I know this isn't on your list but the story that shocked me was drake bell by Owen Kyle
Ariana grande
Why aren't you guys not putting the numbers beside the names anymore
@@kellydiogo8356 I think they do it because they’re in no particular order
Honestly I was shocked about that pickle boy guy being pen pals with John Wayne Gacy! I mean wtf?!?
I have so much respect for alexa nikolas and jennette mccurdy found the courage to speak up about how they were treated
I don’t know why I had an unsettling feeling growing up and watching Nickelodeon shows they always had this vibe that there was amiss and off but couldn’t put a finger onto it. Does anyone recall the show “ the naked brothers band” the title of this short lived series says it all and not to mention that one of their producers was caught in the reality show to catch a predator.
Did you see on X I believe the news from this one actress on Naked Brothers Band that she felt forced into a kiss with a co-star that was in his 30s at the time? If you wanted to find it check out I think Pop Base
QUINN is friends with colleen ballinger too LOL
Me too. And I'm proud of all of them who aren't staying quiet. Snider is a narcissist and a groomer. He deserve this comeuppance, but I do feel bad for his children. Maybe Ariana took the hushmoney??🤔
And Drake Bell. He really put himself out there in the “Quiet On Set” documentary. though he talked about Brian Peck more than Dan Schneider.
It's disgusting that Dan Schneider was able to get away with his creepy behaviour towards many of the Teen stars of his sitcoms. There's a video of him hugging Miranda Cosgrove from behind on the set of iCarly, during her 18th birthday celebrations, while she looks visibly uncomfortable, in plain view of the rest of the cast and crew.
Wow I didn't know this 😳. Dan Schneider does look like a skeevy perv tho 🤬.
He’s disgusting! Yet I didn’t realize this was going on in the late to early 90s
If I ever met Dan Schneider in person, I'd give him a death stare.
@@joeshadd3278 Why would he do that?
@@joeshadd3278 Why would he do that?
Alexa Nikolas has been trying to tell us for years but people called her names and said she was desperate for attention, etc. and now people are changing their tune now that there's a documentary. We need to start listening to people's stories instead of being dismissive.
yep. People have no empathy. They just want to continue in their bubble and silence everyone who suffered and try to prevent more problems.
BELIEVE VICTIMS. The overwhelming majority of victims are telling the truth. And I'm not saying that based on pure conjecture, I'm a survivor of multiple assaults myself and I'm also in forensic psychology.
Only thing I really don't like about her is. She puts up 2 hour videos with no chapters like ugh.
I had no idea
Amanda bynes did warn us but everyone thought she was insane. We owe these actors apologies.
How the hell Dan Schneider is not on prison yet? What he did can be consider as child abuse, pedophilia and child endargement.
Because Hollyweird and many of the people who run it value money and not people. The people in charge[and some of those in front of the camera and on stage], groom children and parents to also love fame and fortune to the point that it blinds them to the harm being done.
Same reason Zaslav isn’t arrested for animation cancellation, tax fraud and tax evasion.
$$$$$$ is why
Mr. Horton (played by Gordon Jump) from that episode of “Diff’rent Strokes molested those kids in his bicycle shop brought me to this story right here.
because he never did anything to warrant a crime. He was a toxic boss and a misogynist, thats just not ok but not against the law.
Wishing healing towards Drake Bell, Jennette McCurdy, Alexa Nikolas and countless other child stars who had their childhoods corrupted by both Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon. It's shocking to realise that so much toxicity went on behind the scenes of our favourite kid sitcoms.
Drake was the one that shocked me the most. His story reminded me of Todd Bridges from Diff’rent Strokes.
@@kamsismith Ditto, nobody was expecting Drake to be the celebrity who was abused and taken advantage of by Brian Peck. It's sad that there weren't more precautions taken against him during that era.
A KZheadr I used to watch named Sloan exposed that Drake was Brian’s victim before the series was made. Here’s the problem though: Drake’s identity was left anonymous due to his age and it's illegal to do that, which made me lose respect for him more. I already lost respect for him when he claimed that Jim Carrey was responsible for his ex-girlfriend’s suicide.
My heart goes out to Bell, McCurdy and Nikolas
as well as many others
Mr. Krabs: “The children? I don't care about the children. I just care about their parents money.” 🤑 Mr. Krabs tried to warn us from the very beginning.
Remember dirty Dan
That quote from SpongeBob might be a reference for how Dan Schneider treated kids and most likely just wanted more money and power to do what he wanted
It’s crazy to think that episode warned us before “Quiet on set” and “The Willy Wonka experience”.
