00:00Candice Cameron Bure is known for flaunting her faith, so why do some think she is a hypocrite?
00:06"'Cute?' You're supposed to say I look way too hot and can't leave the house dressed
00:11like this."
00:12Candice Cameron Bure has been a pop culture figure ever since she was a teenager in Full
00:17House. After graduating from the series, she went on to star in movies, including several
00:22from Hallmark's Christmas catalog. In 2014, she appeared on Dancing with the Stars, where
00:27she and her partner placed third. Although a beloved actor of the 90s, Bure often finds
00:32herself in the middle of controversy and heated discussions. It seems that Bure is a person
00:37that people love to hate, particularly when it comes to her wardrobe. To be fair, the
00:42actor has a great fashion sense, and her choices are elegant, chic, and to the point. So why
00:47is she so frequently roasted on social media and slammed for her inappropriate attire?
00:52Most of the time, her fashion mistakes are not so much fashion mistakes per se, but rather
00:58the criticism stems from how her clothes clash with her Christian faith.
01:02Bure is a devout Christian with conservative views, which have sometimes landed her in
01:06hot water. Because of her traditional stance on issues like sexuality, the actor is often
01:11scrutinized for her un-Christian outfits by both her Christian fan base and those with
01:16opposing views who find her to be hypocritical. We've rounded some of these notable appearances
01:21so far, and even though most have to do with how she presents herself as a Christian, some
01:26did just fail to land.
01:28When Bure posted on Instagram a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt saying,
01:32"'Not today, Satan,' she was probably referencing her Christian faith. However, precisely because
01:37of her views on the LGBTQ plus community, the shirt was viewed as a contradiction. One
01:42person commented,
01:43"'I don't think you know what this shirt means. It's a drag queen term.'"
01:48Drag queen Bianca Del Rio, who is credited with popularizing the term, also commented
01:53on the post. If only this homophobic Republican knew.
01:57Bure is often criticized for her stance on LGBTQ plus topics, such as the time she supported
02:03an Oregon bakery's refusal to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple.
02:06"'I don't think this is discrimination at all. This is about freedom of association.
02:12It's about constitutional rights.'"
02:15Then, in August 2023, she wore a T-shirt reading,
02:18"'Faith. Hope. Love,' leaving some to argue that she was not showing much love or support
02:23for the LGBTQ plus community. One viewer commented,
02:26"'Faith. Hope. Hate. More like it.'"
02:29As a Christian, Bure has faced criticism for celebrating Halloween, due to the holiday's
02:34pagan roots. However, not only does she love the spooky season, but she makes sure to flaunt
02:40her perfect Halloween costumes on social media. Needless to say, she received some
02:44backlash from the Christian community for these outfits. One Instagram user wrote,
02:49"'How you celebrate Halloween if you are Christian?'
02:52But it isn't just Halloween costumes that have upset Bure's followers. In 2022, following
02:57her exit from Hallmark, Bure told The Wall Street Journal,
03:00"'My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind
03:04them.'"
03:05So when she decided to flawlessly channel big Barbie energy, critics were left wondering
03:10how leotards fit in with her declaration. One outraged Instagram user wrote,
03:14"'Can't show two women kissing on TV, but you can wear skimpy undergarments on social
03:18media and post them and that's fine.'"
03:21And the skimpy outfit criticism doesn't stop there. Fans took issue with Bure's summer
03:252022 anniversary celebration photos, which showed her in a green bikini enjoying the
03:30sun in Miami. Bure's followers thought they were a tad inappropriate, given her conservative
03:35views. One Instagram user commented,
03:38"'Keep it private, Miss Christian.'"
03:40When she posted a different bikini photo on Instagram back in 2017, another user was quick
03:45to show the same sentiment,
03:46"'Your nakedness is not for your husband,' according to the Bible."
