Jodie Sweetin "Disappointed" New Movie Sold to Former Costar's Network

Jodie Sweetin has noted she's disheartened to learn her new movie 'Craft Me a Romance' was sold to the Great American Family network without her knowledge.

The channel drew controversy last year when its chief creative officer Candace Cameron Bure promised the network "will keep traditional marriage at the core" with its content.

"Sometimes, we, as actors, don't have control over which network buys the projects we are in, nor are we a part of the process in which they get sold. So I was very surprised to learn by reading about it in the press yesterday that the independent film I worked on over a year ago was sold to Great American Family."


"I am disappointed, but in keeping with my mission of supporting the LGBTQ+ family, any potential or future money made from this sale will be donated to LGBTQ+ organizations."

'Craft Me a Romance' centers around a small-town arts store owner that is told by her rival she must sell her shop or be forced out of business. It also stars Brent Bailey, and is set to premiere on the network on September 16th.

This isn't the first time Jodie has shown support for the LGBTQ+ community.

When JoJo Siwa called out Cameron's comments as "rude and hurtful to a whole community of people" in November, Jodie replied with "You know I love you."

She has described herself as an "outspoken ally" for the community.


"I've always tried to fight for equality and love for everyone. I feel like if you have a voice and you have a platform, it is incumbent on you to be loud and use it."

Candance has also previously addressed the controversial remarks, clarifying she "long wanted to find a home for more faith-based programming."

"I have great love and affection for all people. It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone."

She added she loves people of "any race, creed, sexuality, or political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling."


"I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I encourage and fully support. I've never been interested in proselytizing through my storytelling, but in celebrating God's greatness in our lives through the stories I tell."
