Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Celebs Weigh In on Candace Cameron Bure’s ‘Traditional Marriage’ Remarks
Candace Cameron Bure faced backlash for the controversial reasoning behind her decision to leave Hallmark Channel for Great American Media.
The Fuller House alum made headlines in November 2022 when she opened up about moving networks. “My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” she told The Wall Street Journal’s WSJ. Magazine about her new deal. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”
In response to a question about Great American Media’s potential plans to include LGBTQIA+ movies, Cameron Bure replied, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
Meanwhile, Bill Abbott, who took over Great American Media in 2021 after his departure from Hallmark, also discussed the network’s programming. “It’s certainly the year 2022, so we’re aware of the trends,” he said. “There’s no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.’”
Celebrities including Hilarie Burton Morgan were quick to call out the California native for her comments.
Two days after the initial WSJ interview made headlines, Cameron Bure responded to the backlash with a lengthy statement shared via Instagram. “All of you who know me, know beyond question that I have great love and affection for all people,” she wrote. “It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone. … I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do. If you know me, you know that I am a person who loves fiercely and indiscriminately.”

“Hallmark has created a culture that’s a trickle-down effect from the top. You get somebody like Lisa Hamilton at the top, who replaced Bill Abbott, who’s now making these choices that are affecting the network,” Walker told Vulture in December 2023 about his commitment to Hallmark while reflecting on Cameron Bure’s exit. “That was the intention from the beginning. We want to see the same things you’re talking about — diversity of storytelling. Because things have to evolve.” Craig Barritt/Getty Images for Hallmark Media
Cameron Bure's fellow Great American Media star shared his two cents on the controversy during an interview with Variety. "I feel people should be and believe what they want, as long as they are kind and accepting of others. For those of you who have followed me since 90210, you know my heart and character. No matter who you love, no matter what your race or religion is, you matter. Through mutual respect and acceptance, coexistence is possible," he told the outlet.

“This question is only for Candace Cameron Bure supporters,” the Something Borrowed author wrote via her Instagram Stories. “Would you be OK if Candace said that she wouldn’t be on a network or show that portrayed an interracial couple? Or if she spoke out against people who married outside their race? Serious question. Yes or no? Theoretically, would she be entitled to this opinion, too?” Roger Wong/INFphoto.com
The Good Sam alum slammed Cameron Bure in a series of Instagram Stories, reposting graphics about the minimal representation of LGBTQIA+ characters in holiday movies. "Imagine being this threatened by someone else's love," Bush wrote alongside an image of Cameron Bure. "Imagine being this threatened by someone ELSE'S marriage!! Go to therapy. Deal with your s–t."

The One Tree Hill alum called out Cameron Bure, tweeting, "Bigot. I don’t remember Jesus liking hypocrites like Candy. But sure. Make your money, honey. You ride that prejudice wave all the way to the bank." Burton Morgan added: “Now they’re just openly admitting their bigotry. I called this s–t out years ago when Abbott was at Hallmark. Glad they dumped him. Being LGBTQ isn’t a ‘trend.’ That guy and his network are disgusting. You too Candy. There is nothing untraditional about same-sex couples.” Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock
The podcast host's husband showed his support for Burton Morgan's public criticism. "How’d I miss this twit?! Who the fuck is this person? Hey Hil? You’re awesome. We lucky to have ya. X," the Walking Dead star tweeted. "Wife has words AND timing." Matt Baron/Shutterstock
The Dance Moms alum addressed the controversial comments four months after she alleged that Cameron Bure was the "rudest" celebrity she ever met. “Honestly, I can’t believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with [the] intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press. This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people,” Siwa wrote via Instagram alongside a screenshot of an article about the former View cohost's remarks. Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock

“I love you @candacecbure for continuously choosing Christ before all," the actress' daughter wrote via Instagram amid the backlash. "I applaud you every time for how you handle yourself with the upmost [sic] grace. … You stand firm in faith and never let others dim your light for Him. No matter how out of context or warped the words may get, the enemy will not prevail.” Lisa O'Connor/Shutterstock
“You know what, I wish everybody the best," the Mean Girls alum told Vulture when asked about Cameron Bure's decision to leave Hallmark. “I’m with Hallmark, and I work for them. I’m so sorry, but I’ll just have to leave it at that." Chabert added: "I’ll never abandon what Hallmark means for me, which is that everything is centered around the heart. I don’t think there are any plans for that to change anytime soon.” Faye Sadou/MediaPunch/INSTARimages.com
During an interview, the Mean Girls actor weighed in on Cameron Bure’s decision to leave Hallmark for the programming at Great American Media. "I'm just proud to be part of Hallmark channel that is doing so much inclusive programming like The Holiday Sitter, which is an LGBTQ+ led Christmas movie," the actor, who has appeared in multiple Hallmark films, told E! News. "I'm just so proud to be on Hallmark channel that's making these movies for everyone, because Christmas is for everyone and Hallmark channels are for everyone." CraSH/Shutterstock
