Miss Benny says she was warned that one of the Tanner Sisters -- using Candace Cameron Bure's name in a hashtag -- on Fuller House 'was trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show' (via toofab)

The actress only appeared in two episodes during the show's fourth season. She said she was on set every day for two weeks and only ever interacted with one of the"Tanner sisters," which can only refer to Bure or Jodie Sweetin's Stephanie as the Olsen twins famously did not take part in the series.

She also said she was"warned and prepared that this person's fan base might be encouraged to target me specifically." Despite everything, though, she said she really enjoyed her experience on the show"with all the other actors who were willing to talk to me." She further suggested that someone was not willing to talk to her by again emphasizing that"to this day, despite working on the show every day for two weeks straight, I have only had a conversation with one of the Tanner sisters."

"Continuously blows my mind how queer people, specifically queer young adults and queer children are being targeted and having to advocate for themselves against adults," said Benny, who was still a teenager when her episodes were filmed.
