After the news broke on Wednesday, fans quickly showed support for the 39-year old actor through social media.

The actor, however, said recently that there is no truth to the allegations, Enstarz said. Muhney was quoted by the site when he responded to fan who asked about the issue, "Yes. It was only a salacious rumor."
After Adam appeared to have been killed off in the show, the show still hinted that the actor will return. However, it was only his hands that were shown, hinting the character's possible return to Genoa City. Viewers of Y&R were still wondering whether a new actor will play the role or the character will be killed off once and for all.
