The saga between Candace and JoJo, 19, began last month after the latter named the former the “rudest celebrity” she had ever met in a TikTok video, which sparked a back-and-forth on social networks. JoJo’s comment stems from a seemingly unpleasant encounter she had with Candace at a “Fuller House” after-party when she was a child. During their confrontation, which they both confirmed, Candace refused to take a picture with JoJo, who was 11 at the time.

After JoJo’s first TikTok video, Candace shared a video on Instagram in which she said she and JoJo spoke on the phone about the drama. Candace explained what happened his point of view and explained why JoJo had targeted her.

“She actually didn’t want to tell me because she said it was so silly, she felt bad and that’s why it just wasn’t a big deal for her,” he said. explained the Hallmark star. “But then [JoJo] said: “I met you at the premiere of ‘Fuller House’ when I was 11, and we were all on the red carpet. I came to you and said, ‘Can I have a picture with you?’ and you said, ‘Not now.’ Then I kept doing what you were doing and taking pictures with other people on the red carpet.”

“I kinda broke your 11 year old heart, I didn’t take a picture with you! I feel crummy,” Candace added, before apologizing to the social media personality. “JoJo, I’m so sorry! »

Shortly after, JoJo continued to talk about his side of the story that led her to call the “rudest” celebrity actress she’d ever met – and she never wanted it all to become a thing.

“I had a tough experience when I was little,” JoJo said in a video obtained by Page Six. “I was 11 and a big, big fan, and I wanted to take a picture with her, and it wasn’t the right time for her.”

In another clip obtained by Page Six, the Nickelodeon alum spoke more about the alleged snub and his conversation with Candace, saying the former ‘The View’ panelist “didn’t share all the details of the reunion. ”.

“It was one of those memories that my 11-year-old granddaughter was stuck with,” JoJo said.

She confirmed the alleged snub fell at the ‘Fuller House’ premiere after-party, adding: “I was okay with that, but when I turned around and looked back , she was taking pictures with other children. And that’s what really, really upset me.”

“It’s just one of those memories where every time you’re little, someone says something to you, and you never forget it as long as you live – I think we all had that moment – and I feel like it was that moment for me.”

The ‘JoJo Goes’ star confirmed that she and Bure had a 10-minute conversation on the phone, during which the latter apologized. “We talked, it was cool, it was nice,” she added.

Meanwhile, Candace and JoJo each had a family member who weighed in on the drama. Candace’s daughter Natasha called out JoJo in a since-deleted Instagram Story, accusing her of being “so sensitive” and “growing up”.

Real, genuine kindness always goes a long way,” Jessalynn wrote, before concluding, “It’s super easy to quote a Bible verse when everyone’s watching but morality is what you have when no one’s watching. . 🌈”
