A source told HollywoodLife.com that the “Wrecking Ball” singer “didn’t mean to cause any harm” with her Instagram post.
“Miley didn’t mean to cause any harm with her Jodie Sweetin post, she was just having a bit of fun,” explained the source. “She sexualizes everything, and she wasn’t poking fun at Jodie’s drug use or anything like that. Miley’s actually been watching the new Fuller House, so that’s what made her think of it. She didn’t feel it was inappropriate. She actually felt that Jodie was showing off her sexier side in the pics being normally so wholesome in the show.”