I dunno if Nickelodeon has animation and live action in separate studios or not. But, it would've been super wild if Stephen Hillenberg caught wind of what was going on, and put that in, in hopes of it being a warning without being too loud for executives to be suspicious. Apparently there are rumors, that Stephen and Dan had some issues between them. But, unfortunately we may never know, and can only be a stretch at this point. Unless maybe Tom Kenny or someone close to Stephen, knows if Stephen has mentioned Dan's name or complained about him or what. But, I doubt, anything would be said if so.
@@LionManatic wow it makes you wonder I wish we'd get some answers but highly doubt it
One glaring mistake Dan (get in my van) Schneider made was forgetting that these kids would grow up one day and call him out.
That's actually pretty good Dan get my van Schneider
Thankfully criminals aren’t the brightest. They always think they’ll get away with it.
Not even the attempted hush money would keep them quiet
Not necessarily. Predators are about power and manipulating children and psychologically silencing them is the ultimate display of power.
Alvin and the Chipmunks actually gave us a correct portrayal of Hollywood. Ian Hawke manipulated the Chipmunks the same way Brian manipulated Drake.
This is not Hollywood it is our society. In any corporation you will see this crap happening because $$$$ > than all. Look at say for example Fox News for 40 years the CEO Roger Ailes has stalked and SA females in network, it took a major shift in public outrage to force Murdoch to finally ask him to step down. And he even got 65 million on way out. Also some other On air talent cost company millions in lawsuits for SA on young females.
Not exactly Ian, never SA Alvin, thank God
Ik what you meant, but let's not comparing a 16 y/o being molested to a singing cartoon chipmunk being overworked.
@@mayflower7811 yeah but he did overwork them and caged them
Alvin and the chipmunks live action movies are something nostalgic for me
DAN SCHNEIDER: You calling me a liar? LAWYER: Well, I ain’t calling you a truther!
Weird lawyer probably fake. Truther? Doesn't even sound like a real word
@@robroycahala-barrow3485 clearly that joke has gone over your head lol. Sad.
Dan: I think there's a problem Lawyer: oh DO YA!?
@@robroycahala-barrow3485It is, but it has more to do with conspiracy theorists. You may have head the term 9/11 truther
@@robroycahala-barrow3485 It's an informal US word for a person who doubts the generally accepted account of an event, believing that an official conspiracy exists to conceal the true explanation; a conspiracy theorist.
I can't believe Dan Schneider was able to get away with this for so long. Child stars have it bad enough without this creep. I have infinite respect for Jeanette McCurdy seizing her chance to speak out and inspiring so many others from Nick to do the same.
Agreed. I hope he pays for it soon.
Thank you for continuing to support our channel!
A narcissist and a groomer.
@@watershipup7101 Agreed.
Glad Jerry Trainor actually cares for the kids on set and stops him from touching them
Let’s not forget when Amanda Bynes had a twitter account under the alias of Ashley Banks even tweeting about how controlling her parents were and what Dan Schneider did to her at 13 it’s beyond crazy and absolutely sad what happened 😢🙏🏽
In retrospect, especially with emancipation, it sounded like her parents were trying to protect her. Remember how Peck drove a wedge between Drake and his father who expressed concern about Brian’s creepy behavior? That’s probably what Dan was trying to do with Amanda but her parents said no. Granted they should have brought the hammer down before that moment. But I think it would have been worse if she was able to be emancipated….. I feel so sorry for her. I pray she’s able to have a decent life ya know? And hopefully realize her family is trying to help her. (Look up anosognosia which can be common in bipolar disorder.)
apparently that Twitter account was debunked. He's still mad creepy though
Unfortunately that Twitter account was proven to be a troll that had also been using another Twitter account to pretend to be her and try to start fights with celebrities. Dan is still a terrible boss but we should stop using this as an example as it discredits the true stories.
@@samuraijack3187 Yeah. The person behind that account’s a scammer.
Honestly, Schneider needs to be in jail and Nickelodeon needs to compensate all of these former actors
Same with Brian Peck, Bryan Singer and more who are still free… they should be in prison for life or until they’re 6 feet under!
So many things from my childhood are completely tainted now.
Straight facts 😢
I would say all we don’t know yet 😢
I know that Jeanette McCurdy doesn’t like being reminded of iCarly, but sometimes I wonder if the things that her character Sam Puckett said about her mom was actually Jeanette talking about her own psychotic mother. I may have never met Debra McCurdy, but how crazy Sam’s mom sounded throughout the series and when me met her really does make me believe that’s what she was like
That's actually what I was thinking after reading Jeanette's book and remembering how sam talked about her mom on iCarly
yes, Dan would mock her about things she was going through her personal life.
