Candace Cameron Bure Deletes Swimsuit Photo After Body-Shaming Backlash

Los Angeles, Sept. 7, 2025 - Actress and author Candace Cameron Bure removed a recent Instagram photo of herself in a one-piece swimsuit after negative comments about her body flooded the post.

The “Full House” alum said she chose to delete the image not because of her swimsuit or physique but due to the volume of body-focused remarks, underscoring the impact of online criticism on mental well-being.

Bure, 49, explained via Instagram Stories on Sept. 6 that she was “enjoying the last days of summer” at the beach when fans zeroed in on her appearance rather than the moment. She emphasized that enduring harsh commentary wasn’t “worth it,” illustrating the challenges public figures face when sharing personal snapshots on social media.

Photo Removal and Reaction

• In her Instagram Story, Bure clarified she was wearing a one-piece, not a bikini, and was simply having fun in the sun.
• She noted that the comments became “overwhelmed with discussions about my body,” prompting her to take down the post.

History of Body-Image Scrutiny

Bure has openly discussed past struggles with body image and public scrutiny. In April, during her podcast, she reflected on her battles with harsh self-talk and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance. She also recounted how early fame heightened her anxiety about appearance and weight.
