Florence Henderson, the actress who played perky mom Carol Brady in the beloved family sitcom, says she once got crabs after a one-night-stand with career politician John Lindsay, who was the mayor of New York City at the time.

Henderson, now 77, recounts in her upcoming memoir that she was cheating on her husband during the 1960s, and gave in to her better judgment when her married and unattractive friend put the moves on her over drinks at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Oops.

I didn’t need to know this. I didn’t want to know this.

Same here.

Not really surprised. Despite her iconic ‘mom’ role on “Brady Bunch,” every time I saw her interviewed, I got a pretty strong funky/libertine slut vibe.

Now, had this been from Barbara Billingsly, Harriet Nelson, or Jane Wyatt... THEN, I would have fallen out of my chair.

Whoever wrote this, the author of the article or Henderson herself, is an idiot, twice over!

She "gave in to her better judgment".....?

Her "unattractive friend"?

Now Lindsay has been called many thing, but physically "unattractive" has never been one of them. I knew ( not in the carnal sense ) John V. Lindsay and by no stretch of the imagination could he ever be said to be, whether in person or in pictures, a physically unattractive man.

so... why does she admit to being a slut now??

You know what they say - better lobsters on your piano than crabs on your organ.

[CAluvdubya]

Why would someone feel the need to make something like this public?

I don't get this. She has bragged about her affairs for 30 years, she is one sick dudet.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Beats me. I wouldn’t.

I met him at an embassy reception in Jeddah years ago. I thought he looked rather distinguished.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Bless her heart, she appears to have a real head on her shoulders.

[goat granny]

shhhh, he kept his crabs under cover..or he kept it in his pants...

[BookmanTheJanitor]

oh...now the Brady Bunch itching episode makes much more sense

[popdonnelly]

Women like to brag about this stuff.

(John Lindsay? I thought it might be Ed Crotch.)
