Soap star sacked for ‘fondling breasts’


A star from soap opera The Young and the Restless has allegedly been fired for repeatedly groping co-star Hunter King.

Michael Muhney, 38, shocked fans of the soap opera last month when he was suddenly dismissed from his role as Adam Newman, who he has played since 2009.

While his “outpsoken nature” was initially cited as the reason for his departure, new reports allege that Muhney was fired due to sexual harassment.

According to TMZ, 20-year-old King complained about Muhney’s inappropriate behaviour to executives. She supposedly claimed that Muhney “fondled her breasts” on two separate occasions, both of which were unsolicited and unwanted advances.
