CBS Cancels Brady Bunch Reboot Over Olsen's Views

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady on 'The Brady Bunch,' claims a planned reboot of the series was canceled due to her conservative political views. The revival, inspired by the 2019 HGTV series 'A Very Brady Renovation,' intended to introduce diverse elements, including a libertarian podcaster Cindy, a liberal Jan with a transgender child, and a Brady member married to a Black person. Olsen alleges her support for Donald Trump and past controversies, such as a 2016 radio firing over a homophobic rant, led CBS to drop her from the project despite her willingness to undergo a political correctness course. The reboot aimed to reflect the actors' real-life personalities and political views, promoting diverse yet respectful family dynamics. CBS's decision to cancel the reboot was made after a deeper investigation into Olsen's social media activities revealed criticism of COVID-19 vaccines and other conservative views. The cancellation is highlighted by Olsen as an example of 'cancel culture' and 'woke Hollywood.'
