Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure found themselves on opposite sides of the fence when it came to discussing the 2024 Paris Olympics drag performance. Sweetin, known for her role on Full House, stood in support of the performance and the drag community, while her former co-star Cameron Bure expressed her disapproval, labeling the act as “disgusting.”
Sweetin took to Instagram to share her thoughts, reposting messages in defense of the performance. One post she reshared questioned why the drag performance couldn’t be seen as a tribute rather than a parody, challenging the notion that drag queens can’t also be Christian. Another post Sweetin shared explained the connection between the performance and the Greek god Dionysus, emphasizing the artistic and historical significance.
Despite Sweetin’s efforts to provide clarity, Cameron Bure remained unswayed. The actress, known for her role on Full House as well, maintained her stance that the performance was inappropriate for children and failed to promote unity through sports.
The debate between the two former co-stars shed light on the intersection of art, history, and personal beliefs, sparking a conversation about the boundaries of entertainment and the diverse perspectives within the entertainment industry.
