Miss Benny Suggests Candace Cameron Bure Tried to Delete Queer 'Fuller House' Character

Actress and cable channel exec Candace Cameron Bure says that, despite "Fuller House" guest star and trans actress Miss Benny's claims, she did not try to delete Miss Benny's queer character from the Netflix show when she appeared in two episodes in 2018, UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported.

Miss Benny – who has gone on to star in the new Netflix comedy "Glamorous" opposite Kim Cattrall – "claimed in a new TikTok that writers and producers told her Bure, 47, was 'very publicly' anti-LGBTQ and hellbent on having the character removed," the Mail relayed.

Miss Benny "also alleged that Bure never spoke to her on set of the Full House reboot and that she was warned she could be targeted by the star's right-wing fans," the news outlet went on to add.

The Daily Mail also noted that Miss Benny "did not speak Bure's name but did include it as a hashtag in the video."

"The fact that this teenage actor who's coming in to make jokes about wearing, like, a scarf is suddenly a target from, like, an adult is crazy to me," Miss Benny says in the video, before saying that the upsides of the gig included having "a really fun time, actually, shooting the show with all the other actors who were willing to talk to me."

The article added that Miss Benny "expressed to her followers that it 'continuously blows my mind how queer people, specifically queer young adults and children, are being targeted and having to advocate for themselves against adults.'"

Bure denied Miss Benny's assertions.

"In a statement shared exclusively with DailyMail.com, Bure insisted that she 'never asked Miss Benny's character to be removed' and 'did not ask the writers, producers or studio executives to not have queer characters on the show,'" the article continued.

"'We didn't share any scenes together," Bure said, "so we didn't get a chance to talk much while filming on set."

"I wish Miss Benny only the best."

"The controversy comes less than a year after Bure was branded a 'bigot' for her views regarding 'traditional marriage,'" the Mail said.

As previously reported, Bure, who serves as chief creative officer for cable channel Great American Family, told the Wall Street Journal late last year that she wanted the channel's holiday movies to "tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them" – and that also ignore same-sex attraction, love, and coupledom.

"I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core," Bure told the WSJ, marking a contrast between Great American Family and previous employer, Hallmark Channel, which Bure left. Hallmark had undergone "a change of leadership" she said – which some took to mean she disagreed with the channel beginning to allow holiday movies the featured same-sex romance.

"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," Bure told the WSJ.

When she faced backlash over her remarks last year, Bure suggested that the controversy was being manufactured by the media.

"To the members of the media responsible for using this opportunity to fan flames of conflict and hate, I have a simple message: I love you anyway," the cable channel exec stated. "To those who hate what I value and who are attacking me online: I love you. To those who have tried to assassinate my character: I love you."

"To everyone reading this, of any race, creed, sexuality, or political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling, I love you."
