The child actors of "The Brady Bunch" cast grew up to a career
of shocking scandals. That's included the bizarre secret life of Susan Olsen — once beloved as Cindy Brady, and who's now lost her job over a homophobic rant. As the host of "Two Chicks Talkin' Politics" on LA Talk Radio, Susan had become a proud supporter of Donald Trump. But after an on-air brawl with gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting, she trashed her career by sending him a vicious private message!

Whiting went public with the vicious missive sent to him by Susan, where she wrote: "You are the biggest f--got ass in the world — the biggest p--sy! My d--k is bigger than yours, which isn't saying much!...What a true piece of s--t you are! Lying f--got!"

LA Talk Radio moved quickly — not naming Susan, but declaring the network had “severed ties” with one of their personalities, adding: "We will not tolerate hateful speech." But that's only the latest bizarre twist in Susan's troubled life — which has kept
The National ENQUIRER busy covering plenty of secrets and scandals!

Despite her tender age, Susan wasn't immune from being part of the bizarre sexual antics behind the scenes on "The Brady Bunch" — recalling how she had to fight off the affections of costar Mike Lookinland, who played her stepbrother Bobby! "Here's this 8-year-old mini-stud going, 'I love you, I love,' and trying to put his lips and tongues on me," Susan recalled.

But, Susan added, the two were sneaking into Tiger's doghouse to make out by the age of 9! That bizarre upbringing would lead to things really going bad for the former child star after her hit sitcom finally went off the air. By 1995, Susan was declaring that the show destroyed her life — after she was arrested twice for drunk driving and landed in jail!

"Cindy was wholesome and everyone assumed I was just like her," she told a close friend. "But I wasn't! As soon as I turned 16,1 rebelled. I began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. I did everything possible to escape that goody-two-shoes image. But I couldn't even land work on 'The Love Boat' because I was stereotyped as that sweet child from hell!"

Her world came crashing down when she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Los Angeles — being jailed for two days in early 1994. It wasn't Susan's first drinking-and-driving charge. "A 1991 conviction was bargained down to reckless driving, but there was evidence of excessive alcohol ingestion," said Van Nuys deputy city attorney Melody Bormaster, as she prosecuted the case.

"Being jailed was the most horrifying experience of my life," Susan told a pal at the time. "It didn't matter that I was Susan Olsen or Cindy Brady. I was still treated like public enemy No. 1. I had to pay over $1,000 in fines and my driver's license was taken away for two years. I made a mistake - and I'm paying for it!"

After her 1993 DUI conviction, Susan was also put on probation for 60 months and ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol education program. "Susan's life has changed dramatically since her second arrest, but she still feels 'The Brady Bunch' destroyed her life," her close friend said at the time. "She goes back for reunion specials because it's the only work she can get!"

Susan also had to endure rumors that she had become a porn star — in a twist on the urban legend that claimed "Leave It To Beaver" star
Ken Osmond, who played Eddie Haskell, later changed his name to become porn star John Holmes. Susan claimed the rumor began after the porn film "Crocodile Blondee" featured an adult actress with a striking resemblance to the star.

Fortunately, Susan began to turn her life around — but not before going into a side-business cultivating marijuana. "I was, I guess,
technically a drug dealer," she said. But in 1995, she began her radio career with a Los Angeles radio station, and kept working regularly until losing her current job after going into her gay-bashing tirade.

Some friends are seeking sympathy for Susan, however — noting that she just lost
her longtime TV mother Florence Henderson, who passed away from heart disease on Nov. 24, 2016. The ENQUIRER also revealed in 2013 that she's been
struggling with her grown son Michael, who suffers from autism and has grown increasingly violent. "Susan's been dealing with a lot," said an insider, "and it's terrible that the pressure has ended up costing her a job!"
