'Brady Bunch' star Susan Olsen fired from radio show after reports of anti-gay rant

LOS ANGELES — "Brady Bunch" star Susan Olsen, who played Cindy on the popular '70s sitcom, was fired from her gig on LA Talk Radio’s “Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics" over allegations that she went on a Facebook rant full of gay slurs and expletives.

According to the Huffington Post, the rant followed gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting's appearance on Olsen's show and a Facebook post he wrote criticizing Olsen, a Donald Trump supporter, for spreading "outrageous information" and being "dangerous and unprofessional."

This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in. If you can find him, please send him my love.

According to Acord-Whiting, Olsen responded by sending him a private Facebook message that began, "Hey there little [expletive], let me get my big boy pants on and Reallly take you on!!!" The message, which also reportedly included gay slurs and several other expletives, ended with the line, "I hope you meet your karma SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY."

After the two went back-and-forth over social media, Olsen was let go from LA Talk Radio.
