Candace Cameron Bure is clearing the air about her interests on social media, even if it leaves fans “disappointed”.
On Thursday, the Fuller House star and mother of three took a minute to respond to various messages she had received about her social media activity. “I read a lot of comments from people … people who were disappointed – or told me they were leaving me to follow – because of the people I chose to follow on Instagram, ”she said in her stories.
Cameron Bure added: “It is always strange for me because I follow a very wide range of people – politically, within my work industry, and personal friends and things I like, but following does not mean endorsement. Following does not mean I agree with everything they say and do. It just means that I follow a wide range of people to get a perspective. “
The star, with 4.7 million followers, signs only about 1,000 accounts, including that of President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Melania Trump and Michelle and Barack Obama, along with a number of celebrities.
Cameron Bure, a proud Christian who always reads the Bible aloud on social media, continued: “I want to know what’s going on in the world. I want to hear different sides of the argument. I follow people in entertainment that I don’t necessarily agree with or act the same way, but I want to hear what our society, what culture is offering. And it helps me even more, to know who I am and find my answers and to know the truth … so remember that following on Instagram or Twitter is not like endorsements … ”
The author, whose book Playful Candace Puppy debuting on Tuesday, said his approach was “healthier”, adding: “This is how I browse social media … But I’m also not an argumentative person in that sense, so if I read things I disagree with, and even if it’s politically … I go left and right, but it doesn’t make my blood boil. ”
Although openly guided by faith, the first Eyesight the co-host promised to limit political debates outside her home. “Not because I don’t believe my views and opinions are important, but I prefer to share Jesus with people,” she explained in an interview with Fox News in September. “This is really my passion. And I don’t want to enter the political debate because it is just about division and separation. And I want to learn. I want to be [part of] a conversation about how to build a bridge. “
However, Cameron Bure spoke in December after his older brother and exGrowing Pains Kirk Cameron was criticized for organizing three prayer events with optional masks that defied the order to stay at home in California. Cameron, who that month attended a conservative event at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, insisted that the Christmas events symbolized hope.
When Cameron Bure found herself dragged by association, she tweeted, “I didn’t participate in any recent caroling events. In addition, I choose to follow the more general guidelines, wearing a mask and social distance when I am in public. However, I don’t appreciate the vile tweets about my family. I believe that respectful dialogue is the key to being heard. Stay safe.”
