In the latest episode of “As the JoJo Turns,” JoJo Siwa took us on a nostalgic trip down Drama Lane, revisiting her highly publicized squabble with Candace Cameron Bure. Buckle up — this ride is about to get wilder than a unicorn on a rollercoaster!
For those who missed the initial episode of this reality soap opera, here’s a quick recap: In 2022, 21-year-old pop sensation JoJo Siwa dubbed 48-year-old Full House star Candace as the “rudest celebrity” she’d ever encountered. Yes, it was like the Oscars, but with less glamour and more shade.
The feud simmered down for a bit, only to boil over again when Candace made headlines for her love of “traditional marriage” at Great American Family. Picture it like this: Candace was serving up marriage nostalgia, and JoJo was out here mixing cocktails of sass.
During a recent episode of JoJo Siwa Now (which is basically where pop culture and drama collide like two over-caffeinated squirrels), JoJo let it rip about why Candace isn’t getting an invite to her podcast. Spoiler alert: It’s not because there’s a limit on guests.
“It was honestly a total accident,” JoJo said, looking as innocent as a puppy who just ate your homework. “I didn’t mean for it to explode like that.”
JoJo went on to clarify, “To me, Candace was the rudest celebrity I’d ever met. It’s not like she’s the absolute rudest person ever, just the rudest one I’ve personally encountered. I mean, come on, it’s all about perspective, right?”
She then had a moment of remorse, reflecting on their mutual acquaintances, kind of like when you accidentally step on someone’s toe and then offer them a cookie to make amends.
“But then I discovered some juicy tidbits about Candace,” JoJo revealed with a twinkle of mischief in her eye. “Like some shady stuff and some sketchy organizations she’s been involved with. It was like finding out your favorite ice cream has been replaced with kale.”
JoJo reassured us that Candace was actually pretty sweet about the whole mess, but she couldn’t let it slide when Candace took a jab at gay marriage.
“It’s totally cool to make a movie about straight marriage—that’s as normal as pineapple on pizza,” JoJo said. “But saying gay marriage isn’t traditional? That’s like saying unicorns don’t belong in fairy tales. Not okay.”
So, where does this leave the dynamic duo? “No real beef with Cameron anymore,” JoJo declared with a smile. “I just wouldn’t invite her to my podcast. And if I saw her on the street, I’d just give her the polite nod—like, ‘Hey, I see you, but I’m not gonna say hi.’”
