When Susan Olsen recently appeared alongside her The Brady Bunch siblings Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland and Barry Williams at The Chocolate Expo at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the group mostly looked back at fun memories of the show. But working on the series wasn’t all sunshine days: Olsen admitted that playing Cindy Brady wasn’t always easy for her. In fact, she often hated playing the role, because she wasn’t anything like the character she portrayed.

She admitted at the panel, “This is not a popular thing to say, and I’m going to push it, but I did not like Cindy. I did not like the character. I thought she was an idiot. I thought she was a tattletale, which is like so uncool I wanted people to know that I wasn’t her friend but I wasn’t the opposite of her either. The problem, for me, was I didn’t go to school [because of filming]. We were all going to public school when we weren’t working. I would get teased a lot because of the dumb stuff Cindy did while she was in my body, things that I would never do.”
