Summary
Jodie Sweetin expresses her disappointment as her movie, Craft Me a Romance, gets acquired by Great American Family (GAF), the network owned by Candace Cameron Bure. The network is currently facing criticism for its limited diversity and focus on traditional marriage narratives.

Jodie Sweetin from Full House expressed disappointment over her latest film, Craft Me a Romance, being sold to Candance Cameron Bure's network. Despite being unaware of this decision, Sweetin continued to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.
What Sweetin's Movie Being Sold To GAF Means
As actors, we often lack control over the network that acquires the projects we are involved in, neither do we play a role in the selling process. Hence, it came as quite a surprise to me when I stumbled upon an article yesterday in the press stating that the independent film I contributed to more than a year ago had been purchased by Great American Family. Although I feel disheartened by this news, I remain committed to my mission of supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Consequently, any potential or future profits derived from this sale will be generously donated to LGBTQ+ organizations.
Craft Me a Romance, which revolves around the protagonist, played by Sweetin, who owns an art store and faces the prospect of losing her business. The premiere of this heartwarming film is set for September. Although GAF's content may seem reminiscent of Hallmark, the network has faced criticism for its lack of inclusivity and traditional portrayal of marriage. Sweetin herself has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and demonstrated her love for Jojo Siwa in 2022 when the latter called out Bure on social media.
The relationship between Sweetin and Bure has been the subject of speculation, especially after Sweetin expressed her feelings about the sale of Craft Me a Romance. Although neither actor has directly addressed the rumors, they did appear together at the '90s Con event earlier this year. Another Full House co-star, David Coulier, recently discussed the alleged feud between Sweetin and Bure, but nothing was confirmed, and he emphasized that the cast still has a strong bond.
While some actors have successfully transitioned from Hallmark Channel to GAF, it appears that Sweetin will not be working with the network. Fans of Sweetin are likely to appreciate her stance, as well as her ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community. With Sweetin's comments about the movie sale, it raises the question of whether GAF or Bure, a former Full House star, will address the issue.
