"Listen, on social media, everyone gets criticized, and if you are a celebrity, I mean, it just comes with the territory, and I can handle it," said Bure. "But the second someone starts to criticize my children, or say negative things like that, mama bear comes out."

"I just had to remind people that there are real people with real feelings behind the screen and I’m not posting for your negativity. In that instance, I was simply sharing a family photo that was so beautiful to me. Even a hint of people criticizing my family picture I wasn’t going to take."

"Wow- I post a family photo and you all find everything you don’t like about it or can make fun of. Do better than that. Please," Bure responded at the time.
The actress also recently spoke to E!’s "Daily Pop," explaining that despite her celebrity status "people forget" she's a "real person."
"I was simply sharing a family Christmas card. And it's so strange to me that people have the audacity to write horrible and negative comments. Like, you would never say that to someone's face," Bure told the outlet.
