Michael Muhney stunned fans in late December when he announced that he was let go from The Young and the Restless.
No reason was given at the time, but sources tell Cool Top 10 Lists that the five-year veteran who played Adam Wilson Newman was terminated after co-starHunter King complained to producers that Muhney fondled her breasts. On two separate occasions.
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 onthe set for a long time, allegedly bullying and harassing Hunter and others. He even admitted in a recent interview with Soap Central after getting fired, “Sometimes I’ve walked around with a big backpack of hubris.”
As a Y&R fan for 23 years, I never liked Muhney. I felt his storylines were too gloomy. The character was doomed from the beginning. It was only time before the man would have to face the music for all his crimes.
In an interview with SoapCentral.com, Muhney claimed that he did not see this coming. Producers felt the need to take Adam of campus for a while and to bring him back after a few months with a new actor. Now we know the real reason.
Muhney began his stint in 2009 when he replaced Chris Engen. Engen left the show because he was not happy with the direction his character was going. In fact, Engen refused to share a kiss with another man, and walked out.
No word on when Muhney’s last airdate will be or when we should expect Adam Newman to be back on campus. Many fans were quite disappointed with Y&R’s decision and threatened to stop watching the show. What’s your opinion on this latest development? Please comment below!
