This past week Florence Henderson – aka Mrs. Brady – told a bunch of reporters that she told Christopher Knight – aka Peter Brady – not to marry his wife, original America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry. It seemed pretty odd and out of place, given that she was being interviewed about her upcoming TV movie. Henderson also said that while she declined to counsel them before their marriage, she’d consider counseling their divorce. Snap!
It took a few days, but both Christopher and Adrianne have responded. Christopher released the expected adult, mature response – albeit on his MySpace blog. Adrianne released a similarly mature response via her PR rep – but got a little more pissy on her MySpace blog.
I forgive Florence…
She may not be asking for it, but I am going to give it to her. My anger is released. I am sorry she is acting this way, and am a little embarrassed for her. I was nothing but nice to her when we met, and she had it out for me before I said a word. I even hope her tv movie does well, since she is so desperate to generate attention for it. I pray she has the right mind to at least give my husband a call and apologize to HIM. She disrespected him and hurt him in her attempt for attention. If she loves him as much as she says, I know she will do the right thing. I wish this could have worked out better. Lord knows I tried to connect with “this person”, but it is obvious that it was never meant to be. I just wish she could be more professional about this. It’s weird to have someone on the level of Mr Rogers and Barney hate you. I must be the bad child ; )

I’m embarrassed to say that the little bit of reality television I’ve ever watched was pretty much all about this couple. I saw them once or twice on the Surreal Life and just found the whole relationship so odd that I had to keep watching. They also spent a little time chilling on Dr. Phil’s couch last year. I’ve always found Adrianne to be pretty immature, but in this case I think her feelings are totally warranted.
Florence Henderson’s little TV movie wouldn’t have garnered the even the tiniest bit of attention were it not for her comments about their marriage. And it had nothing to do with anything, and seems like a huge betrayal of her supposedly close relationship with Knight. I always thought she was reasonably classy. The day you make Adrianne Curry look mature and intelligent is the day you should seriously consider reexamining your behavior.

Why is it such a horrible thing to you all the time for people to post things on myspace or facebook???? Isn’t that what those things are FOR? Doesn’t it speak better as presumably being directly from the person themselves rahter than some paid mouthpiece?
You talk down to those of us who use myspace or facebook all the time and I don’t quite understand why.
Oh, yeah, there was a topic of conversation here, lol…. I like Adrianne. She’s wild and fun and free and curious about life (and no, I don’t mean BI curious, I think that whole part was scripted)and she helps keep Knight young and not so uptight and anal retentive.
Henderson needs to really keep her mouth shut about other people. She totally reminds me of Sally Jessy Raphael.
I like Christopher and Adrianne, they seem like they have fun together. I used to love Mrs. Brady and I really thought that Flo Henderson was just like her until I saw her on the Surreal Life. She was so high and mighty telling everyone else that they had problems and she was going to “fix” them. Wasn’t she the same lady that slept with Greg Brady?
Really who the hell does she think she is? She needs to shut her pie hole.
I like it when celebrities use MySpace to issue their own responses. They’re a lot more colorful and gossip-worthy usually and you can really get a feel for their style. Jenna Fischer is one celebrity who amazes me with how funny she is in interviews and is an excellent writer who says candid, funny things on MySpace.
Here’s her MySpace and it has automatic music:

I thought myspace and facebook were for teenagers. Adults really use this sort of thing?
What a great response from Adrienne I love it. I think Florence is old and is jealous.. seriously.. poor thing.
i can’t help but think that a reporter must have asked her opinion, as oppose to her just offering it out of the blue. i’m mean really, do you think she would answer “no comment” on something as trivial as that couple.
and why shouldn’t she speak her mind–we all do!
At least when celebs post on their MySpace or Facebook page, it feels like they are really speaking. As opposed to the filter of an agent, manager and PR Rep that will then send out a watered down version of what is really happening.
I think Flo was out of line to discuss their biz like that but seriously, Adrienne and Chris also put their lives out there for the world to scrutinize. From where I’m sitting, I see nothing more than an aged former child actor with his beautiful, but gold-digging and extremely IMMATURE, redneck-acting, child-bride, who shamelessly seeks attention at every turn and who has to use her body to be a successful “model”. I’d love to see her model with clothes on for a change. I’d love for them to both disappear and devote themselves to a life away from the cameras. Then it will be easier to root for them as a married couple and not just the attention-starved couple they portray to the public. 😕
If Florence did say it, then i am sorry as this has ruined their friendship.
Every time I see him, I am even more sorry for Christopher, so so sorry that he was dickmatised and manipulated into marrying this stupid, ignorant, disgusting brat. He really is a too nice a man to be under the spell of this hoochie.
This just aggravates me; why validate what some mouth-breathing critic has to say by responding to it ? Florence God bless her, hasn’t seen a ray of career sunlight since when- can anyone tell me?
adrienne is a real sicko. But she does have a right to be ticked off in this case.
Ri…yes, adults use MySpace. Our family uses it to keep pictures and family updates posted while we live overseas. Our families love it because they can keep up with how we and their granddaughter are doing. I love it because I can keep all the mothers and stepmothers and mothers-in-law and sisters and aunties happy without having to send thousands of emails. Since you don’t have a MySpace page, I suggest you curb your nasty judgmental tone about it. It just makes you sound like a technology-challenged-and-embarrassed-about-it senior. Not everything these wacky kids are using these days is beneath your dignity. MySpace is what you make it, and it gets used for whatever you want to use it for.
Was Adrianne the one who could barely talk on ANTM? Man, she was a rocket scientist!
I second most of your comments, Aspen. I too live overseas and Myspace and facebook are great ways of keeping up with my family and friends. They offer freee ways to chat in addition to posting pictures, sending emails, etc.
I read case reports for a crime that was partially solved by the use of a myspace account the family set up. The possibilities are endless. 🙂
@ Aspen & Andrea: Jesus Christ, bitches. It was a question. Don’t jump to “tone” conclusions. Take your meds and chill out.
