I am not going to say it is right at all what she did or does.Before we judge anyone …..How many here have gotten drunk like that in their life??????

I see alot of judgement being passed around when none of us are perfect.We all make mistakes but still that is no excuse for her actions or anyone elses also.Read the Bible Matt 7….says it all about judging others.

The E-Advocate is officially standing up for Susan Olsen who played Cindy Brady on the Brady Bunch. As the editor, I am attesting to her amazing activist and advocacy work that I have witnessed personally. I met her several times during her week in Colorado when she participated in “Stand Up for Autism.

”

Though she had never done improv comedy before, she went out on a limb and flew out to Colorado to give it a try for a cause that she wholeheartedly believes in. She spent the week supporting autism at several improv comedy benefits and was hilarious. She is a brave and down to earth person who deserves our admiration.

If only this country knew her as I do, as a fellow activist. 51,000 viewers on YouTube have been mislead to believe that she has a drinking problem. She does not. A few glasses of wine at a high altitude would give anyone a surprisingly vicious hangover. She went to the radio station to promote a cause regardless of how she was feeling and I applaud her dedication.

Once again, the E-Advocate is officially standing up for Susan Olsen. She participated in “Stand up for Autism” and we should participate in standing up for her.

Oh, big deal! Like NONE of you has ever had too much to drink. The kid has Asperger’s syndrome, and high altitudes do make people more drunk. I’d be worried if she COULD hold her liquor. Getting drunk with a resulting hangover off of a couple of drinks once in a while doesn’t make a person an alcoholic. At least she had the kahunas to admit it and didn’t cancel the interview for being drunk.

Does anyone else think the DJ was being a total jerk to her and the kid?

Even a change of a couple thousand feet will make you much more susceptible to alcohol’s effects. It’s not uncommon for kids in Colorado to buy booze, then drive up a mountain to drink it because they’ll get way drunker. Plus, the altitude can make people nauseous, and definitely makes hangovers much worse.

If the kid were regularly beaten, he wouldn’t have a mouth on him like that. (That’s not what I’m advocating.) Kids of alcoholics know to keep their mouths shut about their parents drinking.

Well, stella, you could be onto something there.

An adult gets drunk and has a resulting hangover… how unprecedented!!! For those of you that do drink, have a look at yourselves on wedding/party videos please tell me that your children aren’t mortified by your drunken dancing

The son sounds like an average 12 year old smartarse to me to be honest – especially if he has Aspergers, which means he can’t always judge how his comments can be taken up.

Now if she is an alcoholic, that is a different matter – but it’s disgraceful to brand someone as an unfit mother on the basis of one on-air incident.

Like Harley said.

And I love all the judgement being passed around after reading about one isolated incident. That would make me assume that all of you are probably in line for the parent of the year award

Did anyone think for a moment that maybe it was a stunt to get people to go to the show? Or do you always believe everything you read on a gossip site?

I don’t know. I’m sure I saw my dad hungover once or twice. Since I’ve have my kids I haven’t had a hangover yet, but man would I like to earn one. The kid’s comment makes it sound like this isn’t an isolated incident, but it could be, and he’s just repeating something he’s heard to be impressive on the radio.

I’m actually more offended by my neighbours who I witnessed getting high IN FRONT of their 8 year old the other night. I just don’t get some people.
