Speaking her truth. Candace Cameron Bure opened up about the challenges of “cancel culture” after sharing her controversial reasoning behind leaving Hallmark Channel for Great American Media.
“Cancel culture is real, and it’s difficult, and it’s hard,” Cameron Bure, 46, said during the Wednesday, February 8, episode of the “Unapologetic With Julia Jeffress Sadler” podcast. “It’s hard, no matter what. Especially when you are a compassionate person and you have a heart for people. … It’s important that we don’t back down.”
While Cameron Bure admitted that there are “places in the world where people get severely persecuted for their faith,” she still doesn’t always feel like she can “speak her truth” openly.
“There are some days where I want to move to Texas,” the Full House alum, who is a California resident, quipped to host Julia Jeffress Sadler.
The Christmas Town actress made headlines in November 2022 when she revealed her motive for exiting Hallmark.“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 at the time. “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.”
When asked if GAC had plans to include LGBTQIA+ movies in their programming, Cameron Bure replied, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
CEO Bill Abbott, meanwhile, told the outlet that the network is “aware of the trends” in 2022 but there’s “no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.’”
After receiving backlash for the controversial remarks, the former View cohost defended herself in a statement later

Every Bravo-holic has their “Real Housewives” city of choice, but the most loyal devotees don’t play favorites. Just this week, Lukas Gage from “The White Lotus” said in an interview that they’re “all beautiful in different ways” after being asked which series is his favorite. According to Gage, New Jersey is “unhinged”; New York is “classy”; Beverly Hills is the “O.G.” “Real Housewives” fans also know that different cities will usher in high levels of drama every year. Salt Lake City, for example, inarguably offered the most entertainment value last year. The 90-minute episode that sees Jen Shah go on the run as the police show up to arrest her might have been one of the best episodes of TV all year. The former reality star has now been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for fraud.

for the liberal outlet Salon, Cross complained about certain comedians who are trying to brand themselves as heroes of “free speech” by railing against cancel culture.He specifically mentioned comedians who make jokes about “trans people,” a dig that seem directed at comedians Dave Chappelle and Bill Maher, who have courted controversy for not pulling their comedic punches against the LGBTQ community. Cross stated they should just drop their cancel culture fight and stop with the jokes that hurt “hundreds of thousands of people.”During the latest episode of “Salon Talks,” the “Arrested Development” star and anti-Trump stand-up comic took aim at his colleagues, saying, “All the comics b—- and moan about, you know, ‘they’re trying to cancel me for this joke I made.’ Most of the time it’s a nothing joke and it doesn’t matter.”Further belittling comedians’ fight against cancel culture, Cross stated, “And now you are positioning yourself as this bulls— voice of ‘They’re not going to cancel me. You can’t silence me.’ For what? Your dumb joke that about trans people? Who gives a s—?”He continued, asking, “I mean, is it that important to you? Just move on and not hurt, you know, hundreds of thousands of people.”Cross’ dismissive account of certain comedians dealing with cancel culture seemed to overlook the consequences stemming from Dave Chappelle’s anti-trans jokes for instance. Chappelle’s jokes have prompted venues to cancel his stand up shows last minute and resulted in Netflix employees striking at company headquarters to get the streaming platform to remove his specials.Chappelle was even attacked during one of his L.A.
