CBS Studios Killed ‘Brady Bunch’ Revival Over Cindy Brady Actor’s Hate Speech; She Says Her Political Views Made Her ‘Too Dangerous’


Cindy Brady actor Susan Olsen says CBS killed a revival for "The Brady Bunch" due to her support of Donald Trump.

Cindy Brady actor Susan Olsen recently claimed on the “Walk Away Campaign” podcast(via Vanity Fair) that CBS killed a revival of “ The Brady Bunch ” due to her support of Donald Trump and her controversial stances on hot button issues like Covid vaccines and the LGBTQ+ community — but that’s not the whole story, insiders note. More importantly, sources note that it was scrapped due to hate speech by Olsen, including homophobic slurs that had previously gotten her fired from a radio gig. She was allegedly questioned during the show’s early development about her politics by the revival’s showrunner and the son of Sherwood Schwartz, who created the original “Brady Bunch.” The actor was previously fired from the “Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics” radio show in 2016 after she shared anti-LGBTQ views on social media; she reportedly later responded to a guest (who had criticized her on social media) by sending him a text message filled with slurs and hate speech.
