Florence Henderson says that while her former TV son Christopher Knight has lived his life in front of the cameras the past few years, "reality [TV] is not for me."

"It's a double-edged sword," Henderson said of shedding an iconic role. Henderson, 74, spoke to reporters on Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles, where she was promoting her upcoming Hallmark Channel film Ladies of the House.

"It can be difficult to move on," said the former Brady Brunch mom. "Christopher Knight is like my son and he was very involved with this person on The Surreal Life," she says referring to model Adrianne Curry. "He asked me to counsel them – I am a certified hypnotherapist – but I didn't really want to do reality TV."

Henderson appeared on the couple's VH1 show My Fair Brady, which she says seemed to steer the couple into an engagement. "They didn't take my advice at all! And as you may have seen, they did get engaged and they did get married," she says. "Maybe I will counsel the divorce."
