Christine Lakin Has An Idea About Why She Was Fired From ‘Fuller House’

Christine Lakin appeared on Friday’s episode of Jodie Sweetin’s How Long, Tanneritos podcast and said he was almost cast as a recurring character on Netflix Fuller Housebut he was suddenly released before the table was read.

Fuller House it was a series Full housewhich aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995. Fuller House spread from 2016 to 2020.

Lakin said he had a “great” meeting with creator Jeff Franklin and was “surprised” to appear on the show.

“About two days before the table read, I got a call from my manager saying, ‘Yes, something happened. They pushed the table read. I think there’s something about the script that they want to rewrite,’” Lakin said.

“The next day my boss called and said, ‘Hey, I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’ve been released.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, they just said they’re rewriting the character and they don’t need it anymore. And I was like, ‘What did I do wrong?’ I didn’t even go to the study table.”

Calling what happened “strange,” the actor said he asked one of the writers what happened, but the writer did not know why he was fired.

Lakin said he believes the reason is a past incident where he made fun of star Candace Cameron Bure’s brother, Kirk Cameron.

“I participated in a Funny or Die a video that a friend of mine made and at the time, Funny or Die had just come out. At the time, Kirk Cameron had said some very public things about the LGBTQ community and I thought those were very hurtful. “

In a 2012 video, Lakin and other former child actors make fun of Cameron.

“It was funny. It was ridiculous,” Lakin said about the video.

“And all I can think of is that it caused bad blood,” he added. “And after seven years, my presence was unwanted. Maybe that’s what I think.”

“It wasn’t easy for me,” Lakin said. “It really was.”
