Susan Olsen, Of Brady Bunch Fame, Fired From Radio Show For Homophobic Remarks

Susan Olsen, the child star who appeared in The Brady Bunch, was fired from her LA Talk Radio show Two Chicks Talkin' Politics after allegedly making anti-gay remarks on Facebook, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The actor Leon Acord-Whiting called out Olsen on Facebook after appearing on the show on Wednesday, December 7. During his appearance, Acord-Whiting, who is openly gay, exchanged heated words with Olsen. "Susan Olsen spreads outrageous misinformation & it is dangerous and unprofessional," he wrote. Olsen is a noted Trump supporter; Acord-Whiting accused the show of being "wildly irresponsible" for allowing a Trump supporter to host a regular talk show. Olsen's public response was rather tame: she wrote on Facebook Friday, "This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in." It was accompanied by a screenshot of Acord-Whiting's original post. Shortly after Olsen's curt reply, Acord-Whiting shared a screenshot of a private message from the Brady Bunch star. The full message, which you can read in full at Us Weekly, is littered with unprintable expletives — at one point, Olsen employs a derogatory term for gay men. Olsen has since been fired. In a coy post on Facebook, LA Talk Radio stated, "We will not tolerate hateful speech by anyone associated with our radio station and have severed our ties with a host that veered off the direction in which we are going." The post does not mention Olsen or her show, but the implication is clear: Olsen will not return to Two Chicks Talking Politics. Acord-Whiting, who is best known for the series Old Dogs & New Tricks, subsequently posted on Facebook that he isn't interested in gleaning publicity from the online altercation. "I just turned down requests from KCBS TV & Inside Edition. I'm not milking this," he wrote Sunday night. (He also posted a gif of Wonder Woman with the caption, "Wearing my anti-homophobic deceit bracelets today...") The 55-year-old Olsen achieved fame early with the success of The Brady Bunch. On the show, she played the wide-eyed youngest of the bunch, Cindy Brady, who spoke with a lisp.
