00:00 After that, it gave me a little sense of like,
00:02 okay, you and her are never gonna agree.
00:05 You and her are never gonna be friends.
00:07 You and her are never gonna get along.
00:08 - JoJo Siwa says she gave up on having a relationship
00:12 with Candace Cameron Brere back in November,
00:15 right after the Full House alum's interview
00:17 with the Wall Street Journal in which Candace,
00:20 who was a chief creative officer
00:22 at the Great American Family Network,
00:24 stated that the company will promote faith programming
00:27 and good family entertainment
00:29 and keep traditional marriage at the core.
00:32 - Typically speaking, man-to-woman marriage is traditional.
00:37 And it wasn't about that.
00:39 It wasn't that she wants to do a movie about that.
00:41 It was that she wants to do a movie about that
00:44 to put down LGBTQIA
00:47 and that she was specifically gonna make movies
00:51 that had no representation of LGBTQIA, which is fine.
00:57 - During the July 27th episode of the Vile Files podcast,
01:01 JoJo clarifies that she doesn't think, quote,
01:04 "everything needs to be gay."
01:06 - But when you're doing it out of spite to say
01:09 that too much is about LGBTQ right now,
01:12 you guys suck and I wanna make a movie
01:15 about traditional marriage and you're not traditional,
01:17 that got to me a little bit.
01:19 And I don't remember what her exact press release was
01:21 and what she exactly said.
01:21 - It almost felt like she was doing it
01:24 almost to fight against.
01:26 - Exactly.
01:26 - Following Candace's November 14th interview,
01:29 JoJo took to Instagram writing,
01:31 "This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people."
01:35 Her caption also seemingly referenced a previous feud
01:38 the pair got into when JoJo said the 46-year-old
01:41 was the quote, "rudest celebrity I've met,"
01:44 although they later made amends.
01:46 - Okay, you and her are never gonna agree.
01:49 You and her are never gonna be friends.
01:51 You and her are never gonna get along.
01:53 You and her are never gonna,
01:54 I'm never gonna be able to change her.
01:58 She's not gonna be able to change me.
02:01 We can both just live life.
02:03 We can both just have fun.
02:05 But I wish she was able to be a little more open,
02:10 a little more accepting.
02:12 I'm okay with calling her out in the way that I did.
02:14 - In response to the backlash she faced from JoJo
02:17 and other stars for her comments,
02:19 Candace issued a November 16th statement to E! News
02:22 saying in part, "It absolutely breaks my heart
02:25 "that anyone would ever think I intentionally
02:28 "would want to offend and hurt anyone.
02:30 "To those who hate what I value
02:32 "and who are attacking me online, I love you.
02:35 "To those who have tried to assassinate my character,
02:38 "I love you.
02:39 "To everyone reading this of any race, creed, sexuality,
02:42 "or political party, including those who have tried
02:45 "to bully me with name-calling, I love you."
02:48 - You can be gay and you can look up to the Lord.
02:51 Why not, you know?
02:52 - Totally.
02:53 And so that's where it's like, homegirl.
02:56 Just go make your movie.
