Cindy Brady is at the center of controversy. 

Child star Susan Olsen, who was working as a co-host for LA Talk Radio's Two Chicks Talkin' Politics, first came under fire on Wednesday when actor Leon Acord-Whiting accused the Brady Brunch actress of spreading "outrageous information" following their on-air interview. 

"It is wildly irresponsible for LA Talk Radio to allow a Trump fanatic to co-host one of their programs, where she can spew her idiotic lies unchecked. (Being a liberal and a patriot are mutually exclusive? Hillary is causing the protests & hate crimes? The Koran is a political tract?) As much as I love Sheena Metal, I think LA Talk Radio needs to give 'Cindy Brady' her walking papers," he wrote on Instagram.

"I will not listen to or appear on any shows there from this point forward until she's gone. This isn't just disagreeing on, say, tax plans or foreign policy. Susan Olsen spreads outrageous misinformation & it is dangerous and unprofessional."

Olsen did not take kindly to the statement and fired back on her own Facebook page, calling Acord-Whiting a "little piece of human waste."

"This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in. If you can find him, please send him my love," she wrote to her fans. 

According to reports, Acord-Whiting subsequently shared a screenshot of a private message Olsen sent him. Though the post has since been taken down, Olsen allegedly called the openly gay actor in part "the biggest f----t in the world." 

By Friday, LA Talk Radio announced that it had severed ties with "a host that veered off [their] direction."

"LA Talk Radio takes pride in its close and collaborative relationship with the LGBT community, and will continue to provide a home for those who have hopeful and positive messages of togetherness and tolerance to share with our listeners," the company wrote in a statement on Facebook.

"We will not tolerate hateful speech by anyone associated with our radio station and have severed our ties with a host that veered off the direction in which we are going."
