Candace Cameron Bure is firing back after being accused of homophobia. In a new TikTok video, Miss Benny claims Bure attempted to have her removed from "Fuller House." Miss Benny, who was born male and played a gay character named Casey on the show before coming out as transgender last month, never mentioned Bure by name but implied that she did not want a queer character on "Fuller House."

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Candace Cameron Bure is pushing back against an accusation that she asked for a queer character to be removed from “Fuller House,” the “Full House” sequel series that aired for five seasons and 75 episodes on Netflix between 2016 and 2020. Miss Benny, the current star of Netflix’s “Glamorous,” appeared in two episodes of “Fuller House” Season 4 as Casey, the franchise’s first openly queer character. Miss Benny recently posted a TikTok that heavily implied Bure was homophobic behind the scenes of “Fuller House.” One of Miss Benny’s followers asked the star on TikTok, “Fuller house? Who was homophobic was it Candace?” Miss Benny responded in a TikTok that included #candacecure in the video description but did not verbally call her out by name. The actor said “one of the Tanner sisters” was “very publicly not for the girls,” which for many viewers meant either Candace Cameron Bure (who played D.J. Tanner-Fuller) or Jodie Sweetin (who played Stephanie Tanner) were homophobic.