She didn't have a say in the scripts but I'd be surprised if she didn't channel her own experience into those moments. Most actors do. Many actors find acting cathartic. I hope she found some catharsis through that even though she didn't want to be there. I'm heartbroken about what she went through, but I'm so happy for her that she's healing and living life on her own terms now.
She didn’t write her lines but that was the irony and a parallel. Heck maybe Dan purposely did it to reinforce her trauma. He knew her mom was evil
@@AngelicaPerez-wh3lgwow he’s sick. Not only he kicked her but made a fortune off her pain and love story and thought let’s put it in a kids show
I just want to appreciate the fact that when it comes to the most recent videos they’ve made about Nickelodeon and Quiet On Set, WatchMojo never made it a top 10 list. They just showed the names or topics, described it and moved on because they’re all equally serious to one another and shouldn’t be ranked.
I doubt Jeanette McCurdy would ever read my comment, but I want her to know that I’m so proud of her and that I really did enjoy her book, but it really made me sad. It really breaks my heart that she had nowhere safe to be. Working on was a nightmare with how she described it, and being home was even worse especially with that psycho mama. I’ll still never get over the fact that Jeanette had to turn down film offers because they wouldn’t let her do that because of Sam and Cat, but Ariana Grande was always given the “Okay, go have fun”.
I got to meet her in New York, so I know what it’s like to under the thumb of an overprotective mother…
I’m sure she knows her fans are proud of her
Hopefully, all of these testimonies will FINALLY put an end to all this miserable behind the scenes antics and make the network workplace truly safe.
let's hope your right
You can only hope.
narrator: "it won't"
Jeanette McCurdy and Alexa Nickolas as they have been open about their experiences working at Nickelodeon. Hopefully, we get a Quiet on Set spinoff with Disney.
Not everyone had a bad experience with Disney
At least Disney doesn’t ignore allegations, and takes action immediately.
Brian Peck and that one actor who plays Andi’s grandfather on Andi Mack are pedophilies that worked at Disney. I wonder if any more of their employees are pedophiles.
Agreed, I'm starting to think that kids' show networks don't run any background checks while hiring actors. They also hired Tim Allen and Phil Lewis, both of whom have criminal records.
I’m surprised that Phil Lewis worked for Disney despite him being charged with a DUI that killed somebody. Tim Allen’s story is different as he was arrested for cocaine possession. It's not as bad as harming someone, but you're right, there needs to be more background checks.
Don’t let your children anywhere near Hollywood.
Ever since I was 13 years old, I felt envious when I saw young teens on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and other movies. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I use a posture control Kaye walker and a Rovi x3 power wheelchair for mobility. I figured having a small career on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel could help improve my social practice and inclusion.
pedowood
Parents, and their children, are still lined up blocks deep for the Fame and Fortune. There is being creepy behind the scenes and angry at the actors and then the actual peddling of SA that happened to the two Coreys. There's being invited to parties or encouraged to drink and then the being forced into an upper and downer drug habit like Judy Garland, and being groped by the little people.
First thing my mom did when I got those letter in the mail after I was put on a billion board at 4 years old, she asked me if I wanted to not have a childhood. I told her I wanted my childhood and she tossed them all in the trash.
No matter how big of a check they write you
Well I feel bad for everyone here, it’s Jennette McCurdy is the one I feel the worst for. Unlike others who had loving parents and other friends that they could talk to and were there for them, Jeanette had no safe place. After reading her book I wish I could give her a hug because I can’t believe what she endured, if she doesn’t wanna return the acting that’s fine by me, with everything she was put through I can only wish the best for her and hope things get better.
Am I the only one who noticed that "Invader Zim" the show the higher ups at Nickelodeon thought was "too dark" and "not good for kids" is one of the few shows that "didn't" seem to be run by creeps and their enablers?
It was in a time where having 2 dads or 2 moms in a kid's show was completely forbidden.
Yeah, the only creepiness from Jhonen was how dark he made his work. Nothing sexual.
SpongeBob was the other. In fact they actively tried calling out Schneider a few times, and deeply resented Nickelodeon forcing every other animated show to copy them.
