LEON ACORD:
2016 Started out as an average one for the star and creator of 'Old Dogs and New Tricks with a FAB Special and gearing up for the shows 4th and final season in 2017, plus co-starring in Bruce Hart's new indie flick, 'OPEN'.So how did our "Pal", Acord became part of one of 2016's biggest scandals?
According to Towleroad, Leon was not happy when he heard L.A. talk radio host Susan Olsen (formerly Cindy Brady of The Brady Bunch), “spewing” misinformation and decided to call her out on it. Sheena Metal and Olsen host the show ‘Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics’.
Said Acord:“It is wildly irresponsible for LA Talk Radio to allow a Trump fanatic to co-host one of their programs, where she can spew her idiotic lies unchecked. (Being a liberal and a patriot are mutually exclusive? Hillary is causing the protests & hate crimes? The Koran is a political tract?) As much as I love Sheena Metal, I think LA Talk Radio needs to give “Cindy Brady” her walking papers. I will not listen to or appear on any shows there from this point forward until she’s gone. This isn’t just disagreeing on, say, tax plans or foreign policy. Susan Olsen spreads outrageous misinformation & it is dangerous and unprofessional.”
Olsen responded by reposting his comment and sending her followers to get him. Said Olsen: “This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in. If you can find him, please send him my love.”
With all the coverage from LGBT and mainstream media (Even Wendy Williams talked about it), Olsen was fired from LA Talk Radio. We applaud our Pal, Acord on his courage and strength who happened to win this battle with a TV Icon with Class and grace. This is why, Leon Acord deserves to be our PAL of the year!
