History of Jabot Cosmetics

Jabot has had a tumultuous history. In the early 1980s John considered following his son Jack's advice to sell Jabot but then changed his mind once he found out that the company offering to buy Jabot (Mergeron Enterprises) was owned by his ex-wife Dina Abbott Mergeron (Marla Adams). Dina Mergeron (previously Abbott) is a fictional character in the American Soap Opera The Young and the Restless. Marla Adams (born August 28, 1938 in Ocean City New Jersey) is an American Soap opera actress, best known for her A few years later Jabot had another shake up when after finding out his son Jack Abbott (then Terry Lester, now Peter Bergman) was having an affair with his younger wife Jill Foster Abbott (then Brenda Dickson, now Jess Walton) he disowned Jack and fired him from Jabot. John "Jack" Abbott Jr is a Fictional character on the Soap opera The Young and the Restless. Terry Lester ( April 13, 1950 - November 28, 2003) was an American actor Peter Bergman (born June 11, 1953) is a three time Emmy Award -winning American Soap opera Actor. Jill Abbott (née Foster; previously Reynolds, Chancellor, Thurston, Brooks, and Sterling) is the only original Brenda Dickson (born February 3, 1949 in Long Beach, California) is an American Actress. Jess Walton (born February 18, 1949) is a 2-time Emmy Award -winning American Actress, best known for her role as Jill Foster John filed for divorce and because he didn't want the facts about Jack and Jill's affair made public he gave Jill a divorce settlement that included 1/4 ownership of Jabot, an executive position worth $150,000 a year, and a seat on the Jabot Board of Directors. John replaced Jack with his new son-in-law Brad Carlton (Don Diamont), who was a salesman to that point. Bradley "Brad" Carlton (né George Kaplan) is a Fictional character on CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless Don Diamont (born Donald Feinberg on December 31, 1962 in New York City, New York) is an American Actor Jill and Brad started the Jabot Men's Line and made it into a success. But after a while the job became too much for Brad to handle and so John hired Jack back.

In 1990 Jack convinced John to go public with Jabot, by selling shares of Jabot stock in the stock market. This backfired on Jack when his rival, Newman Enterprises, C. Newman Enterprises is a fictional business on the CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless. E. O. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), bought enough shares to takeover control of Jabot. Victor Newman (born Christian Miller) is a Fictional character on the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless, played Eric Braeden (born Hans Jörg Gudegast on April 3, 1941) is an Emmy Award -winning German Film and television actor best Losing Jabot caused John to have a heart attack and caused Victor to fire Jack and replace him with Brad. To get back at Victor, Jack married Victor's ex-wife Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), before Victor could propose re-marriage to Nikki. Nicole Ann "Nikki" Newman (nee' Reed previously Foster, Bancroft, DiSalvo, Abbott Melody Thomas Scott (born April 18, 1956 in Los Angeles California) is an Emmy Award -nominated American actress best known for playing Victor offered to give control of Jabot back to the Abbott family, if Jack divorced Nikki. Even though Jack had fallen in love with Nikki, he accepted Victor's offer out of guilt and loyalty to John. But Victor used a loophole in the contract and voided the deal. Jack did however return to work at Jabot. After Nikki found out Jack chose Jabot over her she started divorce proceedings. But after Jack saved her daughter Victoria's life and then finding out she was pregnant with Jack's child, Nikki decided to stay with Jack. Victor later married Jack's sister and Jabot's chemist Ashley Abbott (then Brenda Epperson, now Eileen Davidson). Ashley Suzanne Abbott (previously Lassiter, Newman, Bladeson, Howard, and Carlton) is a Fictional character originally Brenda Epperson Doumani (born 1965 is a devout Christian American actress and singer who was born in Hollywood California Eileen Davidson (born June 15, 1959) is an American film and Soap opera Actress.

A couple of years later Jack with Brad planned a hostile takeover of Newman Enterprises. But Victor found out about it and during a heated exchange Victor fired Jack and then collapsed. Jack walked over Victor and towards the door leaving him to die. But Jack used his better judgement and called 911, saving Victor's life. 911 (usually pronounced "nine-one-one" is the Emergency telephone number for the North American Numbering Plan (NANP

After having confrontations with Ashley, Nikki, and his daughter Victoria, Victor went on a trip to the country to get away from his problems. Victor was robbed and carjacked and the man who did it ended up dying in a car accident in Victor's car. Everyone back in Genoa City thought Victor was dead and so Jack used "Victor's death" to his advantage and took over control of Newman Enterprises. This also meant he controlled Jabot as well. Jack appointed Brad head of Newman Enterprises. Months later Victor returned to Genoa City alive and well. Victor once again fired Jack for taking over control of Newman Enterprises and as a result John and Ashley resigned from Jabot. The Abbotts decided to create a new cosmetics company to rival Jabot. But because of Victor their loan application was denied and so their plans were halted. Jack then promised to stay away from Jabot if Victor hired John and Ashley back. Eventually Jack returned to Jabot as well.

Many years later Victor was missing and once again thought to be dead after his airplane crashed in New Mexico. New Mexico ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States of America. Jack and Brad once again took over control of Newman Enterprises by changing spreadsheet numbers and packing the Newman Board of Directors with Jack's old flame and Victor's newest ex-wife Diane Jenkins (Alex Donnelley) and with her lawyer Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc). Diane Jenkins (previously Richards and Newman) is a Fictional character on the American television Soap opera The Young Alex Donnelley (born August 13, 1959 is an American actress best known for originating the role of Diane Jenkins on the popular daytime soap opera Michael Baldwin is a Fictional character on the CBS Television Soap opera The Young and the Restless, portrayed by Christian Jules LeBlanc (born August 25, 1958 in Fort Bragg North Carolina) is a two-time Emmy Award -winning American Actor When Victor returned it was tougher for him to rest control of his company away from Jack and Brad.

