Y&R: TMZ reporting on Michael Muhney


Recommended Posts

  • Members

This story that named Hunter King was definitely broken first on SON by SharonRocks. The story then spread like wildfire across the soaps boards.

In any case, AM does not work for Sony so MM fans' are sure to be disappointed that it cannot fire her since she works for CBS.

the article is not pulled. The site must be getting too much traffic cause its slow, but its still there

SONY couldnt but could CBS. I seriously doubt anything will come of this . This just seems like it has 9 lives.

John, let us spare you what little suspense your heart may yet harbor: Nothing will come of it. There is nothing to that talk. It's only being whipped up to try and cloud the issue and talk about anything other than Muhney and this accusation.

Oh, so now folks have moved on to retaliation...trying to get others fired too. It's like the old, "well if he must go then so should everyone else involved." This attempt, at least, means that they accept he deserved to be fired. I wonder if her dismissal will make the Stans. feel better as they continue to watch the show after MMs last air date. I doubt it.

You nailed it. There is a desperation to make "someone" pay other than MM. CBS is not going to fire AM over this no matter what fantasy scenario MM fans like John dream up. While AM is likely one of TMZ's sources, how on earth could CBS prove that? And why would it open itself up to a lawsuit from her over a no name actor like MM?

MM is gone deal with it!

Well, let's review:

  • Jeanne Cooper is dead, so she can't be made to "pay" unless they hold a seance
  • Sexual harassment workshops are pointless if you've fired the only alleged perpetrator on-set (other than the late Jeanne Cooper, a.k.a. History's Greatest Monster)
  • Angelica McDaniel cannot be proven to be the source of any leak, which began weeks ago prior to TMZ taking up the story
  • Hunter (Haley) King is not gonna be fired over it
  • Both Victoria Rowell and Michelle Stafford are no longer with the show
  • Eric Braeden and Peter Bergman's fistfight happened at least twenty years ago

So yeah, they're out of options. There's only one thing left to talk about: Muhney.

So much in that highlight Hollywood article makes little sense. But I found this sentence particularly ridiculous and irrational:

"The winner in this? TMZ, who has been ignoring soaps and specifically “The Young and the Restless” for years, they finally got the attention they wanted from soap fans. "

If TMZ is ignoring soaps and Y&R, why would they be coveting soap fan eyeballs to their site. The use of the word "finally" makes it seems like they were just pining for soap fan hits. It just doesn't follow. If they ignore soaps then they don't care about soap fans coming to their site!

This could have been reported 6 months ago, but it often takes a while for HR to investigate the matter and come to a conclusion. King may have filed her complaint with HR/show bosses 6 months ago, but they obviously had to investigate the matter, which meant Muhney was allowed to stay on until they could come to the conclusion that King's accusations had some girth to it and the show needed to fire Muhney in order to protect their asses from a serious lawsuit.

I've seen this happen all the time. Not everyone gets fired ASAP, especially when there's so many parties involved.

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
