'Brady Bunch' Reunion Nixed Over Feud

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 1st 2010 06:53AM

Marcia and Jan are still at each other's throats decades after the end of 'The Brady Bunch,' as RadarOnline is reporting that Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb have such a heated feud going on that it caused the cancellation of an upcoming show reunion.

According to the report, many of the former 'Bunch' actors were set to do a large morning show interview this Wednesday. When McCormick and Plumb found out that both would be a part of the interview, problems began.

"Everyone tells a slightly different story of what happened," the source close to both actresses told Radar, adding that "the bottom line is that they didn't want to be on the same show and the appearance was canceled because of it.

The two actresses have had a sour relationship for years, most recently thanks to McCormick's biography 'Here's The Story,' in which she hinted that there may have been a lesbian relationship with Plumb -- which has since been denied. Plumb felt that McCormick used her to sell books.

During a 2008 'Today' interview, McCormick said that the whole same-sex relationship story stemmed from someone taking a quote way too far. "I was on a late-night show and I said, 'Oh, yeah, I've kissed her.' I have kissed all the girls I worked with! I'm just a very affectionate person, I love to hug and kiss people I care about. It was taken the wrong way in tabloids, and people insinuated all kinds of things."

McCormick goes on to say in the 'Today' interview that she called Plumb "to tell her what happened, but unfortunately, this was one of the things that stopped our relationship. There were also other things, but this was a big factor. It's sad, because she was my best friend. We went through a lot together."

Detailing the roots of the situation even more, McCormick wrote in a Fancast blog that Plumb was likely "mad at the joke I made a few years ago that we'd had a lesbian love affair. I made the crack to be funny -- and for shock value. I'm sorry if she took offense. But hey, it was a joke."

Radar's source says that "the problems between them go back decades ... They've never liked each other ... And there have been many other events where Eve has said, 'I'm not doing it if Maureen is doing it.'"

So whose fault is it this time?

"Some people blame Maureen and some people blame Eve," the source said.

Who are the Brady bunch anyway and who really cares about their stupid petty arguement???

By ashleigh

Stupid Poll -- how about an option for "neither" or "both"? Also, the article states that Maureen says that she and Eve were best friends and have been through so much together, but then it also states that supposedly they've never liked each-other... So which is it? Again, probably somewhere in the middle, and not either extreme, because I've seen them on several shows and events together!

I've seen interviews recently with Eve Plumb, she's a wretched woman. She's very angry and did not want to talk about the Brady Bunch. What else is anyone going to talk to her about? She was very rude and very nasty. I have to believe this is all her fault.

By Mke

How about we just let the entire Brady Bunch thing die off..........
that part of TV was some dead before it began anyway.

My name is Marsha. You can IMAGINE how often I've heard 'Marsha, Marsha, Marsha'.

You think these 2 are juvenile and immature? Did you know that Joan Fontaine and her sister Olivia DeHavilland have not spoken in more than 65 years since their mother's funeral? They are in their 90's and still having hissy fits about each other.

By Tara Mandalay

That feud is amazing. They can't even live on the same continent, Olivia in France and Joan in California. I think I read somewhere (imdb?) that it was about Joan winning the Oscar. I don't know the story about their mother's funeral.

By Olivia & Joan

That's sad about the feud between Olivia DeHavilland and Joan Fontaine. Olivia used to be my Dad's "pin-up girl" during WW2 because he had a poster of her ! I wish those two sisters would make up before one of them passes away.

By Debby

Their mother died in 1975.

By sup

No way ... Fontaine and De Havilland have to be dead ... they'd be 200+ years old ...

By Paulstarnyc

Nope "Sup" they are still alive

By Joe

These are grown women for crying out loud. The only thing these two are famous for is The Brady Bunch. In 30 years both oculd be dead and no one will care. Get over it and get along with it.

By Dan

I could not have said it better! Get over it girls!

By Pete

Totally agree with you--Who the hell are these two has beens to turn down an appearance on the Today show? They are both nobdies and should jump at the chance to be back on TV even if only for a few minutes. Apparently they have still not grown up.
