Marcia and Jan Brady—or rather, the actors who played them—have had a falling-out over their nonexistent lesbian love affair, reports the New York Post. Maureen McCormick recently blogged that Eve Plumb won’t attend a Brady Bunch reunion on Oprah—possibly because of “the joke I made a few years ago that we’d had a lesbian love affair. I made the joke to be funny.”

McCormick also made the joke “for shock value,” she wrote, and possibly for another reason—it was just before her autobiography was published, and the book then achieved best-seller status. For her part, Plumb’s agent denies any bad blood: “No one from Oprah called. We haven’t turned down anything. There is no feud.” (More Maureen McCormick stories.)
