The 'Dance Moms' alum reflects on her public dispute with the 'Fuller House' actress and her decision to hold her accountable for her anti-LGBTQIA+ comments.

AceShowbiz - JoJo Siwa, the energetic performer known for her vibrant personality and colorful bows, recently opened up about the people she would never invite on her popular iHeartRadio podcast "JoJo Siwa Now". Among the names on her no-go list is Candace Cameron Bure, the "Full House" alum.

In a podcast episode, Siwa recalled their initial disagreement in July 2022, when she labeled Bure "the rudest celebrity" she had ever met. While Siwa initially regretted her public shade, her sentiments changed after learning about Bure's affiliation with organizations that have excluded the LGBTQIA+ community.

Siwa expressed disappointment at Bure's November 2022 statement regarding her intentions to prioritize "traditional marriage" in her partnership with the Great American Family channel. She felt Bure's words implied that LGBTQIA+ marriages were not valid and denied their existence in society.

Despite Bure's apology, Siwa stated that she no longer wished to welcome her on her podcast. She explained, "I just wouldn't have her on my podcast. ... If I saw her, I would just not say hi."

Siwa remains resolute in her belief that it's essential to use her platform to advocate for equality and visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community. She supports GLAAD's offer for Bure to have a dialogue about the issue.

"I think that Candace having a conversation with GLAAD would be not only eye-opening to Candace but eye-opening to a whole world of people who might have those same beliefs," Siwa said.

Siwa is committed to being a voice for those who have been marginalized. She believes that authenticity and standing up for her beliefs, even if they are unpopular, can create positive change.

"I'm starting to realize what an impact I really do get to have," Siwa said. "I am learning that I have a chance to use my voice, use my platform for something good and to change the world for the better."
