The drama began when a controversial post on Twitter targeted several actors from *General Hospital* and *The Young and the Restless* with offensive and racist remarks.
Initially, the offensive post focused on *General Hospital*’s Tana Ali, prompting the show’s official account to block the user.
But the situation escalated when the same user directed hateful comments towards black actors from *The Young and the Restless*, including Dominic, Crystal C., and Brighton James.
The soap community, known for its passionate fans, quickly rallied against this unacceptable behavior. Nicole Brown attempted to flag the *Young and the Restless* account for action, but when that didn’t succeed, a savvy Twitter user decided to tag Eric Braden, hoping to draw his attention to the issue. Braden, known for his strong stance on important matters, did not disappoint.
He responded with a powerful and fiery message, calling out the racist comments with his signature intensity. His response, featuring his well-known tagline “You got that,” went viral, and Victor Newman started trending on Twitter as fans and supporters shared the message widely.
We at Soaps.com stand firmly against all forms of hate, including racism, and commend Braden for his passionate and vocal stance. His response is a reminder of the importance of standing up against such negativity, and you can read the full exchange, expressed in the iconic voice of Victor Newman, below.
