Jodie Sweetin Opens Up About Relationship with Candace Cameron Bure, Says They’re on “Very Opposite Sides of Things”

Jodie Sweetin – Candace Cameron Bure – Jodie Sweetin Candace Cameron Bure relationship – Jodie Sweetin is being honest about some differences between her and her Full House castmates.

The actress, 44, appeared on Only Child with Bob the Drag Queen, where she and the host discussed her relationship with her Full House siblings after the show ended.

“I was really lost, I think, in like my teens, early 20s, about what I was supposed to do next,” she acknowledged. Sweetin began playing Stephanie Tanner at age 5 through the show’s conclusion in 1995, when she was 13.

When Sweetin was asked whether she still has a relationship with her on-screen siblings, her answer was complicated. Of Candace Cameron Bure, who played the oldest Tanner daughter, D.J., Sweetin says, “Candace does her thing.”

“You know, we sit on very opposite sides of things, and I’m just kind of a loud, outspoken bitch about a lot of things, and that’s not going to stop me. And if that ain’t you, that ain’t you.”

Discussing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Sweetin made it clear that there was no love lost between herself and the twins, whom she considered herself close to while growing up, but who keep to themselves today.

“They would come to my house for the weekends. I took Mary-Kate and Ashley horseback riding for the first time, and now Mary Kate owns horses and stuff. I mean, we would go to Disneyland together. They would spend weekends with my parents, at the house. We were really, really close. And I wish nothing but the best for them, but I can’t imagine like all the bulls–t that they’ve had to deal with over the years.”

Asked if there was any jealousy there as the twins’ became more engulfed in fame, Sweetin noted the opposite. “No, because I saw how hard they were worked in order to pull all that off and I didn’t envy it at all,” she admitted. “I always actually felt really bad that they were… that they had to do all of that, ’cause they really lost out on having like a childhood.”

Sweetin says she understands that the two are “very much” against being in the spotlight today, adding, “I can’t imagine how the two of them, with the attention they get…”

As for her relationship with them now, she says she wishes them nothing but the best, but there isn’t a constant connection either.

“When we saw Mary Kate and Ashley after Bob had passed, that was the first time we’d all really been together and seen each other in years. Because they were in New York and like in Europe,” she explained.

“I also I have to think about it like, for me, I did the show from age 5 to 13. That is your childhood, your memorable years. I don’t have really much memories before the show. They all have to do with people or things that I did on the show. They started as babies and were 8 when they ended.”

Unlike Sweetin and Bure, the Olsens declined to return for the Full House reboot series, Fuller House, which aired from 2016 to 2020.
