The answer is that he doesn't keep getting hired by "anyone". He keeps getting hired by Jill Farren Phelps. And now Frank Valentini, but he was only on two or three days.

And in short doses, as Stavros, he is admittedly very effective. (Jill had originally planned for Stavros to be on the show long-term when she hired RKK in 2001.) Perhaps if/when he is brought back next, they can install an invisible glass partition for scenes featuring Stavros and human women.

But it is odd that ABC allowed him to be hired.

I found it really distasteful when some of the online press were saying people just needed to suck it up about RKK and GH needed to put him on contract. It's not like any of this is news. I think he is very, very good in the role but I can't honestly say that he belongs on a contract after all the stories that precede him.

Corday hired him too despite rumors about his anger issues so its more than just JFP. That's 3 different people

That I didn't know about.

Well, damn. What a pervert. And for those saying sources shouldn't leak this out of respect for Hunter King? I *highly* doubt Hunter is the one who is desperate to keep this quiet. In fact, I would be willing to bet that she'd love to scream it from the mountain tops and expose him for the pig he is - which may prevent further young actresses from being assaulted by him down the line. So for those implying that we should keep hush hush on this predator, please pack your [!@#$%^&*] and make your exit quietly.

If this is true and I can definitely buy it, I still think it was incredibly irresponsible for anyone to mention the actress's name. That should have been left anonymous.

It would have leaked sooner or later knowing soaps, but you don't want to be the one to do it. Not to the alleged victim. If she wants to speak on it she can and should, but that shouldn't be left up to soap twitter and forums. Too late now, sadly.

At the end of the day, I think it all rests on how Hunter feels about it. And like I said, I'm willing to bet she is not upset that this is out. If she is, then it's unfortunate. But MM definitely deserved to be exposed. Not to mention, if the story leaked as "MM assaults young actress on set!" - people would have put two and two together. Who else would it have been?

If it's true, then yes, he should be named and shamed. There's any number of people in daytime who do a lot of [!@#$%^&*] who aren't named, and I'm not sure the old soap press would ever have broken this themselves. I can remember a couple old stories nobody touched in the last ten to fifteen years outside of a few weak tea blind items that they should have, but instead they kept printing happy talk.

But that's not the same thing as naming the actress. That, IMO, was a breach of her privacy. Speaking on that is down to her.

Thank You!!!

A very reliable source told me that Muhney was sexually harassing Hunter King, who plays Summer. He fondled her breasts once and did it again when they were hanging out with the actor who plays Fenn. King wasn't having it and neither was SONY. She is of age (19) but he's 38 and married! Apparently she went to the higher ups and he was dismissed.

JFP is NOT the villain in this- she actually did fight for him to say (and perhaps settle the dispute within the cast) but SONY insisted he be let go, likely to avoid a possible lawsuit and terrible publicity.

Which makes the interview that Muhney gave all the more disgusting.

I believe there was a Blind Item about this in SOD not long ago, and I almost wonder if Branco's BI was about this as well.

Anyhow, that's the 411 on why he was let go- hence DD and Logan saying there was more to the story and Giddens keeping quiet. They're all in the know. Why else would Daytime Confidential not have put out an outraged story, as much as they diss JFP's Y&R?

This makes me even MORE disgusted by Branco- you'd think he has the whole story, though maybe all of the reliable sources know better than to tell him anything.

Absolutely disgusting. Muhney should have thought about his wife, three kids, and cancer stricken aunt when he was trying to fondle a 19 year old girl. Poor Hunter King. Thank you (and juniorz) for sharing the good lipton!

This is a new low for Ole Nellie

Nellie likes bottom feeding.

Nellie likes bottom feeding.

Nellie likes to bottom for most male soap stars, in general.

I was just going to post something like that myself.

Oh, let's not.

Let's.

But, all jokes aside - If this is confirmed as true, it may just be the final nail in the coffin of Nellie's "career".

Man... WTF is it with the backstage antics of this freaking show ?
