While Candace Bure is a regular on social media, she has frequently opened up about the toll online “haters” can take on her.
“I wished blessings upon everyone as I shared it in the spirit of a happy new year, yet so many of you came back with jokes about our appearance and criticism of what you thought would have been a better photo,” she continued. “Shame on you.”

“My daughter deals with it a lot and she’s come to me many days crying because of what people have commented on her social media,” she said. “But I do tell her, ‘Listen, a lot of times, people are writing mean things ‘cause they’re trying to poke the bear. They just want to get a rise out of you; they actually want attention.'”
