Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen claims 'woke' reboot was axed over her conservative views

Susan Olsen who played Cindy Brady on The Brady Bunch has claimed that a 'woke' reboot of the series was axed over her conservative political views.

The actress, 63, lifted the lid on the scrapped revival - which would have included black and transgender characters - in an interview with the #WalkAway Campaign podcast this month.

Olsen said that the CBS network became interested in bringing back the iconic '70s series after the cast reunited for A Very Brady Renovation in 2019, which brought record ratings to HGTV at the time.

The planned revival was set to take some inspiration from the controversial Roseanne reboot by having the actors real life personalities and political views shape their on-screen characters.

Olsen explained that Cindy was going to be a Libertarian podcaster on the series, while Jan Brady, played by outspoken liberal Eve Plumb, would have a transgender child.

To increase the diversity on the all-white cast, producers also planned to give one of the Bradys a black spouse.

'I was hoping to continue what Roseanne Barr had set out to do, which I really liked,' Olsen shared.

'Her reboot had a family with completely different political opinions and in the end they all love and respect each other.'

However, Olsen's dreams were cut short when network executives at CBS discovered that the actress had been fired from a radio gig in 2016 for going on a 'homophobic rant.'

At the time, Olsen had used a gay slur in a private message to openly gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting, after he campaigned to have her fired from her LA Talk Radio show for supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

why?

[LittleBillyInfidel]

She’s a good friend of mine through my former radio/podcast work. I’ll invite her to FreeRepublic, since she’s so very prolific on social media. She’s also an expert on the problems of Islam.

[bigdaddy45]

But Jan was always hotter.

[BigFreakinToad]

She should haven’t agreed to take the political correctness “re-education” class, that is admitting you did something wrong. You should have given them the middle finger and walked away. It’s dead, so good riddance.

[irishjuggler]

Are you suggesting that Cousin Oliver was a jinx?? LOL.

Mo McCormick was and still is a looker, but her real life of coke, abortion and anorexia wasn’t so pretty

[fidelis]

Marsha still looks good in 2019.

When you're as old as the average Freeper, even Ms. Howell from Gilligan's Island starts looking fine.

Mrs. Howell that hottie from Gilligans Island? Absolutely!

[suasponte137]

It’s debatable, but it’ll just turn into a coke or Pepsi style debate in the end

And when come down to it. I wouldn’t turn either of them down.

Good for you! That took courage. Furthermore, I have to believe you are right.

Take the sex (anal, oral, whatever) out of “gay relationships” and I think it all comes to an end. I have nothing against brotherly love, male bonding on a sports team, or in a war zone. However, that’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about sodomy. Men having sex with men or boys.

TV and other propaganda gives us images of sweety-sweet gay guys. Some gay couples try to act that out. Life imitating art. But is it real?

A distant relative had a same sex relationship. His partner did his best to look feminine. His partner had surgery out of “true love.” Yup. They cut it off. They married. About three years later the relative was celebrating true love with someone else.

There is a historical quote to the effect that a drunk can have sex with a lamppost. It may be metaphorical, but probably had a literal origin. There are certainly men, and boys, who would go for any orifice.

Sex without consequences has its appeal. There is no pregnancy when men have sex with men. But is it true that you can have sex without consequences? I don’t think so. I think AIDS is entirely due to men having sex with men. It’s just not hygienic. Future AIDS like diseases will have the same cause.

Probably most of are born thieves. Watch children and you will see that it’s not uncommon for a child to take a toy from another child. “Born that way” is no excuse.

If this abomination of the Brady Bunch was made then it would have ruined any fond memories of the original show which I bet was the purpose. Liberals ruin everything. I hate reboots as they always try to change what made them popular.

Dear Lord....!

Stay strong, Susan Olsen. We support you against this Satanic madness of "transgender" that is sweeping the world.

Anyone who doesn't believe that we're in the Days of Lot, as prophesied in Luke chapter 17, isn't paying attention.

The hour is very, very late indeed. There's not much time to freely share the Word of God and the opportunities are already closing.

Genesis 19:27-28 KJV

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Excellent - recommend that she doesn’t post under her real name - the DUmmies will hassle her to death

ROTFLOL! Best post of the week!

Thanks for your kind words. You posted the following:

“I have nothing against brotherly love, male bonding on a sports team, or in a war zone. However, that’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about sodomy.”

You got it exactly. Sounds like you know this, but others here may not... In modern language “love” is the word we use, but when the New Testament was written, three different Greek words were used and all translated as “love” into English.

Phileo - brotherly, or friendship type love (Philadelphia)
Eros - passion, or sexual, lustful love
Agape - giving, or sacrificial love (like God has)

Conflating these three is a BIG problem. “Love your neighbor” is agape love. It’s not what some people want to make it.
