LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles radio station says former ‘‘Brady Bunch’’ star Susan Olsen has been fired after she got into an online confrontation with openly gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting.

LA Talk Radio announced on Friday that it will not tolerate hateful speech and that it has severed ties with the host.

Us Weekly reports Acord-Whiting criticized Olsen, the co-host of ‘‘Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics,’’ after he was a guest on the show.

Olsen, 55, who played Cindy Brady in the TV show, posted on her Facebook page that Acord-Whiting blocked her ‘‘before I could even get one hit in.’’
