Lifestyle Home Home Décor Candace Cameron Bure Responds to 'Haters' Who Criticized Family Photo with 'Many Unkind Comments' "If you don't like something, just move on. There are people and real feelings behind every screen," the Fuller House star wrote on Facebook By Ashley Boucher Published on January 4, 2021 05:29PM EST Candace Cameron Bure is asking her followers to give up rude comments in 2021. The Fuller House star, 44, shared a family photo on Instagram Saturday in celebration of the new year — but quickly felt the need to ask commenters to be nicer with their reactions. "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 🙏🏻. Sending virtual hugs and kisses! XO," Bure captioned the photo, which features her, her husband Valeri Bure and kids Natasha, 22, Lev, 20, and Maksim, 18. The snap, which was taken by Fuller House costar Dave Coulier's wife, photographer Melissa Coulier, shows the family of five posing on a wooden porch. While Candace, Valeri and Maksim smile for the picture, Natasha and Lev strike a more serious pose. After receiving a mixture of positive and negative comments, Candace responded with her own comment on the post, writing, "Wow- I post a family photo and you all find everything you don’t like about it or can make fun of. Do better than that. Please." Candace Cameron Bure's Instagram comment.

To make jokes about them? To critique our poses? The direction in which we are looking? Our physical appearance and facial expressions?" Candace Cameron Bure with her family.

Shame on you," she continued, adding that "it doesn’t matter if you’re 10 or 90 years old, rude is rude." Candace encouraged people to "be better than that" and added that she is "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 said. "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."
