  • "Cindy Brady" Reacts to Barfgate

     

    Yesterday, we showed you the video of all-growed-up Susan Olsen -- known to the universe as The Brady Bunch's adorable little Cindy Brady -- turning up hungover for a radio interview, and nearly barfing on the microphone.

    Now we have her reaction, courtesy of CNN's Showbiz Tonight. According to Olsen, what happened was simple: She's not much of a drinker, but she had had "plenty of wine" the night before. And when she felt ill during the interview, she decided to be truthful about the reason. 

    Makes sense to us. As for whether talking to your child about being hungover is "the way kids learn," well, that's something for the ladies of The View to decide. We still say she's pretty freakin' cool.

  • Oh, Cindy!

     

    Is nothing sacred? 

    Susan Olsen, best known to the world as The Brady Bunch's cute little Cindy Brady, was interviewed on a radio show last week. And everything was going fine, until she became noticeably ill... which she attributed to having, um, gotten "wasted" the night before. "I am so ready to vomit on the microphone," she added, much to the DJ's alarm. He cut the interview short, and she seemed to barely make it out of the studio without throwing up. (And, yes, that was apparently her young son there with her to witness it all.)

    Okay, to be fair, that's far from the worst behavior we've ever seen. And on the positive side, she actually seems to have grown up pretty normal... unlike certain other former child stars named Olsen we can think of.

    Still, we'd suggest that you avoid watching the video below, unless you don't mind having your own childhood innocence shattered once and for all.

She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
