Y&R vet Eric Braeden Defends Co-Stars from Racist Attack

The online community, especially those who follow daytime dramas, recently witnessed a powerful moment when Eric Braeden, known for his iconic role as Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, came to the defense of his colleagues with a statement that was both strongly worded and reminiscent of his on-screen persona.
The incident began when a social media user made racist remarks against General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali. The offensive comments led the official General Hospital account to block the offender. Unfortunately, the same user then targeted several black actors from The Young and the Restless: Sean Dominic (Nate), Christel Khalil (Lily), and Bryton James (Devon). This led to a significant backlash from the community, often referred to as "Soap Twitter." #YR #EricBraeden #VictorNewman
