🚨 Y&R SHOCKER! Mariah Accuses Cole of DRUGGING & ASSAULT in Paris — A NIGHTMARE, A BABY, A TRIAL & A DYING MAN’S LAST CHANCE?! 😱

“He took everything from me… and now I’m taking it back — in court!”
— Mariah Copeland, in a bombshell statement that’s sending shockwaves through Genoa City!

The City of Lights has become the epicenter of The Young and the Restless’ most explosive scandal in YEARS — and the fallout is shaking every corner of Genoa City.

Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) just dropped a nuclear bombshell: during her recent trip to Paris, she was allegedly drugged and violated by none other than Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) — the once-revered, now disgraced literary figure with deep ties to the Newman dynasty.

💔 A VACATION TURNED VIOLENT

What started as a glamorous getaway has now become a nightmare that won’t end. According to court documents, Mariah claims Cole lured her into an upscale Parisian lounge under the pretense of discussing a publishing opportunity — but by the end of the night, she was unconscious… and woke up in his penthouse apartment with no memory of what happened.

A hospital visit back in Genoa City confirmed the unthinkable: Mariah is pregnant.

🧬 DNA CONFIRMS THE UNIMAGINABLE

In a devastating twist, expedited DNA testing reportedly confirms Cole is the father. The shocking evidence has triggered a full-blown international criminal investigation, with prosecutors in both France and the U.S. circling Cole as the central suspect.

Mariah, described by insiders as “shattered but determined,” is pressing forward with a criminal trial, and she’s not backing down. With a growing baby bump and unwavering resolve, she’s demanding justice.

“He used power, trust, and drugs to take advantage of me,” she reportedly told friends. “I don’t care how sick he is. He doesn’t get to hide behind that.”

💉 COLE’S TRAGIC TURN — CANCER STRIKES!

As if the case weren’t already twisted enough, another bombshell emerged this week: Cole Howard is battling terminal pancreatic cancer — and is now being treated behind bars.

Sources say Cole collapsed during an interrogation and was rushed to a prison infirmary. His condition is listed as “critical,” and his legal team is requesting medical release on humanitarian grounds.

But Mariah isn’t budging.

“He didn’t show me mercy,” she said. “Why should I show him any now?”

😱 VICTORIA TORN: LOVE, LOYALTY & LOATHING

Caught in the crossfire is Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) — Cole’s former flame and one of the few people who still believed in him. Now, with the man she once loved fighting for his life and accused of an unspeakable crime, Victoria faces an emotional implosion.

Insiders say Victoria is launching a private appeal to Mariah for compassion, even as she begins to question whether the man she once trusted was ever who she thought he was.

“If this is true,” Victoria whispers in an upcoming episode, “then I’ve been in love with a monster.”

👶 A BABY BORN OF DARKNESS?

As Mariah’s due date looms, so does a decision that could shape the rest of her life: Will she raise this child, knowing the horror tied to its conception? Or will she walk away from it all?

Whispers around the Newman ranch suggest Sharon and Tessa are rallying behind Mariah, offering their full support — and even considering raising the child together if Mariah decides she can’t.

🧨 THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY BEGINS!

Courtroom drama is set to explode in upcoming episodes, with jaw-dropping testimonies, shocking evidence, and a surprise witness from Paris who may tip the scales once and for all.

But with Cole’s health rapidly declining, time is running out. Will justice be served — or buried along with him?

📺 COMING UP ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS:

• Mariah takes the stand — and breaks down in court!

• Victoria uncovers a letter from Cole that changes everything… or does it?

• Sharon and Tessa face a life-altering decision!

• And a secret camera recording from Paris surfaces… but who leaked it?

This isn’t just drama — it’s Y&R at its most explosive.
Buckle up, soap fans. The truth is out, the emotions are raw, and Genoa City may never recover.
