The Fuller House controversy revolves around Miss Benny, who played Casey, the first openly gay character in the Full House franchise. In a TikTok video, Miss Benny claims that one of the main cast members tried to have her character removed from the show. Although she doesn't name the person, it is widely speculated that she was referring to Candace Cameron-Bure, who played DJ Tanner.

According to Miss Benny, she was warned by writers and studio executives about this cast member's alleged attempts to get rid of the queer character.

She also mentioned that she had limited interaction with the Tanner sisters on set. However, Candace Cameron-Bure denies these claims. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, she says that she never asked for Miss Benny's character to be removed and supports a wide range of characters on Fuller House. She also commends Miss Benny's performance as Casey.

The speculation about Cameron-Bure being the cast member in question arises from the fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen didn't return to reprise their role as Michelle, leaving only Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Cameron-Bure as possible options.

It is worth noting that there were previous rumors about conflicts between Cameron-Bure and Sweetin regarding their differing views on same-sex marriage, although neither has commented on the matter.

With another Fuller House reunion scheduled for later this year, it remains to be seen whether this controversy will be addressed. Cameron-Bure's denial may not put the matter to rest if more people come forward with similar experiences or if Miss Benny provides further evidence.

This controversy could potentially impact not only Cameron-Bure but also the show as a whole.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Fuller House involves allegations from Miss Benny that one of the main cast members tried to remove her character, the first openly gay character in the franchise. While Candace Cameron-Bure denies the accusations, the speculation points towards her. The upcoming Fuller House reunion may shed more light on the situation if further developments occur.
