When Eileen Davidson left "The Young and the Restless" in 2018, she tweeted the news and had nothing but good things to say about the soap she called home off and on since the early 1980s.

"Yes, I am leaving my second home @YandR_CBS in September. I've been so blessed to be able to play Ashley Abbott and work with the amazing people on the show and have nothing but gratitude and love for all!!! Time for a little more control over my day to day!"

However, at the time, there were rumors floating around that several "Y&R" actresses chose to leave the soap due to harassment from former executive producer Mal Young. In 2018, Highlight Hollywood, which no longer seems to be in business, reported that a lawsuit was brought against Young, but it never came to fruition, according to Soaps.com. It was Young who was also blamed for Christel Khalil (Lily) and Mishael Morgan (Hilary/Amanda) leaving the soap. Since then, both actresses have returned on a full-time basis. By the end of 2018, Young left "Y&R."
