Candace Cameron Bure admits to deleting swimsuit photo after getting body-shamed: ‘Wasn’t worth it’

Candace Cameron Bure deleted a swimsuit photo from her Instagram account after online trolls body-shamed her.

After a fan asked the “Full House” alum, 49, if she removed a photo, she took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to confirm she did remove it and explained why. She wore a one-piece swimsuit, “not a bikini,” while “soaking up the end of summer” and “having fun,” she shared of the since-deleted pic.

“It wasn’t about the bathing suit or my body,” she recalled of the criticism she received. “But the comments became flooded with people discussing my body.”

She added, “It wasn’t worth it. I took it down.”

The actress shared the message atop a snapshot of herself enjoying a sunny day in a butter yellow strapless sundress.

The mom of three — who once claimed she hasn’t eaten fast food in 20 years — previously clapped back at a body shamer in 2018. “All that exercising, and you still look like you weigh more than your husband, did you change your diet?” the troll wrote on one of her photos.

She replied, “If a 25-inch waist looks big to you … then you’re looking through an altered lens. Be well.”

The actress has been candid about her past battle with body image and eating disorders. In her 2010 memoir, “Reshaping It All,” she divulged she binged and purged to manage her weight.

“I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia,” she told Entertainment Tonight back in 2016. “I kind of lost my identity in a sense, and what happened was I turned to food for comfort when my husband was traveling and when I was alone,” she added.

In an April episode of her eponymous podcast, the actress looked back on “very vivid memories” from her 5th grade and 6th grade years, when she began to feel “so bad” about her body.

She confessed that, amid her career as a child actress, she had attempted “every single diet plan since [she] was 12 years old,” — including Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig.

She explained that it had been difficult for her to have a healthy relationship with food and diet, given that she struggled with a “history of eating disorders.”

The actress — who is vocal about her Christianity — said she once had a “random” dream related to a Biblical story. In the tale, a man called Balaam whipped his donkey mercilessly, despite having a mule that worked well for him.

She then compared the story to her treatment of herself. “I wake up from this dream one morning and God just vividly showed me that I’ve been like Balaam,” she said while becoming emotional.

“I’ve whipped my body,” she added. “I’ve spoken to it so harshly. So mean. ‘What are you doing? Why do you look this way? Why are you fat? Why can’t you be like every other body?’”
