Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the actress was asked if any of her family members will be attending the awards ceremony with her this year. She told the publication, “I get very, very stressed out if I have to bring somebody and how they’re doing. I always just do. It’s an industry. I mean, if I was married, I would, of course, bring my husband, or maybe not, maybe he wouldn’t want to go. It’s more about me and the people I work with. So I would really just love to go alone this year.”

But Michelle went on to say that last year she did bring her daughter and that it was a wonderful experience for her. The actress recalled, “She really loved it and she was so cute. She was so wonderful. But she was sitting there at the table with Mary Ellen, who’s just the most Peter’s [Bergman, who portrays Jack on Y&R] wife, who’s the most amazing person on the planet. And the two of ’em were just talking for an hour. And I’m sure it was uncomfortable for both of them. They don’t really know each other. Mary Ellen’s used to it, of course. But my daughter wanted to go. I kind of wanted to stay at the party longer, but my daughter, her feet were hurting and she was cold. And I was like, okay, I guess I got to go and I want to not be a mom that night. I want to be a coworker that celebrates my coworkers and celebrates my show. And so long-winded answer to your question, but I think I may just go alone.”
