Fuller House star, Candace Cameron Bure, has addressed the criticism she received after posting what some fans deemed an "inappropriate" photo of herself with her husband, Valeri Bure.

The image in question showed the 46-year-old resting his hand on the actress's breast, which sparked quite the reaction from the more conservative members of her fanbase.

"Classic Val," Candace captioned the now-deleted post, adding, "He approved this post."

Candace ultimately deleted the photo from her Instagram page, and expressed her frustration over being judged for being affectionate with her husband, whom she has been married to for over two decades.

She later, however, re-uploaded the image to her Instagram Stories.

"For all of the Christians that are questioning my post with my husband’s hand on my boob — my husband of 24 years — thinking it was inappropriate, it makes me laugh because it’s my husband. We have so much fun together," the actress responded in a series of since-deleted videos, per Page Six.

"He can touch me any time he wants, and I hope he does,” she continued. "This is what a healthy, good marriage and relationship is all about.”

Candace also considered issuing an apology to those who took umbrage with the picture, before stopping herself.

"I’m sorry if it offended you — I’m actually not sorry," she said with a laugh. "I’m glad we have fun together after so many years. He can touch me all day long."

"I am sooo glad you DID NOT apologize for this adorable silly photo!!! People need to lighten up!! You have a fun and loving two decades long relationship that deserves to be celebrated not judged by the ultra sensitive!!! Congrats to you and Val [sic]," wrote one Instagram user after a fan reposted the image.

Another on Twitter corroborated, "If Candace’s HUSBAND wants to touch her titty in a picture then by God he can! That’s his wife and she is a GROWN woman. Y’all in they business, don’t do that [sic]."

Candace and Valeri wed back in 1996, and share daughter Natasha, 22, and sons, Lev, 20, and Maksim, 18.
