Dave Coulier is standing by his former Full House costar Candace Cameron Bure following her public drama with Miss Benny.The actor, 63, who played Joey Gladstone on the hit ’90s sitcom, subtly addressed the feud while discussing an episode of the show’s sequel, Fuller House, titled “The Prom.” Coulier directed the 2018 episode, which was nominated for a GLAAD Award.“It was really nice to have that happen, for people to be recognized, for that episode to be recognized,” he told Yahoo Entertainment before dropping his new “Full House Rewind” podcast on Friday, July 21. “We were always a show that was very inclusive, and we tackled a lot of subjects that sitcoms really traditionally didn’t talk about, you know, like drugs and alcohol with kids, growing up and all of the things that can happen along the journey of adolescence.”The episode featured Miss Benny, 24, as Casey, the show’s first openly gay character.

Coulier declined to comment on Miss Benny’s claims that Cameron Bure, 47, attempted to get the character written off of Fuller House.

He instead praised Cameron Bure for her leadership on the set of the revival series, which ran from 2016 to 2020.“Candace was kind of the driving force of Fuller House.

She was a producer and she was kind of the leader of the wolf pack with the girls and I thought she was tremendous,” he added. “I was so proud of those girls.”Coulier emphasized that he has “always been Switzerland” when it comes to disputes involving Full House cast members.“Everybody kind of tells me, ‘Oh, here’s what she said.’ But we’re like a family, you know?
