I had never even heard of that Highlight Hollywood site until MAB did her backtracking act on MM there.

I'd heard of them because they were shilling hardcore for MAB when JFP first took over Y&R, claiming, I think, that she was going to replace as many people as she could with Hollywood Heights actors.

The sad thing is how many people, then and now, believed them.

I was just checking out MM's Twitter account. I noticed that after tweeting regularly, he makes a series of odder than usual tweets on November 5 and then stops tweeting until Dec 17 when he announces that he has been fired and his last filming day was Dec 19th. I think that he was fired on November 5th, given the required six week notice and let go at then end of his 26 week cycle as Sony was legally allowed to do. So maybe there was no formal investigation of the bullying or the sexual harassment charges. Rather Sony saw the writing on the wall for a lawsuit and decided to dump him.

They wouldn't have had to wait to fire him if it was due to sexual harassment. Those cycles are for people being fired for storyline or show reasons, not behavioral ones.

That is exactly what happened. MAB was shouting her mouth off and then she she realized the severity of the incident she rushed back to cover her ass. Her entire statement was ridiculous anyways. She basically admitted that even during her regime that MM was an issue that she did nothing about. Not saying he was accused of groping young girls under her watch but clearly he was a problem. We all saw it with his constant meltdowns. Dude had issues.

The one brightside in all of this is that his offscreen tantrums will finally be gone. He was the source of most of that drama anyways. Not to say that Y&R isn't a shitshow behind the scenes, because I am sure it is, but at least it will stay there now.

She never said he was like that during her tenure.

Seriously, the departure of Adam for a good long while and the return of David Tom is enough to make any Y&R fan dance a jig of happiness.

Adam should have been in prison anyway but I do wish it was for his past crimes as well not just this hit & run (I'm assuming his going to do some time for this.) That way he could be in prison for a while.

I liked Billy Miller as Billy and hate recasts BUT don't mind them casting someone who has already played him. If it had been anyone but DT and maybe even RB I wouldn't have liked that.

Yeah, DT originated the role.... so it's a win win situation, BM gets to pursue his primetime career, and we have the original actor back to play the role.

That is what I was thinking...who are these people that can only come up with $785 in 3 weeks. There must be very few willing to put up their money. Good!

I think most are welfare queens with nothing better to do all day than troll the internet, they don't got no money to give to anything. They might as well buy themselves a great big kite with his picture on it, and try to fly it above CBS television city and see what that gets them.

I think the silent majority backed away when they found out the reason. It gives me a little more faith in humanity.

lol. That sounds so dramatic, but it's totally on point.

I think that this is very true. I have noticed it is the same small number people defending MM on the soap boards, but far more are saying that he was wrong and standing up for HK even after some declare that they were are MM fans. I think that most of the enthusiasm that they had in supporting him dissipated as the story spread across social media and the soap boards.

I am extremely excited about the show after Jan 31. David Tom returns as Billy. He is a good actor...and I won't have to look at wild eyed Adam nor deal with travesty that is his character for months to come. Yes...very excited about the future of the show.

Same here! I hope my love for Villy will translate onto DT...

I think JFP's regime has been way more subtle with Adam than MAB ever was. They even showed very human aspects to his revelation that he hit Delia, re: the transplant - up until a certain point - I think sometime around the time he burned her scarf. I remember posting that MM's performance during that time could have been lauded if his character had been through some sort of proper redemption. There was about 3 days when I saw a human side to Adam. Unlike with MAB, I doubt JFP would have had him do an "in your face" about face within two weeks. (Do you all remember how humble Adam was when he went blind and then like 3 days later when he got his sight back, he (MM) sort of smirked into the camera?) I have no idea if I will hate him even more by Jan. 30, but so far, nothing JFP's regime has written so far has made me hate him more than I did already.

That burning of the scarf multiplied my hate because it was a reminder of Ashley. Then to attempt to show him as some romantic hero and great father while doing this...

Franco's real twin who used to be retarded.

Let's be real.

I think MM could really pull it off.

come on... you know you want it!

come on... you know you want it!

There goes my breakfast.

Any attraction I may have had to his face has now been cured.

EWWWWWWW!!
