The actress has previously opened up about her time on the long-running show, admitting she felt “a little bit uncomfortable with the nature” of Cindy’s role.
Olsen appeared on the "Real Brady Bros" podcast with hosts Barry Williams (Greg) and Christopher Knight (Peter) in April, where they reminisced about a scene in which mom Carol (Florence Henderson) tells her daughters she has butterflies in her stomach.

In the scene, Cindy replied, “Are you sleeping with your mouth open, mommy?”
At the time, Olsen was 7 years old and she remembered having an issue with the line. “You're so much smarter than the character and you're so much edgier than your character,” William, 70, told her, explaining that of all the cast, her personality was the “least like” her Brady character. “But here it is right there. You're saying the most idiotic thing imaginable.”

The actress mentioned that her son Mike had noticed the theme in his mother’s character over the years. “And my son said, ‘So you always play the stupid child,’" Olsen said. “And I said, ‘Mike, you're right. I did.’ And he goes, ‘Wow. Do you think you had anything to do with that?’ I'm like, ‘Well, I hope not!’”
