Candace Cameron Bure denies claims of homophobia by transgender actress Miss Benny

Candace Cameron Bure is denying allegations of bigotry levied against her by transgender actress Miss Benny.

The “Full House” alum, 47, told People that she did not try to have the 24-year-old “Glamorous” star removed from the Netflix spinoff, “Fuller House,” contradicting the latter’s version of events.

“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,” read Bure’s statement, noting that the streamer revival “has always welcomed a wide range of characters.”
