‘The Young and the Restless’ Fans Outraged as Troll Calls Actors ‘Slaves’ and ‘Victor Newman’ Character Responds

Praise for Victor Newman, the fictional business tycoon from “The Young and the Restless,” will be seen on quite a few social media platforms. The character is played by longtime actor Eric Braeden.

The 83-year-old became a trending topic for all the right reasons after he defended his colleagues who were the goal of hate speech from user X.

The woman who calls herself Kerry and presents herself as someone who “respects the Holy Bible” and supports “Trump 2024 MAGA” learned the hard way that her vile digital attacks on non-white soap stars is not going to be tolerated on the day drama lovers, not to say the plays and their casts.

Her viral “look around and find out” moment got here a month after her May 31 tweet by which she wrote: “Three faces that are destroying the show. Everyone thinks they’re high, but they’re not. They can’t wait for someone to put these slaves in their place. #YR” together with a photograph of Sean Dominic, Christel Khalil and Bryton James, who play Nate, Lily and Devon, respectively, on the series, which is now in its fiftieth season.

On June 20, “Community” actress Yvette Nicole Brown make clear the post, calling on “The Young and the Restless” to follow “General Hospital”‘s lead and ban Kerry for an inflammatory tweet and her alleged history of using racist speech against actors on each shows. Among those condemning Kerry’s behavior online was Newman – or, well, Braeden.

He joined the solid in 1980, seven years after his debut, and has a repute as a no-nonsense billionaire.

When Braeden reacted harshly to Kerry, he wrote: “These three actors are my dear colleagues; they have more class than LOW LIFE can imagine! We will block your racist ass, you understand, bitch??!” The second a part of his response, “you understand,” was a nod to his infamous on-screen persona. Fans went crazy, cheering for his actions.

“Damn, Victor Pulled that fan in for FILTH!” he wrote one person. Another said: “Eric Victor was never, ever one to be played with. He comes to our cooking meetings, if only they thought!!!”

Several others note that Newman’s character has been beloved by black women for many years and that their deep respect for him has deepened due to his viral anti-racism statement.

On X user he wrote“Victor Newman isn’t acting, but Eric Braeden is a wild man, I love it!” Being the second user he said“That’s why our grandmas and moms love Victor Newman. Always focused on business.”

It is unclear whether Kerry has been banned by the soap opera.

However, General Hospital not only blocked her, but additionally issued a press release opposing her hate speech. They wrote on Twitter: “General Hospital does not tolerate hatred or bigotry of any kind. Racism has no place in Port Charles. #GH is for everyone.” Facing criticism over her racism, she made her account private, protecting her tweets from non-followers.
