Brady ‘feud?’: Susan Olsen bewildered by Maureen McCormick failing to sign ad deal
Update: Cindy relieved after Marcia signs off on lucrative ad deal.

Looks like there could be a Brady Bunch feud brewing if a social media post by Susan Olsen aka Cindy Brady is any indication.
She has made pointed comments about Maureen McCormick failing to sign off on a deal for a song to be used on a commercial which would have netted her former cast mates money.
In the original series the ‘Brady Kids’ recorded a number of songs that were positively groovy, including Time To Change.
Olsen has questioned why McCormick would undergo all the challenges on I’m a Celebrity Get Me out of Here! but won’t sign off on the deal that her 5 on-screen siblings have all agreed to.
It’s not clear what the product is, but hopefully McCormick, who was loveable kooky on the TEN show, was still in recovery mode and didn’t get the memo. I reckon she’d sink herself in elephant dung for her Brady siblings.
UPDATE: Susan Olsen has updated via Twitter: “I’m very relieved to say that they gave us another chance and Maureen signed off. I am so relieved!”
Bless!

Phew, glad this has been resolved I was having a sleepless night.
But seriously I think Maureen held out for more money after her recent stint in the jungle lifted her profile.
Cindy Brady, still tattling on her siblings all these years later.
So after publicly slamming Maureen McCormick, Olsen can now simmer down. Oh and perhaps write an apology.
Susan has posted an update on her facebook page.
What was the jist of it?
The same that David has put as the update from her Twitter account.
Get a job Susan.
Perhaps she wants to re-record the track and re-release it as an Australian exclusive, complete with club remixes and a hot music video?
i find it interesting that they all own the rights together
Isn’t there only 5 remaining “siblings” I seem to recall Eve Plumb, who played middle sister Jan, dying of a drug overdose some years ago. Also, the boys Barry Evans(Greg), Chris Knight(Peter) and Mike Lookinland(Bobby) seem to have completely faded into obscurity. Only Mike Lookinland had any extra-curricular work(he voiced the lead character in a cartoon, scored musically by Harry Nilsson, from which, the song “Me & My Arrow” emerged, back in 1971.
No. Eve Plumb is alive and well, easily verified online. Chris Knight left the industry but Barry Williams went on to other projects, including musical theatre.
So Susan Olsen is alive. When I was at school in the 1970s there was a story going around that The Brady Bunch had to end because Susan (Cindy) was killed in a car crash. All the kids believed this story. It became so widespread that the writer of the You Were Asking column in TV Times magazine had to repeatedly write that the story was BS and the show was cancelled due to poor ratings. I remember a girl at school telling me the story and repeatedly refusing to believe me when I told her it wasn’t true.
I thought it was Jan ( Eve Plumb) that the rumour was about, not Cindy. Especially since Eve was the only one not in The Brady Bunch Variety hour.
