00:00Candice Cameron Bure has been capturing the hearts of TV fans since the late 80s, but
00:05after offering up some controversial social and political stances in the past few years,
00:10she and her wardrobe have been under some pretty heavy public scrutiny.
00:15In 2017, Bure shared an Instagram post wearing a casual look — dark gray drawstring sweatpants
00:21and a white T-shirt featuring the quote,
00:23"'Not today, Satan.'"
00:24Drag queen Bianca Del Rio previously brought the quote to mainstream pop culture vernacular
00:29after using it in Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and even sold her own merch with the
00:34phrase on it.
00:35"'Not today, Satan.
00:36Not today.'"
00:37Bure likely wore the shirt due to her religious faith, and may have even been unaware of its
00:41pop cultural connections.
00:43Regardless, when Del Rio saw Bure wearing the shirt, she promptly took a screenshot
00:47and posted it with the caption,
00:49"'If only this homophobic Republican knew.'"
00:51Del Rio later shared Bure's comment to her post on Instagram, too.
00:55In response to Del Rio's post, Bure asked the model,
00:58"'Why do you have to be nasty to me?
01:00You don't know me or my heart.
01:02I'm not homophobic and always sad when people think otherwise.
01:05Loving Jesus doesn't mean I hate gay people or anyone.'"
01:08Bure also mentioned how Del Rio's initial post caused her to receive mean comments,
01:13and added,
01:14"'I hope next time you'll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people.
01:18Sending you love and wish you all the best.
01:20Truly, Candice.'"
01:22Bure likely didn't mean to ruffle feathers with her choice of shirt, but based on the
01:25contentious comments she's made about LGBTQ plus issues in the past, it's unsurprising
01:30people weren't happy with her wearing it.
01:33Wedding etiquette is crucial, and in 2021, some felt Bure broke some rules with the dress
01:38she chose to wear to someone's nuptials.
01:40A family photo shared to Instagram in October 2021 featured Candice, her husband Valerie
01:46Bure, her daughter Natasha, and her son Lev in formal wedding attire.
01:51Candice and Natasha's dresses were bright red, and some commenters felt that wasn't
01:55proper.
01:56One person complimented the dresses, but said they wouldn't personally go for red in that
02:00instance, writing,
02:01"'You were supposed to let the bride stand out.
02:03It looks as though you were drawing attention to yourself.'"
02:06The same commenter went on to criticize the men's outfits, since their pants showed bare
02:10ankles without socks.
02:12They also called the entire Bure family beautiful and sent their best wishes for the celebration.
02:17Another commenter said,
02:18"'Bride' is the star, not the guests.
02:21Pretty dresses, yes, but not your moment.
02:23Disable comments if you want a one-sided opinion with a heart-like."
02:27Based on reporting by Life & Style magazine, it seems Candice may have deleted other negative
02:31comments about her family's looks that she initially replied to in defense of their fits.
02:37The role Bure is likely most known for is DJ Tanner from Full House and Fuller House.
02:42She portrayed the character initially from 1987 to 1995, and then again from 2016 to
02:482020 for the reboot.
02:50When she shared a photo posing on set with her Fuller House co-stars in 2016, fans of
02:54hers weren't too pleased with the short piece she was wearing.
02:57It was black with a lace v-neck and nude cutouts on the sides.
03:01Notably, the look was a costume, and an outfit even her character DJ felt unsure about wearing.
03:06"'I don't know why she'd be tugging this thing down or pulling it up.'"
03:11Despite it not being one of Bure's own outfits, that didn't stop the backlash.
03:15One fan commented,
03:16"'I thought she stands for Christian values.'"
03:19Another echoed a similar sentiment before adding,
03:21"'This makes me so sad.
03:23I can't let my kids watch this.
03:25Is this how you dress?'
03:26Bure ended up removing the post from her Instagram account, though a record of the outfit will
03:31live on for as long as Fuller House is available for streaming.
03:35In 2023, the Barbie movie swept the nation, and many fans dressed up in pink Barbie-like
03:40looks to see the film.
03:42Bure joined in on the fun in August 2023, sharing a throwback post on Instagram of herself
03:47and her Aurora Teagarden Mysteries co-star Mary Lou Henner, in doll-like looks.
03:52The woman stood in front of small pink Barbie doll boxes and wore workout gear fit for everyone's
03:57favorite fashion doll.
03:58Bure's outfit featured a pink push-up bra underneath a bright blue leotard, white tights,
04:03pink leg warmers, pink sweatbands, and a pink scrunchie and belt.
04:07Along with the photo, Bure wrote the caption,
04:09I've suddenly realized that Mary Lou Henner and I barbied before Barbie even barbied."
04:14One person commented, quote,
04:16"...didn't expect this from Candice, but didn't clarify what about the outfit they didn't
04:20like."
04:21Some Christian fans were displeased with Bure's Barbie look because they felt it promoted
04:24a movie with content that went against their religion.
04:27As one commenter wrote,
04:29"...are you supporting the Barbie movie with this timely picture?
04:32The movie does not support Christian values."
04:35In reply to a different comment claiming the photo was taken before the Barbie movie, Bure
04:39clarified when they dressed up in their Barbie best, saying she and Henner had donned the
04:43outfits all the way back in 2020 while quarantine was still in effect.
04:47She didn't say anything else in the post about her feelings on the Barbie film.
