Candace Cameron Bure lets ‘God’ defend her against trolls

Star of “Full House” Candace Cameron Bure recently opened up about her new strategy for defending herself against online critics and trolls.

After becoming embroiled in scandals over the past few years due to some of her stances on social and political issues, the Netflix and Hallmark star said she is no longer interested in defending herself against the noise.

During an appearance on Madison Prewett’s podcast, “Stay True,” Candace Cameron Bure explained exactly why she adopted this new framework.

Bure may be the lovable DJ Tanner on “Full House,” but her real life has been a topic of discussion more than once over the years, particularly during her time on “The View,” where she spoke openly about polarizing issues.

Bure’s stances on issues such as traditional family values ​​and American politics have sparked some reactions from major celebrities, including JoJo Siwa and her “Full House” co-star Jodi Sweetin.

However, Bure certainly does not consider some of these encounters to be quarrels. In fact, she claimed they were downright “just weird.”

Bure has been criticized online several times, and it’s rare to see her applauding.

“I don’t usually fight back in comments because nothing really comes of it,” she told Prewett. “I feel like when you fight back in the comments, it becomes defensive. I feel like the more people defend themselves, the less integrity they have.”

According to Bure, she has now entered a space in which she lets “God fight my battles…online.”

And God isn’t the only one the 49-year-old relies on to defend her against criticism.

“I also let other people who are true fans fight for me too,” she said. “Because sometimes they come in and say, ‘She’s not doing that. That’s not what she meant by that.’ And so I’m like, ‘You can do this.'”

Elsewhere during the podcast, Bure admitted that it takes immense faith and “self-control” to ignore some of the hate that sometimes fills one’s social media feeds.

“You say to yourself, ‘God, I just have to let this go because I’m not going to please everyone, and just help me make my way that honors and pleases You as best I can. Help me learn and discern,'” she said. “This is the most important thing.”

Bure also admitted that her introspection helped her learn to give “grace” to others as well.

“I pray that the Holy Spirit gives me self-control every day, especially in these situations, because it’s brutal because you can’t win,” she said.

Bure has certainly had her share of public arguments, and the one that stunned netizens the most was with “Dance Moms” alum JoJo Siwa.

Years ago, Siwa made a TikTok video criticizing the “Fuller House” star for allegedly being rude to her when she was a child.

The two eventually spoke and Siwa expressed regret for her video until she claimed to have learned about “shady things she did and shady organizations she worked with.”

Siwa was referring to Bure’s stance on “traditional marriage,” which she said would remain a priority at the Great American Family network, where she serves as chief content officer.

“Honestly, no real shade for Cameron anymore, I just wouldn’t have him on my podcast, you know what I mean?” Siwa said. “If I saw her, I just wouldn’t say hello.”
