Susan Olsen, 55, was fired from her radio show after a homophobic rant — as one should be. Here’s everything you need to know about her.
1. She’s best known for playing the youngest member of the family on The Brady Bunch.
Susan was cast as Cindy on The Brady Bunch when she was eight, and has been in almost all of the reunion movies as well as the spin-off series The Bradys.
2. Susan was fired from LA Talk Radio when a guest spoke out about a homophobic rant she had sent him.
Actor Leon Acord-Whiting was a guest on Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics, which Susan co-hosted. The interview grew heated between Leon and Susan, who supports Donald Trump, and the actor later complained on Facebook. “It is wildly irresponsible for LA Talk Radio to allow a Trump fanatic to co-host one of their programs, where she can spew her idiotic lies unchecked,” he wrote. She then reportedly direct-messaged him, writing, “You are the biggest f–-t ass in the world the biggest p—sy! My D—k is bigger than yours Which ain’t sayin much!” among other homophobic slurs and offensive language. Obviously, she was fired.
‘The Brady Bunch’ — PICS
3. LA Talk Radio has a zero tolerance policy for the kind of hate, and issued a statement about Susan.
“LA Talk Radio takes pride in its close and collaborative relationship with the LGBT community, and will continue to provide a home for those who have hopeful and positive messages of togetherness and tolerance to share with our listeners,” the company said in a statement. “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.”
4. Susan was an adult film star at one point, according to an urban legend.
After such rumors circulated, Susan cleared things up in a 1990s interview by saying that she had not starred in any films, but created spaceship sound effects for a porn titled Love Probe from a Warm Planet as a favor to a friend.
5. She makes Marshmallow Fluff-inspired art.
Yes, you read that right. Her work is called “Fluffart”, though as of press time, her website where the art can be purchased was down.
HollywoodLifers, are you glad Susan was fired?
