The soap world was left in utter disbelief when Michael Muhney, beloved for his portrayal of Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless, was abruptly fired in 2013. The reason? Allegations of sexual misconduct that sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The 38-year-old actor was accused of groping his co-star, Hunter King, during filming.
