The drama between Candace Cameron Bure and JoJo Siwa is continuing to reach new heights, with Candace’s daughter, Natasha, now weighing in on the whole thing, too.
If you missed it, things heated up between JoJo and Candace this week after, as part of a TikTok trend, the 19-year-old labeled her the “rudest celebrity” she’s ever met.
JoJo didn’t explicitly say anything about Candace in the short video, but instead quickly flashed a photo of the Fuller House actor as the prompt appeared onscreen.
Elsewhere in the TikTok, JoJo revealed that the “nicest” celeb she’d ever met is Miley Cyrus, while also divulging that her “celebrity crush” is Zendaya.
But it was JoJo’s quick dig at Candace that instantly went viral online, which ultimately prompted the Full House alum to fire back with a five-minute video of her own posted to her Instagram page.
Addressing the widespread attention, Candace explained that she’d actually phoned JoJo to talk things out. “I immediately tried to reach out to her through mutual friends, and my publicist contacted her manager, and I DM’d her because I didn’t know what happened — I didn’t know!” she said.
“[JoJo] actually didn’t want to tell me [what had happened] because she said it’s so silly, she felt bad, and that’s why it just wasn’t a big deal to her,” Candace continued. “But then she said, ‘I met you at the Fuller House premiere when I was 11 years old, and we were all on the red carpet.’”
Candace then recalled JoJo telling her: “I had come up to you and said, ‘Can I have a picture with you?’ and you said to me, ‘Not right now.’ And then proceeded to do what you were doing and take pictures with other people on the red carpet.”
Well, before long, JoJo gave her side of the story in an exclusive video shared with Page Six, in which she called her and Candace’s past encounter “rough.”
“I had a rough experience when I was little,” she said. “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.”
“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,” JoJo explained. “It just, you know, it was a rough experience for me.”
Now, Candace’s daughter, Natasha, has spoken out in defense of her mom, slamming JoJo in a series of now-deleted videos posted to her Instagram stories.
Natasha, who is 23, began by labeling “this generation” as “so insanely sensitive” while adding that JoJo has “zero backbone.”
“This generation is so insanely sensitive and has zero backbone,” she said. “We basically live in a society where you can’t say anything without getting canceled — or do anything without getting canceled — and it’s over the dumbest things.”
Natasha went on to make direct reference to JoJo’s remarks as she called the young star out.
“For someone to say that they don’t wanna take a photo with you, or it’s a bad time because they’re working — that is not a ‘rough experience,’” she said, making a direct reference to JoJo’s comments as she gestured with air quotes.
And Natasha also told JoJo to “grow up,” going on to say: “There are people who are dying. … There are bigger issues in this world than this.”
However, Natasha’s videos were quickly deleted from her page, with the 23-year-old having said that she’d anticipated “receiving a text very shortly” after posting the clips.
JoJo hasn’t responded to Natasha’s comments, but we’ll certainly update you if she does.

The Strictly Come Dancing couple are spending Christmas apart, with Dianne Buswell in Australia and Joe Sugg in England
Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell might be thousands of miles apart this Christmas, but they are still very much on each other’s minds.
Whilst the Strictly Come Dancing pro partner has been gushing about reuniting with her parents, her brothers and her nieces, and hitting the beach, Joe has returned to Somerset to spend time with friends and family.
The 31-year-old has been documenting his “wonderful trip to the shire” and couldn’t help but send girlfriend Dianne a hidden message.
VIDEO: Dianne comments on having children with boyfriend Joe
LATEST: Why Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg are celebrating Christmas apart
Whilst gushing about his stay “at the amazing Court Farm”, a lovingly restored 16th Century farmhouse in Somerset, Joe sent Dianne a décor hint, revealing: “I kinda want our house to look like this!“
Joe has travelled to Somerset to see family and friends
The gorgeous bedroom, as shown in a photo posted on his Instagram Stories, boasts a superking bed under a vintage chandelier, with an authentic barn door which opens onto a bathroom with both a huge walk-in shower and contemporary roll top bath.
Joe also praised the log burner, keeping him warm during his stay. “You cannot beat a good log burner this time of year,” he wrote.
The couple fell in love whilst taking part on Strictly Come Dancing
The theme would no doubt work well in Joe and Dianne’s country home in Sussex. The couple met on Strictly in 2018 and swapped their London flat for their first home together complete with a beautiful garden boasting uninterrupted country views.
Joe went on to reveal to his followers that he was visiting Lacock, a village in the county of Wiltshire.
“Forever grateful for this beautiful village where I grew up,” he said.
He then visited The Lacock Bakery and showed its gorgeous window display, which featured a copy of his book, Grow: How Nature Can Restore Balance in a Busy World.
“I used to go to this bakery as a toddler in my pushchair and now look! I left a special message in this book,” he remarked.

World News Tonight anchor David Muir has fans wondering if he’s found love
ABC star David Muir has long kept fans guessing about his personal life, refusing to share details online or across social media sites like many of his colleagues. But fans do know that David is still on the market and he’s not married, although it remains unclear if he is even dating.
Exclusive: Amy Robach’s ‘deceptive’ interview with Andrew Shue and T.J. Holmes revealed
In fact, as the video below explains, despite being connected to several other high profile TV personalities, there’s only one certain someone who does take up David’s time…
Despite numerous reports of romance for the World News Tonight anchor, David has always refused to publicly address his love life, but has been vocal about a number of leading ladies who he holds dear to his heart.
Kelly Ripa is one of those special people, so much so that the Live with Kelly and Ryan star paid a heartfelt tribute to David in her book, Live Wire.
TRENDING: Joanna Gaines shares breathtaking peek of her Waco farmhouse
An extract from the book – which is released on 27 September – was posted on Kelly’s Instagram Stories over the weekend, and the message is included on a page of acknowledgements.
It read: “To David Muir, you are the backbone and moral compass I need sometimes.”
Kelly and David have been close friends for years
His fellow ABC star, Amy Robach, is also a firm favorite of David’s and they have been known to spend time together both on and off-screen.
His sister, Rebecca, is close with David and he calls his many nieces and nephews his “squad,” and says he’s incredibly proud of all of them.
At home, it’s his beloved gun dog, Axel, who has his heart, as he regularly shares adorable photos with the pup, who he is clearly besotted with.
That’s not to say he hasn’t had his fair share of marriage proposals though! Not a day goes by when he isn’t flooded with compliments from his adoring fans on social media.
But alas, the dedicated journalist is practically married to his job, leaving little time for love!

The TV star, who has been a part of Today for over 25 years, was admitted to the hospital shortly after Thanksgiving due to blood clots and remained hospitalized for over two weeks.

He continued: “I have a lot of things and people to be thankful for. It gives you a profound sense of gratitude for this outpouring of prayers and thanks.”
