Members ajsp35801 Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think people are bashing her for trying to undermine JFP so blatantly by saying she handled the situation wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I should make it clear that my initial exchange with Carl was about the reactions on this board when Muhney was hired and when Engen was fired. It wasn't an attempt to knock Mark or any former poster, more of a discussion about Muhney and the circumstances that brought him into the show and why many in the press (like Nelson) have used that initial hype to continue to protect Muhney's perverted ass. Like it or not, Mark was a huge part of the discussion back then on that particular topic (and the terrible Adam/Rafe story) on this board, so it was more of a recap of history on this board from my perspective, not to knock Mark down personally. I have nothing against Mark and the few times we corresponded directly via DM, he was always cordial to me. We strongly disagreed with Y&R often, and I acknowledged that was probably one of the reasons he no longer wants to post among us, but I don't think anyone was ripping into him at all for vindictive reasons.

Members PJA Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I wasn't talking about that as I get that. I'm talking about when someone said she should have fired him when she was still in charge since he was that way while she was there when there is no proof that he was.

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 It took years of complaining by women on the show but producers of The Young And The Restless finally had enough of Michael Muhney and fired him. The actor, who plays Adam Newman on the soap is the answer to a lot of my blind items and Soap Suds blind items. For years he has been harassing women and groping them and pressuring them and doing everything he could to make them uncomfortable. According to TMZ, the thing that finally got him fired is that Hunter King who plays Summer was going to sue the show and the producers and Michael and anyone else she could think of if they didn't fire him. She says that he repeatedly fondled her breasts and she was over it and going to quit and sue. There is no way the producers want a line of women to come forward so they fired the guy. Michael is married and has three children. http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2014/01/michael-muhney-finally-fired-from-young.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I love how Nelson is suspiciously quiet on Twitter all of a sudden, and when he did Tweet today, he didn't acknowledge this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 The silence of so many of the soap press who hates JFP is enough for anyone to see that this story has a high probability of being true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm at a loss. If some perv grabbed my penis on the job I would fully expect that person to have just worked his or her last day. I would raise all types of hell and sweep every last stapler, paper weight, and family picture off my boss's desk until sh!t got done. If it is true that this man had repeated reported incidents of sexual harassment, it is (in my best Victoria Lord) *UHtuhlih uhPAWLing* that he lasted as long as he did.

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 So... here's a question. Since Sheryl is such a huge fan, and we ARE talking about a CBS show... do you think Julie and Co. will dare broach this subject, or will they stay mum because of legal reasons?

Members DaytimeFan Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 They will stay silent for legal and PR reasons to make Muhney go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 That is an astute prediction. The other question is this.. will OTHER shows pick this up, The View... Wendy Williams.... will TMZ put this on air, as opposed to just their website? Does it rate that high on their radar? This seems like the type of story that would Make Wendy's mouth water.

Members SFK Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thank you! You just saved me from a tasteless, "Whose boob do I have to grab to get an answer to my question" joke. And I do think that The Talk will address it. How can they resist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 It seems like it has to be true. If it wasn't he would be threatening to sue everyone for libel and defamation of character or whatever the applicable term is. I wish the Entertainment Lawyer at Crazy Days and Nights would dig up his blind items pertaining to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 DaytimeFan may very well be correct. Honestly, I think the "size" of this story would be the greatest factor in TT's choice to discuss it or not. Taking time to give tribute to a CBS daytime legend like Jeanne Cooper is one thing, but spending minutes on MM discussion is iffy to me. Of course the fact that large media outlets have covered the story is not to be ignored, but then again, slow entertainment news weekend? To be fair, a lot of TT viewers are probably also Y&R/B&B viewers who would at least give a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
