Candace Cameron Bure calls backlash for her 'traditional marriage' comments attempts to 'assassinate my character'
Candace Cameron Bure is defending herself, after she was criticized on multiple fronts for saying that she ditched Hallmark to partner with faith-based network Great American Family because it promises to "keep traditional marriage" — between a man and woman — "at the core."
"I would like to address my comments on Great American Family's programming as reported in the Wall Street Journal," she wrote Wednesday on social media. (Read the full text of her statement below.) "All of you who know me, know beyond question that I have great love and affection for all people. It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone. It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn't be surprised. We need Christmas more than ever."
