American artist JoJo Siwa has openly criticized actor Candace Cameron Bure for her "traditional marriage" comment. The 19-year-old wrote an Instagram post voicing her disappointment over an interview Candace gave to Wall Street Journal.

In her interview with WSJ, the former “Full House” was asked whether the Great American Family, the channel she is associated with, would include LGBTQ+ storylines. Replying to the question, Candace said that the channel would keep "traditional marriage" at the core.

JoJo shared a headline snap that indicated the cable channel wanted "no gays". The young singer/dancer was outraged and wrote that Candace’s comments were rude and hurtful to an entire community. JoJo said she couldn’t believe that Candace not only made a movie excluding the LGBTQIA+ but also spoke about it to the press.
