Actress Candace Cameron Bure came under fire after being accused of lying about not eating fast food for two decades.
A representative for Bure, 47, emailed a statement to the âTodayâ show and defended the former star of âFull Houseâ and âFuller House.â
âCandace told me that she drove her son to get food at Chick-fil-A and she only ordered an iced tea for herself. Candace is only holding a cup,â the representative said in the statement shown on Monday.
The representative added the accusations against Bure online are âuntrueâ and âridiculous.â
According to Entertainment Tonight (ET), Bure posted to her Instagram story and claimed she hadnât âeaten fast food except for In-N-Out in 20 yearsâ and was curious about what it would be like.
âSome days I wonder what a burger and fries is like from McDonaldâs or Burger King or Wendyâs or any of those other places Iâve never eaten at. Today is that day,â she said.
However, she made it clear she wouldnât be finding out.
âAnd no, Iâve never had Taco Bell or anything similar. I donât regret it. You canât convince me otherwise,â Bure continued.
On May 15, a Twitter user posted a since-deleted Instagram post of Bure in 2012 at Chick-fil-A with her son.
âWe love Chikin!â Bure wrote in the caption.
Tagging Bure, the Twitter user asked, âThis you?â
Bure has been no stranger to controversy.
In July 2022, actress Hilary Duffâs husband, Matthew Koma, attacked Bure for a TikTok video she made on the Fourth of July with Bruce Springsteenâs song âBorn In The USAâ playing in the background.
âYeah, the song youâre playing?â Koma noted on TikTok. âItâs about veterans coming home from Vietnam and being treated like s***. Yeah, itâs not about, itâs not the Fourth of July.â
Following the backlash, Bure responded with the Bible verse Isaiah 12:2, captioning her video, âScripture memory day.â
âThe Lord is my salvation. I will trust Him and not be afraid. For He, and He alone, is my strength and my defender. He has become my salvation,â she shared.
