Candace Cameron Bure denied claims that she tried to have Miss Benny — who portrayed a queer character on Fuller House — written out of the Netflix sitcom. “I never asked Miss Benny’s character to be removed from Fuller House and did not ask the writers, producers or studio executives to not have queer characters on the show,” Cameron Bure, 47, told TVLine in a statement on Thursday, July 6. “Fuller House has always welcomed a wide range of characters.
I thought Miss Benny did a great job as ‘Casey’ on the show. We didn’t share any scenes together, so we didn’t get a chance to talk much while filming on set.
I wish Miss Benny only the best.” Cameron Bure’s rebuttal comes hours after Miss Benny, 24, posted a video via TikTok claiming that the actress attempted to get them ousted from the show due to their character, Casey, being gay. “One of the Tanner sisters is very publicly not for the girls,” Miss Benny shared in the Thursday clip. “I remember I got sat down by the writers and the studio to basically warn me how this person allegedly was trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show.” Cameron Bure starred on all five seasons of Fuller House as DJ Tanner — a reprisal of her role from the ’90s hit Full House.
Miss Benny, for their part, appeared as Casey for two separate season 4 episodes, most notably as the platonic date of Soni Bringas, who portrayed Ramona Gibler on the series.
