Zero tolerance for trolls. Candace Cameron Bure effortlessly shut down a commenter who criticized her weight in a recent Instagram photo.
The actress posed with her son Lev, 18, outside of Nobu in Malibu, and she captioned the April 13 shot: “Nobu with @levvbure – celebrating a new direction 🎬.” In the snap, the Fuller House star, 42, wore a pair of loose-fitting jeans and a matching jacket, and paired the denim with a loose T-shirt.
An Instagram user then commented: “All that exercising, and you still look like you weigh more than your husband, did you change your diet?”
“If a 25-inch waist looks big to you … then you’re looking through an altered lens,” the former The View cohost fired back. “Be well.”
The Full House alum has previously opened up about her past battle with an eating disorder. She revealed in May 2016 that she had struggled with bulimia when she was younger. “I knew I had a problem, but again, it’s like being on a runaway train and you wanna get off but you don’t know how to get off,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “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. I had a very unhealthy relationship with food that turned into bulimia.”
“I dealt with it for several years, but it wasn’t about body image and trying to feel good,” she continued. “It was about trying to find comfort or fill voids within myself.”
After struggling with the disorder, she decided to take a break from Hollywood to focus on her family and her marriage to former hockey player Valeri Blue, with whom she also shares daughter Natasha, 19, and son, Maksim, 16.
She also relied on the NHL star for support during her recovery. “My husband is a professional athlete and such a disciplined person, so I was very nervous to tell him,” she recalled to ET. “But he couldn’t have been more understanding and more supportive, which was such a relief. I know that not everybody has that person in their life.”
Bure has since transformed her body by working out with personal trainer Kira Stokes, and she often shares photos of her workouts and healthy food recipes on Instagram.
