Candace Cameron Bureis saying sorry.
On Wednesday, the 45-year-old actress shared a series of posts on herInstagram Story, where she addressed a video she originally posted toTikTokand later shared on her Instagram feed.
The video, which has since been deleted from Instagram but stillremains on TikTok, shows Bure lip-syncing toLana Del Rey’s “Jealous Girl,” leaning in front of the camera and later holding up a Bible.
Addressing the backlash she received for the quick clip, Bure told her fans that it was not her “intention” for the video to be perceived as “weird” and “seductive,” as many viewers deemed it to be.
“I just came home and read a lot of messages that were not happy with my latest Instagram post that was a TikTok video,” Bure began. “And I usually don’t apologize for these things, but a lot of you thought it was weird and I’m sorry. That was not my intention.”
“I was using a very specific clip from TikTok and applying it to the power of the Holy Spirit, which is incredible,” the actress continued. “So many of you thought I was trying to be seductive, which clearly means I’m not a very good actress because I was trying to be strong, not sexy. So I guess that didn’t work, but I deleted it.”

Bure then went on to explain that her daughterNatashahad previously crafted a similar clip on TikTok, which inspired her to do the same with a faith-based message.
“Maybe I was just trying to be too cool or relevant in a Biblical way that didn’t work,” she explained, shrugging her shoulders. “Anyway, most of you didn’t like it, clearly, but there was a small percentage of you that appreciated what I did and understood my intention.”
“But anyway, it’s gone,” Bure — who recently gained5 million followerson Instagram — added, as she closed out her reflective messages, saying, “Now I know what you don’t like.”

While Bure remains open on social media, she has often commented on the toll online “haters” can take, saying she lets “a lot of"the criticismgo, but also knows when it’s time to stick up for herself.
“We have to realize and let people know that there’s real people and feelings behind a computer screen or a phone,” the actress added. “So I think standing up for yourself is always appropriate.”
