CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers finds that star Camryn Grimes (Mariah Copeland) has a voice and she certainly isn’t afraid to use it. The daytime television actress was forced to defend herself on Twitter after comments that she made about the ongoing George Floyd protests that have erupted in big cities all across the nation. While some people are criticizing her comments, others are applauding her for speaking out. Here’s what you need to know.
When one Twitter follower wrote, “Extra Extra, privileged white girl lonely and bored during deadly world pandemic,” Camryn shot back with, “Yes, I am a white girl that understands my privilege. Which is why I try to use it to speak out against injustices other face as a result of their lack of the same privilege. I did nothing to deserve my privilege, and they did nothing deserves less.”

Needless to say, it didn’t take very long for Camryn’s fans to respond to her post. Quite a few of them left comments such as, “Love you as Mariah, but love you more as Camryn, for speaking out against injustices. For people like myself, who are less deserving, because we are born with darker skin,” along with, “This is why we love you Y&R actors so much. You are all posting and speaking up about this horrible situation. You are all wonderful people. Peace and blessings.”
Another fan wrote, “That was an incredibly foolish thing for that person to say. He should apologize to you. Good people can be lonely and bored. You are a great person and an even better person for speaking out. Love you on Twitter and love you on ‘Young and the Restless’.”
