Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure wished her fans a Happy New Year by posting a family photo on her Instagram account.
“Happy New Year from the Bures!! Looking forward to what 2021 has in store. I’m praying for unity, grace, humility, compassion and love for mankind. With God, all things are possible,” the actress wrote.
The photo was then flooded with many comments, including quite a lot that criticized the image, including pointing out that her son, Lev and daughter, Natasha were not smiling.
“Wow–I post a family photo and you all find everything you don’t like about it or can make fun of,” she wrote in the comments. “Do better than that. Please.”
Candace Bure then took to her official Facebook to defend her family. The actress wrote, “I posted my family Christmas photo and sadly, there were so many unkind comments. Do you think it’s funny to criticize someone’s children? To make jokes about them? To critique our poses? The direction in which we are looking? Our physical appearance and facial expressions?”
“I wished blessings upon everyone as I shared it in the spirit of a happy new year, yet so many of you came back with jokes about our appearance and criticism of what you thought would have been a better photo. Shame on you. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 or 90 years old, rude is rude. Be better than that. I’m praying for humanity. Manners and respect. if you don’t like something, just move on. There are people and real feelings behind every screen,” she continued.
“P.S. Please don’t tell me to ignore the ‘haters.’ There were plenty of well meaning people who thought it would be funny to point out things and share their commentary, ‘with love.’ Umm…that’s not love. That’s rude. Try kind. It looks good on everyone,” Cameron Bure added.
