
