JoJo Siwa makes it clear that she's not looking to reconcile with Candace Cameron Bure. "We haven't [spoken], and I don't think we ever will again," Siwa said in an interview with People at Disney+'s "Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium" event on the 20th. november.

In a Nov. 14 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure made it clear that she plans to "put Christianity back in Christmas movies."
