Is Cindy Brady an Anon?

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.

After explaining what had happened to CBS, the network asked Olsen to take a course in political correctness before they moved ahead with The Brady Bunch reboot.

The events, to be held in Atlanta and Philadelphia, will launch a series of “When We Vote We Win” shows in the seven major swing states during the final days of the campaign; the news arrived at the same time Eminem’s appearance at a rally in Michigan tonight was announced. Events are also expected in Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada.

Harris will appear at the event in Georgia but not Pennsylvania, according to the report.

arlier this month, Springsteen officially endorsed Harris in a video recorded at a diner in his home town of Freehold, New Jersey. “Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does at this moment,” Springsteen said. “It doesn’t have to be this way. [Kamala Harris and Tim Walz] are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow the economy in a way that benefits all, not just a few like me. On top, that’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”
