Jodie Sweetin isnt pleased about her latest on-screen home despite its link to her longtime co-star Candace Cameron Bure .

The Full House actor said last week that she was disappointed to learn that her forthcoming film, Craft Me a Romance, had been picked up for broadcast by Great American Family, a conservative Christian network.

Bure left the Hallmark Channel, where shed appeared in numerous films for more than a decade, to join the Great American Family as its chief creative officer last year. The actor stirred controversy when she told The Wall Street Journal that the networks emphasis on traditional marriage meant that viewers shouldnt expect to see LGBTQ storylines in its Christmas movies.

Sweetin who co-starred with Bure on Full House from 1987 to 1995, and the Netflix sequel series Fuller House from 2016 to 2020 told People in a statement that Craft Me a Romance had been sold to Great American Family without her knowledge.

Sometimes, we, as actors, dont have control over which network buys the projects we are in, nor are we a part of the process in which they get sold, she said. So I was very surprised to learn by reading about it in the press yesterday that the independent film I worked on over a year ago was sold to Great American Family.

She went on to note: I am disappointed, but in keeping with my mission of supporting the LGBTQ+ family, any potential or future money made from this sale will be donated to LGBTQ+ organizations.
