Candace Cameron Bure is ‘not speaking’ for the network

Her views are not that great.

Great American Family CEO Bill Abbott has claimed that while actress Candace Cameron Bure is a part of the media conglomerate, she does not speak for the entire network.

The “Full House” alum, 47, came on as the company’s chief content officer last year after her split from the Hallmark Channel.

She then made some comments alluding to the GAF network keeping “traditional marriage at the core” of its original films and abstaining from portraying LGBTQ romances.

Abbott, 61, said in a new interview with Variety that he does support Bure’s views, however, he’s not with her 100%.

“It’s like the disclaimer you see at the end of a movie or a series that says, ‘The views reflected here are not necessarily those of the company,’ ” the executive said.

He went on: “Candace has such a high profile that when she speaks, she’ll speak on a lot of topics, and she has a wonderful podcast that is fantastic. But when she speaks on that, she’s not speaking on behalf of Great American media.”

But Abbott is still not keen on putting the LGBTQ community on-screen just yet.

He said: “I think that’s a very good and fair question. I don’t think when we set out to do any type of movie we cast it first.”

“The first thing we think about is a great storyline or great characters or an emotional journey. We’re not seeking to do anything or not do anything, and we take every day as it comes,” he added.

Abbott explained that the film business is “so challenged across the entire industry right now.”

“We’re just looking to celebrate great stories. We don’t have an agenda either way. It’s not in the faith-and-family playbook to have agendas that are either pro or anti,” he said. “We want to entertain and inspire and be uplifting and consistently provide an experience that is high quality — that is our most important objective.”

Abbott then revealed that while queer stories can be “something to think about” in the near future, right now the company is focused on “profitability” and “being successful.”

Bure told the Wall Street Journal in November 2022 why she decided to leave the Hallmark Channel.

“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment,” she said.

The “Fuller House” actress explained that Hallmark “basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership.”

Her comments caused ire among celebs including her former sitcom co-star Jodie Sweetin, JoJo Siwa and Hilarie Burton.
