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.
