I don't understand what goes on in people's heads that they can continue to defend a pervert like MM, much less attack his victim.

MAB and Muhney stans need to head for Stubhub so they can get a discount for all the seats they all need to take.

THIS +1000

Mainstream? I don't know about that. I think EB, PB and even KSJ are probably the most recognizable. But I don't think most people would know who HK or MM is..

My hubby watches the show and he had no clue who MM was.. But he does know Eb was on rat patrol. LOL

I don't think it's fair to say that he *MUST* have been bullying/groping people at Y&R before this incident because "once a bully/groper, always a bully/groper". People who exhibit this type of behaviour are crafty and opportunistic, they will only do what they think they can get away with, or more specifically, with who they think they can get away with doing it to. The urge may be pathological, but the action is not necessarily so.

Actually it is not just fair, it is accurate because that is exactly what the TMZ article states. I know that people are focused on HK, but the TMZ article clearly states that MM was bullying HK AND OTHERS for a long time.

TMZ reported, "Sources tell us ... the new allegations were the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." Muhney -- who is married with 3 kids -- had been a problem on the set for a long time, allegedly bullying and harassing Hunter and others.

I didn't know HK before she took over for the other Summer.

Me either.

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.

I checked that out too and he is strangely quiet.

The thing is talking about this on The Talk does nothing positive for CBS. It is a 'bad news' story and The Talk, on the whole, keeps more in line with 'good news' and lighter topics.

It doesn't achieve anything for CBS to highlight something negative about their number one daytime soap...notice how there has not been any official word from CBS, Sony or Bell Dramatic Serial Company.

They all want this to go away without making any of them look bad, so they had to drive a stake through Muhney with the truth, clearly leaked to TMZ, in order to silence their misinformed critics.

This story will blow over by the end of the month.

ITA. It isn't in CBS interest to keep this story going and certainly not Sony's. The longer this stays in the news the more questions get asked about his other victims, how long the behavior went on, who knew about it, etc.... Nobody wants to have to answer those questions.

But I hope someone holds their feet to the fire and they have to answer them.

TV Guide picked it up. Doesn't CBS own TV Guide now?

The way he takes to twitter. I can see him bullying some of his co stars & maybe writers. Maybe that's why his storyline became shittier after awhile.

Ugh, those comments. People suck.

I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing from other victims and/or witnesses of his behavior soon. Not just from Y&R and Veronica Mars but from other places where he worked.

Michael Logan (@TVGMLogan) tweeted at 7:46 PM on Sat, Jan 04, 2014: "@xxxxxxxx @TVGMLogan NO comment on the TMZ Muhney story? #YR" Nope. Just saddened & horrified at the hatred coming from his loyalists.

"Loyalists"

LOL

I'm surprised he said that.

Perhaps this will teach the soap 'press' to stop treating certain actors as gods and enabling their fans.

I can decide if some of these "loyalists" are incredibly naive or simply malicious deflectors. Arguments like, 'he's a married father, so he wouldn't'. What?! Since when? The most pathetic may be, 'well, she's just a little girl, he wouldn't be interested in her.' I can't even, with that stupidity. Have these people ever met a straight middle aged man? A 20 year old, young woman is not a little girl. HHK is a very pretty actress in her prime. Plenty of men, plenty of 40 year old + men, are going to be interested, right or wrong. Hopefully, most of them don't think they have the right to get grabby.

Hardly. These people don't realize just how much a part of the problem they are. I do hope and pray that this sordid mess finally puts a nail in Nelson Branco's contributions to the genre but I doubt it.