Yay! & he refused to change it, ended up a cult classic of sorts & is still loved. I have a Gir backpack 💚
11:13 "It sounds like hush money to me. Not doing it. I'm not taking it." 👏👏👏
Quiet on Set is definitely going to become a series. There's too many stories not to tell and I'm sure after seeing the first four episodes some people who originally declined or were too scared to speak will be willing to come on and I'm sure they'll look into other kids networks like Disney Channel.
I think it's really nasty that Dan Schneider got away with all these crimes he committed against these teen stars.
I know, he should've been put in Jail by now.
@@kpsonicdude Sadly, money and power can keep creeps like him on the streets, not behind bars where they belong.
Did Dan not get it through his thick skull that girls can be funny without being dumb? Seriously Swindle (movie) treated Ariana’s character smarter and better than he did.
True
I think Dan made Cat's character into his personal favorite target Quiet, naive, innocent, and easily tricked into believing in the most ridiculous stuff... A Predator's Wet Dream
@@zenos02 exactly it’s sickening right
I am sure he was getting paid to get them to do certain things
@@katiemeinke9325 I bet
Dan Schneider is literally DISGUSTING. I can never look at my childhood shows the same way again. I hope these actors are doing way better and will continue to speak out 🙏🏼 Dan…you’re done.
How could the kids have been expected to stand up for themselves when they saw the adults folding? They were so vulnerable. I feel so badly.
This breaks my heart absolutely and completely. It makes me view Nickelodeon very differently.
My heart goes out to Bell, Grande, McCurdy, Nikolas, and many others If y'all don't wanna end up like Dan Schneider, respect boundaries, and give space to people. Don't end up a predaphile.
Is that a portmanteau of predator and pedophile?
These dark secrets are the reason why I recommend people should talk to a career resource specialist to help them sign with the right talent agency.
I’m glad they’ve spoken out about this
My prayers go out to Drake Bell. Hearing him talking about these horrible things was never going to be easy. However, I hope what Drake did with his bravery can help other actors speak up about any personal misconduct. Drake Bell really did prove to me that when it comes to being a TV star, there is a sense of darkness, that even the bright lights of Hollywood can never hide.
As an Invader Zim fan, I can’t believe that even Zim was trying to warned us that Nickelodeon is not a safe place to work with in that hilarious episode (it’s no wonder why Zim was experimenting that annoying kid for).
They BUILT my whole childhood, from pretending I was in the shows to waking up on a Saturday morning to see if a specific show was on. Now knowing what they all went through I will never be able to watch them the same. Especially “Drake and Josh”
Even as a kid watching the feet sketches something seemed off. Now it’s something else entirely
Even before people started associating it with sexual connotations, I thought it was just weird It's almost like, as kids, we're not gonna pick up on the innuendos, but a part of us knows it's wrong
It was the sexualization for me. Drake & Josh was the worst offender - it was gross. I didn't pick up on WHY it was gross that a show would be doing this, but it did feel...wrong to see teens not much older than myself constantly portrayed as either dumb & slutty or overweight punching bags.
What angers me more is the adults/parents that didn't stand up and say this is wrong. Especially the parents that's your child and it's your duty to protect them.
Now do one for DISNEY
For real.
Unlike Nickelodeon, Disney’s only crime is cancelling animated projects. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kathleen Kennedy or Bob Chapek or even Bob Iger are worst than Dan Schneider and that’s saying something. And if they do Warner Bros, oh God. Zaslav has a lot of crimes that would put Joker to shame.
Demi Lovato is likely to be number one, she's had a far worse experience than everybody else at Disney
Oh stop it Nothing near as bad as what happened at nick
@@multiverse_media2023Kathleen Kennedy is a producer, they don’t work directly with talent or on projects, they just secure funding for projects, she has been an executive producer on pretty much every film Lucas or Spielberg made in the 1980’s and 90’s but like I said wasn’t creatively involved in the projects.
The most recent example of Nickelodeon was when they had the first episode of season one of Victorious with their own characters and it wasn’t until that point the series started to feel like 👍 it’s been so good.
Ariana grande doesn’t need or have to speak out. We have to understand these traumatic experiences have an effect on different people in different ways.
Agreed people heal in their own way...and she's still in mainstream show business so that could be it too. Unfortunately with Hollywood as they say you have to be able to "play ball".
Exactly. I don't know why everyone is trying to bully her into speaking out.
