Actress Candace Cameron Bure has cleared the air on her unlikely feud with dancer Jojo Siwa.
The odd drama between the two started on Sunday when Siwa called Cameron Bure out in a popular TikTok video. In the clip, the YouTuber was seen flashing pictures of famous people to label them as the "rudest," "nicest," and her "crush," among other things.
When asked to name the "rudest celebrity" she's ever encountered, the singer displayed a picture of Cameron Bure from the "Fuller House" set, which sparked heated discussions across several social media platforms.
In an Instagram video, Cameron Bure said she saw the clip and was shocked by the remark. The actress also revealed she has spoken with the teen star, adding that the matter has been resolved.

It was just a matter of time until Cameron Bure saw the TikTok video where Siwa called her the "rudest" celebrity ever, given how quickly news spreads thanks to social media. The former "Full House" actor expressed shock at the diss as she wondered what may have happened to have warranted the comment from Siwa.

"Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the TikTok on Sunday and had no idea where it came from, and so I immediately tried to reach out to her through a mutual friend," the actress explained in an Instagram video she shared to address the incident.
In addition to attempting to get in touch with Siwa through a mutual acquaintance, Cameron Bure reportedly visited Siwa's direct message and contacted JoJo's management via her own publicist. One of those methods was bound to yield a response, which ultimately led to a phone call between the two celebrities.
She Refused To Take A Photo With Young JoJo Siwa
Cameron Bure disclosed that Siwa's perception of her as rude was created during the 2016 "Fuller Houser" premiere. The dancer, who was then a preteen, allegedly requested a photo with the "Dancing with the Stars" at the time.
Siwa claimed that Cameron Bure declined her invitation but then posed for pictures on the red carpet with other people. Siwa's younger self apparently felt upset by the action, which it seems she had a hard time forgetting despite the passage of time.
On the Instagram video, Cameron Bure said she felt "crummy" and repeatedly apologized to Siwa for turning down the request at the time. She continued by saying that she felt even worse because, undoubtedly, her actions would have offended Siwa's mother, who might have chaperoned Siwa at the event.
It's All Good
While sharing the details of her conversation with Siwa, Cameron Bure revealed that the 19-year acknowledged that the odd incident was no longer "a big deal" and even felt somewhat "silly" telling her the story.
The Hallmark actress would then talk about how easy it was for remarks to spark controversies, leaving her fans to ponder the power of words. "Even a 10-second trending TikTok video can do damage because our words matter and our actions matter," the actress said in the video.
Candance Bure's fans responded to the post, commending her for reaching out to Siwa to sort out the issue. "I love that you talked to her, person to person. Good for you, darling," one fan said.
"ALWAYS a class act, my friend. And the most kind. Neither fact could or should ever be up for debate," another follower commented.
