‘Brady Bunch’ Star Susan Olsen Fired by LA Talk Radio Over Homophobic Hate Speech

Andy Towle December 10, 2016 Leave a Comment

Brady Bunch Susan Olsen

Yesterday, we reported on a homophobic exchange between Leon Acord-Whiting, the actor/writer/producer and activist behind the web series Old Dogs & New Tricks, and Susan Olsen, an L.A. radio host who played Cindy Brady on The Brady Bunch as a child.

Olsen, a Trump supporter, was not happy that Acord-Whiting had called her out for spewing misinformation and lies on her show, and unleashed a barrage of homophobic threats at him which were he posted online.

Acord-Whiting had called on LA Talk Radio to fire Olsen and now they have apparently done so.

Wrote LA Talk Radio in a Facebook post:

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.

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.

Thank you for your loyalty and continued support. LA Talk Radio stands for love and community, and we will always support all of our friends around the world.

Olsen has not commented.
