Listen to your pretend TV stepmother
Continuing with additional Brady information, here’s another tidbit of information for you Brady-gossip hounds. Mrs. Brady told Christopher Knight not to marry Adrianne Curry. Big deal, Flo! I think everyone told Christopher Knight not to marry Adrianne Curry. I know I did! Of course I was talking to the television at the time, but that still counts.
Don’t do it, Peter!
Florence Henderson says that while her former TV son Christopher Knight has lived his life in front of the cameras the past few years, “reality [TV] is not for me.”
“It’s a double-edged sword,” Henderson said of shedding an iconic role. Henderson, 74, spoke to reporters on Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles, where she was promoting her upcoming Hallmark Channel film Ladies of the House.
“It can be difficult to move on,” said the former Brady Brunch mom. “Christopher Knight is like my son and he was very involved with this person on The Surreal Life,” she says referring to model Adrianne Curry. “He asked me to counsel them – I am a certified hypnotherapist – but I didn’t really want to do reality TV.”
Henderson appeared on the couple’s VH1 show My Fair Brady, which she says seemed to steer the couple into an engagement. “They didn’t take my advice at all! And as you may have seen, they did get engaged and they did get married,” she says. “Maybe I will counsel the divorce.”
Aw, snap! Did Mrs. Brady really bring the snark like that. The old girl has still got it. I wonder how much snark she had to hold back during those years she did The Brady Bunch. I bet all the really good stuff went on backstage, or at the end of the day when Mrs. Brady and her best girlfriend, Mr. Brady got together for cosmopolitans and snarked on all the stupid shit they had to do all day. They probably gave each other pedicures and talked about how all those damn kids would end up milking the success of this lame show for years, writing books and appearing on reality shows and throwing up during radio interviews. Do bad we missed out on all that snark. Hey Mrs. Brady, if you’re readying this, we like your style! Come write a guest entry some day! We’ll even give you your own category if you want or you can practice your hypnotherapy skills on us.
But like you tried to warn Chris, we have to warn you: don’t marry Judge Judy. That lady gets bitchy. That is yet another reality show you don’t want any part of (even though it is awesome!)
