Jojo Siwa listed people she will never allow on her podcast. Unsurprisingly, Candace Cameron Bure is one of them and probably at the top of the list. Jojo Siwa made this known during a recent episode of her podcast, Jojo Siwa Now.
The 21-year-old singer and dancer announced this following a long-running disagreement with Bure. Siwa and Bure clashed after a social media post in which Siwa lamented Bure’s behavior at a show.
In a TikTok post, Jojo Siwa tagged Bure as the “rudest celebrity” she’s ever met. “To me, personally, the rudest celebrity I’d ever met was Candace Cameron,” said Jojo Siwa on the controversial TikTok post.
“She wasn’t nice to me when I met her,” the dancer added. “That doesn’t mean she’s an awful rude person,” she continued. “That just means that she was the rudest that I ever met.” The incident reportedly took place when Siwa was 11. Afterward, Bure, 48, called Siwa to clarify issues and make peace.

What Caused the Rift Between Jojo Siwa and Candace Cameron Bure?
After their settlement, fans were relieved that the two celebrities were friends again. Unfortunately, another issue sparked a second round of disagreement between them. This time, Bure made some comments regarding the LGBTQ community in November 2022. Specifically, the comments were regarding same-sex marriage.
Bure was answering a question concerning the portrayal of same-sex couples on screen. She answered by implying that same-sex marriage wasn’t healthy and that her new TV network, the Great American Family, “will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
She further praised the company for its efforts in promoting “faith programming and good family entertainment” while referring to them as “Christians that love the Lord.”
How Did Jojo Siwa Feel About Candace Cameron Bure’s Comments?

“This is rude and harmful to a whole community of people,” she added. Siwa continued the criticism on her podcast. In one episode, she said that she believed Bure’s words implied that “traditional American marriage is not LGBTQ marriage” and that “she didn’t want to publicize” same-sex marriage.
“Whether she meant to do that or not, she still did it, and it still stung the community,” Jojo Siwa wrote. “Of course, you know, we’re doing all this work to be more visible and out there for kids in the next generation to feel more normal.”
