Jodie Sweetin has no issues with former Full House sister Candace Cameron Bure even if they sit on opposite sides of the political aisle.
“[Individuals often] pit me and Candace against each other, and the thing is, at the end of the day, her name has never come out of my mouth,” Sweetin, 44, said on the Tuesday, April 21, episode of the “McBride Rewind” podcast. “This is just who I am and what I believe, and if that isn’t something we share, cool. I’m not going to change anything, [and] I can still have a relationship with her where I can hug her when I see her.”
She continued, “I love her. I don’t want bad things to happen to her. I will respect her, and her ability to do whatever. But I’m a loud bitch that just disagrees with a lot of things, and that’s who I am. That’s totally OK.”
Sweetin and Cameron Bure, 50, played sisters Stephanie and DJ Tanner on Full House from 1987 to 1995, later reprising their roles on Netflix’s Fuller House. In the years since the sitcom ended, Sweetin has been incredibly outspoken about supporting numerous political causes including Black Lives Matter, reproductive freedom and LGBTQIA+ rights. Cameron Bure, for her part, has never publicly shared her political ideologies but remains grounded in her conservative Christian faith.
“I don’t think we hang out in too many of the same places [and] we do pretty different things and that’s OK,” Sweetin stressed. “She does her, I do me and that’s just who we have always been.”
According to Sweetin, she would also “joke with” Cameron Bure on the set of Fuller House.
“[I would] poke at her about stuff,” Sweetin quipped. “I don’t hate you, [but] we just don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things that I find important, and that’s OK. I’m going to go out in the streets and [say], ‘F*** ICE’ and watch that Bad Bunny show and get out of my chair and be dancing and loving it. It was great, and that’s just the choices that I made.”
Sweetin and Cameron Bure also got into disagreements as child actors on Full House.
“When we were young, we used to fight,” Sweetin recalled on Tuesday’s episode. “She was the baby of her family, and then I came along on this faux family and I was young and cute and sassy and funny and I was an only child, so I was like, ‘Oh my, God, hi let’s be friends,’ and she was just like, ‘You need to go away.’ We fought like sisters, like, it was kind of always like, ‘Oh, she’s so annoying,’ and I was like, ‘I just want to be your friend. Why are you mean to me?’”
