JoJo Siwa is reflecting on her “very public beef” with Candace Cameron Bure.
The “Dance Moms” alum, 21, devoted the latest episode of her “JoJo Siwa Now” podcast to naming people she would never have as guests on her show, one of which was the “Full House” star she has said was rude to her.
“Honestly, no real shade anymore to Cameron, I just wouldn’t have her on my podcast, you know what I mean?” she said, adding, “If I saw her, I would just not say hi.”
The public feud began in 2022 when Siwa, in a viral TikTok, flashed a picture of Bure when prompted to name the rudest celebrity she has met.
Bure subsequently said she was “shocked” by Siwa’s TikTok in an Instagram video. The “Full House” actress said she called Siwa and they had a “great conversation,” during which Siwa explained that Bure once declined to take a picture with her at a premiere.
On her podcast, Siwa said she didn’t mean for her TikTok to go viral but doubled down on the fact that Bure was the rudest celebrity she has met, saying it’s “fine” but that the actress “wasn’t nice to me as a kid.” She said she initially felt bad about calling Bure out “because we do have some mutual friends,” but subsequently had a change of heart.

“Then I found out some things about Candace that I was like, wait, this actually is pretty valid,” Siwa said. “I found out some shady things that she has done and some shady organizations that she has worked with.”
Siwa specifically took issue with Bure controversially telling The Wall Street Journal that the Great American Family network, where she serves as chief content officer, would “keep traditional marriage at the core” when asked if the channel would make holiday movies starring same-sex couples. Bure later said she has “great love and affection for all people” and that it “absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone.”

Siwa said on the podcast that Bure’s comments “stung” the LGBTQ+ community, adding that it’s “hard” when people with large platforms say things like that.
The “Guilty Pleasure” singer previously spoke about the feud with Bure on “The Viall Files” podcast last year and said the actress’ comments about LGBTQ Christmas movies “got to me a little bit.”
“After that, it gave me a little sense of like, ‘OK, you and her are never going to agree, you and her are never going to be friends, you and her are never going to get along,'” Siwa said. “I’m never going to be able to change her, she’s not going to be able to change me. We can both just live life, we can both just have fun.”
She added, “I wish she was able to be a little more open, a little more accepting. I’m OK with calling her out in the way that I did. For a while I regretted it, but after I found out that article about her not wanting anything to do with LGBTQIA, that’s my people. And I’ve got to stand up for my people, and that’s messed up.”
