What were you thinking, Bold & Beautiful

? Were you thinking? You do not have to have a masters in sensitivity to know how gross it was for the show to repost to its official Instagram page a scene in which Luna stalks Will at Forrester Creations (after sneaking in as the most obviously disguised pizza-delivery man ever) and, worse, captioning said post, “Would you say no?”

Are you kidding? This isn’t about whether Lisa Yamada is gorgeous; she is. But her character is [bleeping] sexually harassing Will. That’s the clip. He says no. He says she needs to go. Who over there requires a lesson in consent? This isn’t cute, it’s horrifying — especially in light of the fact that Luna later got Will drunk off his ass, put on his girlfriend Electra’s party mask and raped him without him having any idea who she was.

The show may refuse to say the “R” word, but we’re gonna call it what it was: rape.

To be clear, we adore Yamada, who is an electrifying presence on

Bold & Beautiful (and gives great interview answers to boot). But WTH is the show selling with this post? “Hey, watch us. We have hot girls ‘making their move’ on guys who have said loudly, clearly and often that they are not down for it.”

It’s not a good look, Bold & Beautiful. Neither is the fact that everyone on the show talks about “that night” as if it was just a case of bad decisions being made. Nuh-uh. Luna targeted Will. She made sure that he wound up in a position in which he couldn’t say no; he was so blotto, he barely knew where he was, never mind who was macking on him.

Cory Wharton Says Daughter Maya’s Open-Heart Procedure Has Inspired Him to Give Back to Families in Need

“Hey, MTV…lemme know if you wanna film a ‘Teen Mom: Philanthropic Fathers’ special!”

Cory Wharton says his three-year-old daughter Maya’s latest open-heart surgery has inspired him to give back to other children and families, noting that his charitable efforts are “a far cry from MTV.”

As The Ashley previously told you, Cory and ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge’s daughter Maya, who was born with a rare form of heart disease called tricuspid atresia, recently underwent her final open-heart surgery called the Fontan. Two weeks after the surgery, Taylor– who also shares daughter Mila with Cory– told fans that the procedure had improved Maya’s oxygenation levels, as well as her overall coloring.

(According to the Cleveland Clinic website, a Fontan procedure “improves circulation in people who have only one working heart ventricle. This problem happens because of one of several congenital heart diseases. The Fontan procedure lets oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of your body go straight to your pulmonary artery– and then lungs– for oxygen instead of going through your heart first.”)

Cory revealed to TMZ this week that, while Maya’s surgery was successful and she was ultimately discharged from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles after a two-week recovery, he realizes that some families aren’t as fortunate.

“I was just happy that we were able to leave the Children’s Hospital, because there’s a lot of families there that they’re not gonna leave, they’re waiting a year or two for a heart transplant,” he said. “ … It’s sad man, walking around there, but there were people in that building that found a way to smile and … just by talking to them over time, I was just like, these people are staying positive when they’re at their lowest and it was crazy for me to see and experience.”

Cory went on to say that the recent experience has inspired him to find ways to help those in need.

“I’m just so thankful to God that we made it out of the hospital, my daughter’s fine and now the biggest thing for me is, like, I’m trying to give back,” he said. “I wanna do whatever I can to try to help out [at] Children’s Hospital or [with] young ones that are in need.

“I wanna give back a little bit … it’s a far cry from MTV, but I wanna try to do something positive with what I got going now,” he added.

As you may remember, Cory and Taylor previously shared that they learned about Maya’s heart condition when Taylor was about 22 weeks pregnant, at which point they were told that Maya would need a series of procedures due to the condition. At just six days old, Maya had a stent put in place; later that year, Maya– then seven-months-old– underwent her first open-heart surgery, during which she suffered some complications.

Taylor shared this month that Maya should not need any more open-heart surgeries in her lifetime; and if she does, it would not be until adulthood.
