She claimed that her agent told her, however, that CBS Studios had an issue with her making a “homophobic rant” to a guest on her political show, LA Talk Radio’sTwo Chicks Talkin’ Politics.

Olsen claimed she agreed to take a course in “political correctness,” even though she’s been “vocal” about her support of Trump and her views on the COVID-19 vaccine.

She alleges that CBS Studios compiled “50 pages” of “dangerous” statements she’s made in the past, which led to the “resounding result” that she wouldn’t be a part of the show.

Olsen alleges that she later had a Zoom meeting, which she describes as an “inquisition” with the showrunner, producer, and her agent in which she was asked about where she stands on “every single issue of the day.”
