The Young And The Restless News: Eric Braeden Lashes Out At Fan Making Victor Newman Masks

The Young and the Restless star Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) is quite upset that a fan is using his image and his character’s most iconic saying on homemade masks.

Sharing his frustrations on Twitter, the longtime daytime television actor wrote, “Someone called Red Bubble is knocking off my image! They had better cease doing that right now! I’ll come after you… and you don’t want that!!”

As many fans probably already know, Red Bubble is a global online marketplace for print-on-demand products that features the work of thousands of independent artists. It definitely didn’t take very long for Eric’s fans and followers to comment on the post, with quite a few of them defending the artist who is making the masks, who also just happens to be a huge The Young and the Restless fan.

Some comments included, “Sir if it’s who I assume you are talking about, she is a mega-fan, a wonderful and funny person. She likes to have fun with the show and it’s really nothing more than that. She would never intend to be disrespectful to any actors so I have to say the threat isn’t warranted here.”

Another fan said, “With all due respect, you retweeted a Tweet about this mask back on July 20th. I’m confused about where all this is coming from. She’s a good person who probably thought she had your blessing.”

With that said, Eric replied to his critics with, “Nine of you to be conciliatory, but this is obviously a knock off to be used for a pecuniary purpose.”

Now, whether or not Eric Braeden will in fact “go after” the fan making the masks on Red Bubble remains to be seen. For now, don’t forget that The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on the CBS network. Check your local listings for times.
