Brady Bunch Sisters At War Over Scrapped Reunion
9 July 2009 5:11 AM, PDT

The Brady Bunch actress Eve Plumb has hit back at her former co-star Maureen McCormick after her one-time friend accused her of sabotaging a planned reunion.

McCormick, who played Marcia on the hit 1970s sitcom, recently claimed Plumb, who starred as her sister Jan, turned down the chance to reunite on TV - insisting her former pal can't forgive her for joking about their 'lesbian romance'.

McCormick made a gag about her relationship with Plumb last year - claiming the pair enjoyed a brief fling while filming the show.

She later insisted her comments were meant in jest - but stated Plumb took offence and subsequently refused to appear on Oprah Winfrey's TV series.

The actress wrote on her Fancast.com Internet blog, "All of us said yes except for one person, Eve Plumb, who used to be my best friend but now apparently wants to distance herself from the show and, most troubling, from me.

"I have no idea why, unless she's 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 offence."

Plumb's representatives have hit back at McCormick's claims - her agent , Mark Measures, tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "No one from Oprah called. We haven't turned down anything. There is no feud."

I wonder who is telling the truth? Each of them is telling a different story.

I'm just sorry that they can't get together and straighten this out. Life is too short.

What a mess.

It did not help that Maureen took this public.....Susan Olsen put this on her Facebook. Eve is a little bitter at things, but still Mo should have just not aired this in public.

Maybe Florence Henderson will step in as a mediator and iron out the rift!!!

One can only hope

Jude The Obscure · 07-09-2009, 08:22 PM

Don't know if Flo is all that great....remember the fracas she caused with Christoper Knight and his wife Adrienne?

I was just going to mention that! They need Alice/Ann B. Davis to referee the family!!

IF Maureen was only joking about this remark then I think Eve is really overreacting.

The best person to referee would be Bob Reed, but he is not here to do so.

I was just thinking it's too bad Bob isn't here to sit them down and give them one of his famous speeches!

It is too short and we are not promised tomorrow. Sad that even death does not teach that lesson for some people...

So true.

Eve seemed rather stand-offish from the rest,at the TVLand 35th Anniversary Show, and at one point Maureen praised her for her art talent. I don't know when their major falling out was though.

I wish these two could sit down to a meal of Pork chopsh and appleshouce and work out their differences.
