According to The Washington Post, Victoria Rowell sued both Sony and the CBS network for racial discrimination back in 2015. In her lawsuit, she claimed there were people at "The Young and the Restless" who were working overtime to keep her off-camera. Her attorneys argued that she was "impoverished and blackballed because she had chosen to speak out against discrimination and injustice that she endured and witnessed happen to other African Americans" on the show, per People. What's more, Rowell also claimed that she wasn't given as many opportunities to do paid speaking events and fan meet-and-greets as her costars (via Deadline).

In 2017, Rowell also went the producers of "Days of Our Lives" for not offering her a role on the show, per the Hollywood Reporter. The casting director stated that she simply wasn't a good fit for the soap. However, Rowell argued that as a big name in the daytime television industry, Salem could have used someone like her — especially since "Days" was often last in soap ratings. 

While Rowell is no longer seen in Genoa City or other fictional soap towns, that doesn't mean her career is over. Instead, it's quite the opposite.
