Public service announcement ad bore a pity wave; former “Brady Bunch” star urges fans to “spread the word.”
On Instagram yesterday, March 5, Maureen McCormick raises awareness about the dangers of using R like “a joke, for a laugh, or to bully or hurt someone.”
Words can elevate a person or break them. One former Brady Bunch star’s remark said, “I can’t understand how one can use the R word as a joke, for a laugh, or to bully or hurt someone.” “Join me in putting a stop to the ‘r’ word on Spread the Word Day and every day,” she said. “Let’s speak out against bullying, marginalization, and disparaging remarks. Make your voice heard by committing now!
A photo in the post shows the actress-Maureen McCormick, who plays the oldest sister, Marcia Brady, in the fabulous sitcom aired in the 1970s-with brother Denny, who has an intellectual disability. On the front of both their light blue jerseys is printed “spread the word.”
McCormick did more than that now. He worked to make the achievements of people with disabilities known. In 2020, she was appointed a Special Olympics International Global Ambassador.

The message was well received among the fans. One wrote, “Maureen, I agree! And what I really want to recognize is the great reviving wonder! You radiate a love all can see through you! I’m loving you all!”
“Hard to imagine how exactly that word will be used in 2025. You and Denny are such an inspiration, Maureen. I adore your posts! “Take care,” said another.
“Absolutely 100 percent. I am the mother of a daughter with special needs. Don’t use that word, please,” said another enthusiast.
“I couldn’t agree more as a mother and grandma of kids on the spectrum! We are all truly inspired by you and Denny! Love you all!” said another.
“True hatred usually goes hand in hand with cruel remarks. And we have to combat the evil that lies behind them. “Hey!” to Denny as always, and thanks/love to Mo.” Another responder commented.
