JoJo Siwa: A ‘rough experience’ with Candace Cameron Bure led to viral TikTok
JoJo Siwa detailed her “rough experience” with Candace Cameron Bure after calling the “Full House” alum the “rudest celebrity” she’s met in a viral TikTok video.
“You know, I had a rough experience when I was little,” Siwa, 19, said Tuesday in a video obtained by Page Six exclusively. “I was 11, and I was a big, big fan, and I wanted to take a picture with her, and it wasn’t a good time for her.”
But the YouTuber made sure to note that even though the interaction was not great, it was not a reflection of Cameron Bure’s character.
“I will say because I had a bad experience, that doesn’t mean that she is an awful human,” Siwa said. “I think it just was an inconvenient time for her, and little 11-year-old me was just so pumped up and so excited, but that doesn’t mean she’s the worst human ever.”
The former “Dance Moms” star added, “It just, you know, it was a rough experience for me.”
Siwa’s unlikely feud with the former “Fuller House” star, 46, began when she shared a TikTok video Sunday naming Cameron Bure as the “rudest celebrity” she has ever met.
At first, Cameron Bure seemingly reacted by posting a cryptic Bible verse on her Instagram Story.
“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock,” read the quote she posted from Isaiah 26:4.
The actress’ 23-year-old daughter, Natasha, also took to social media amid the drama to call her mom the “coolest.”
Cameron Bure finally addressed the incident directly Tuesday — and even apologized to Siwa. She explained that as a mother, she felt even crummier for likely hurting Siwa’s mom’s feelings at the time.
Cameron Bure also expressed how powerful and harmful words can be, saying, “Even a 10-second trending TikTok video can do damage because our words matter and our actions matter.”
Tori Spelling has since praised Cameron Bure for saying sorry to Siwa, calling the apology an “inspiration.”
“You are officially my spirit animal!” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum, 49, commented on her friend’s apology video on Instagram. “So eloquently put. I’m sitting here crying watching this video. Rings soooooo true. You are truly an inspiration! Love u. Xo.”
Meanwhile, Cameron Bure’s late “Full House” co-star Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, called the ordeal “crazy.”
