Jojo Siwa has revealed why she called Candace Cameron Bure the "rudest celebrity" she'd ever met.

The 19-year-old Youtuber took to TikTok on Sunday (July 24) to share photos of celebrities alongside the categories: "rudest", "nicest", "coolest", and "celebrity crush".

Underneath one heading that read, "The rudest celebrity I’ve ever met," Siwa turns her phone to reveal a picture of Cameron Bure wearing a sleeveless turtleneck on the set of the sitcom, Fuller House.

The video went viral on the social media platform, amassing 21.2 million views and 1.1 million likes with many of Siwa's fans speculating what the 46-year-old could've done to her.

In footage obtained by Page Six, the Dance Moms alum finally explained her reasons why she exposed Cameron Bure for her alleged "rude" behavior.

Watch Siwa's video below:

"You know, I had a rough experience when I was little. I was 11, and I was a big, big fan, and I wanted to take a picture with her, and it wasn’t a good time for her," Siwa began to explain.

She then said that although the interaction was not pleasant, it was not a reflection of the actress' character: "I will say because I had a bad experience, that doesn’t mean that she is an awful human."

"I think it just was an inconvenient time for her, and little 11-year-old me was just so pumped up and so excited, but that doesn’t mean she’s the worst human ever," she added, before reiterating that overall it was just a "rough experience" for her.

Cameron Bure seemingly responded to the accusation by posting a cryptic Bible verse on her Instagram Story, reading: "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."

The actress' 23-year-old daughter, Natasha, also took to Instagram amid the drama to defend her mom and call her the "coolest".

Cameron Bure finally addressed the incident directly on Tuesday (July 26) and even apologized to Siwa. She expressed that as a mother, she felt even "crummier" for presumably hurting Siwa’s mother's feelings at the time.

She also said how harmful words can be, saying: "Even a 10-second trending TikTok video can do damage because our words matter and our actions matter."