The Abbotts gathered enough money but they fell short during Victor's deadline. Victor bought up all the Abbott's bank loans and as Victor was about take back control of Jabot, Ashley convinced him to extend the deadline. To keep them afloat and get them through a required payment owed to Newman Enterprises, Brad Carlton and Nikki Newman were approached. They they were asked for $35,000,000 each in exchange for shares of the company, as well as a seat for each of them on the board of directors.

Glow By Jabot

In 1999, with the return of young Billy Abbott to the household, Jabot's management was inspired to use him and his friends as a way to access a younger demographic. They chose to use the internet and create a closed circuit 24hr website where people could log on and see what the kids were doing. It took place exclusively at the Abbott pool house. Phyllis Newman (Summers at the time) was hired to be the web designer. It lead to such success that a joint partnership was formed between Jabot Cosmetics and Fenmore Department Stores to run a small Boutique which still runs to this day. It went on for two years before fading out.

Tuvia

When Jabot was about to buyout another cosmetics company which focused more on African-American women by the name of Satine Cosmetics. African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa But Newman Enterprises outbid Jabot and bought Satine Cosmetics out from under Jabot. Jabot decided to resurrect a similar idea of Ashley's called Tuvia to compete with Satine Cosmetics (which Newman later renamed Safra). Drucilla Winters (Victoria Rowell) who was a longtime Abbott family friend and Jabot spokeswoman stole a business card that belonged to former Satine Cosmetics chemist Damon Porter (Keith Hamilton Cobb) from her husband's Neil's desk. Drucilla "Dru" Winters (née Barber) is a Fictional character that appeared on the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Vicki "Victoria" Lynn Rowell (born May 10, 1959 Rowell knew very little about her father Damon Porter was a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless. Keith Hamilton Cobb (born 28 January 1962) is an American actor best known for his roles as the ruthless Nietzschean mercenary Tyr Anasazi She convinced Damon to work for Jabot (Tuvia) instead of Newman (Safra). Jabot which was still having financial problems saw the Tuvia line as a way to save Jabot for the long term. Jabot had a long and respected reputation of great products, an experienced chemist in the field in Damon Porter, and long standing ties with popular department stores around the country. A department store is a Retail establishment which specializes in selling a wide range of products without a single predominant merchandise line. The company finally got Victor Newman to let go of the outstanding loans when it was found that he had bribed retailers and sabotaged their very important Tuvia launch. Unfortunately they were not able to financially recover from the losses and they lost Jack Abbott as the CEO due to a deal made with Victor Newman. Jack Henry Abbott ( January 21, 1944 &ndash February 10, 2002) was an American criminal and Author. The company lost its men's line and was forced to shut down its Tuvia brand and lose its Glow By Jabot website. At this time, Ashley Abbott was made CEO.

Bribery Scandal

Victor Newman a man who wanted to destroy Jack and therefore Jabot hired Michael Baldwin to bribe the retailers into giving Newman's Safra the front shelf space that normally showcased Jabot's products. The day before both Tuvia and Safra were to debut Victor went to see Ashley who was staying in a remote cabin and was late into her pregnancy to tell her not worry about what is about to happen. Of course the next day Safra came in first and Tuvia came in second which shocked the Abbotts. The lower then expected sales worried the Abbotts. So Ashley decided to return to Genoa City knowing Victor was behind Tuvia's bad sales. Ashley got into a nasty car crash and was rushed to the hospital. Brad and Ashley's baby (Robert) died as a result. Because of Tuvia's lack luster sales Jack accepted Diane's offer to invest her money into Jabot to bail them out. This was not enough and the company continued to struggle and collapse.

After hiring Victor Newman as a consultant and coming within minutes of filing for Chapter 11 protection a last minute decision was made to sell 51% of the company to Chancellor Industries. This allowed them to pay off all corporate debts, regain Jack Abbott as the CEO and fire Victor Newman. They also ended up losing one of their chemists, Damon Porter as well as Brad Carlton, Phyllis Newman and Nikki Newman.

Corporate Sabotage, the Death of Emma Gibson and the Fallout

Due to a lawsuit resulting from corporate sabotage by former founder John Abbott's wife Gloria Bardwell the company went into a serious tailspin. Gloria Bardwell (née Simmons, formerly Baldwin, Fisher and Abbott) is a Fictional character, a resident of Genoa City To get rid of the lawsuit, Chancellor, Jabot's owner at the time struck a deal to Fire their CEO Jack Abbott and pay off Emma Gibson's family (the victim). They also brought in PR consultant Carmen Mesta who later moved on to Newman Enterprises before she was brutally killed. Carmen Mesta is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless.

After this Jack Abbott schemed with Korean businessman Ji Min Kim to illegally buy the company out for $250,000,000. Jack Henry Abbott ( January 21, 1944 &ndash February 10, 2002) was an American criminal and Author. Ji Min Kim is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless, portrayed from October 4, This money was acquired deceptively from Victor Newman. During the House of Kim era, Billy Abbott as well as Ashley Abbott moved to Hong Kong to work at House of Kim's local offices. Ashley Abbott would later resign altogether and move on to Forrester Creations. Forrester Creations is a fictional fashion house business in Los Angeles California, USA on the CBS daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful Eventually their plan was found out and Jack sold the company back to Chancellor Industries for a fraction of what he paid. Katherine fired Ji Min Kim, and Jill Abbott left the company to follow him.
