Candace Cameron Bure, the beloved actress known for her long-running role as D.J. Tanner in the sitcom ‘Full House,’ has recently shared her profound sadness and heartbreak over the revelations of abuse and exploitation in the children’s television industry. In a candid interview with E! News, Bure expressed her dismay after watching the documentary titled ‘Quiet on Set.’
Bure, who began her career in the entertainment industry at the tender age of 11, expressed deep sympathy for those who have endured such horrific experiences. Having risen to stardom herself at a young age, Bure fortunately did not encounter any negative experiences during her own time in the industry. However, she emphasized that the stories of abuse recounted in ‘Quiet on Set’ have deeply affected her.
Bure also shared her concerns about potential abuse that may have occurred in more subtle or non-physical forms, lamenting that the entire situation is simply ‘horrible.’ Drawing upon her own experiences, Bure stressed the critical importance of having supportive individuals around young artists who can provide guidance and protection. She advised young performers to be mindful of the intentions of others and to always prioritize their own well-being.
Bure further emphasized the importance of self-assurance and self-acceptance for young artists. She encouraged them to embrace their own unique talents and personalities, rather than engaging in comparisons with others. By fostering a strong sense of self, young performers can better navigate the challenges and pressures of the entertainment industry.