Honey, she signed that NDA and took the money deal. This is public knowledge. I get that you're one of the millions of fans of hers, but get real
Honestly, I watched quiet on set recently. It was very disturbing how nickelodeon could hire 4 child predators around kids. Jason Michael Handy, Brian Peck, Dan Schneider, and another guy forgot his name. they screwed up children lives and Brian Peck were friends with John Wanye Gacy, who even gave him a painting of himself to Peck. Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider should be ashamed of themselves as well held accountable for their actions
I know right, I was like how did I think we were funny
@melissagrant4178 yeah especially when they made several adults themed jokes on kids show
I just wish I knew back then that some of these show aren't funny
Even crazy when you realize the higher ups who hired them or shove them most likely like children as well. Wouldn’t be shocked if they all went to Epstein island. Hollywood in general are sickos. I Carly, victorious , and naked brothers band had scenes with underage age girls had to kiss adults. Somehow this went through the cracks for decades and no one ever did anything about it.
@melissagrant4178 same, especially the green goo joke and joke I saw where it shows Brian Peck giving someone a pickle through a hole in the bathroom. I'm sure a lot of people know what that is referencing. It wouldn't surprise me if Dan also molested a few people, too. He is definitely racist and sexist. He focuses a lot on a few actresses, so manipulating and abusing them, and they are too scared to come forward just wouldn't surprise me at all.
Dave Seville: Ian, the chipmunks need a real life, not all of this. Dave tried to warn us as kids. We should have listen.
A lot of people are going to either cancel their Paramount+ subscriptions, remove Nickelodeon from their cable/satellite packages, or both after this. And I don't blame them.
I do not use Paramount+ but as far as watching Nickelodeon shows, never again. I can never watch classics from my childhood ever again knowing what I know.
I won't. I despise what these people did to all those actors? Yeah. But i won't reject all the wonders that channel gave us just because some of their people are rotten to the core.
In the past several months, the most Nickelodeon show that I rewatched was Big Time Rush simply because it had nothing to do with Dan Schneider and I Stan by that
Nick still has shows on Hulu and Netflix soo even if you do cancel paramount your still indirectly supporting them by continuing to have Hulu/netflix
@@juswavvy9634 Well I don't have either, so...
the adults at NICK had failed us too many times
Jerry Trainor should been in here somewhere too. He tried his best to stand between the icarly kids and dan and was even on set on days when he wasn’t shooting anything
I grew up watching and loving Nickelodeon and now this reality is just disturbing, especially the one about Dan Schneider, who’s best show directed was “Henry Danger” and after he left, “Danger Force” took its place. Now all the good old shows except SpongeBob are done. Nickelodeon has lost its charm in trying to make a successful series especially in live-action. Every time a new series comes out, it only last 2-3 Seasons and then just stops. It’s madness! Is Nick Jr. the only Nickelodeon related channel that doesn’t have this sort of stuff?
Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, Jim Parsons, and Todd Spiewak should be the new executive producers at Nickelodeon and Disney Channel based on the success of Young Sheldon.
What I do not like is how Nickelodeon is more focused on money and fame and protecting their reputation rather than doing the right thing which is what they were made for in the first place… to help and serve people… the audience and their workers. No child should go through something like this…
Nickelodeon is a business and businesses are all about their money and making the most they can. That's just the sad truth of it. Disney is no different. None of these places have any integrity.
Ever since I was 13 years old, I felt envious when I saw young teens on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and other movies. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I use a posture control Kaye walker and a Rovi x3 power wheelchair for mobility. I figured having a small career on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel could help improve my social practice and inclusion. My high school refused to make accommodations for me to take acting classes. My heart was so corrupted by my own greed and envy It never occurred to me that the people who made me laugh in my favorite TV shows were hiding their pain in their eyes, and the sadness behind their smiles. I want to recover from my trauma. My ex-girlfriend's mom blocked me from being in the same classes at school as her daughter for five years because dating rumors were getting out of control. Now I understand why my mom and the majority of my family was so hesitant about paying for my classes and my headshots. I'm 29 years old. I’m currently finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in Film at Bridgewater State University by this Christmas. If I was 13 again, I would sign with Disney Channel over Nickelodeon.
Disney channel has the same issues just ask any Disney actor and they will tell you. It's not pretty and it's not glamorous.
@@emmamassey001Disney isnt as bad as nick
@@thefriendlygamer2221 Disney is worse. Nickelodeon hired a pedophile but they didn't know he was a pedophile. Disney hired that same pedophile after he was released from jail and he was on the sex offender list
I felt the same way, there was a part of me that wanted to be on tv, I thought it was be cool
Live your dream Hector!
Nickelodeon will be feeling the ripple effects of "quiet on the set" for a long time.....Good!
Jennette Mccurdy is the one who shocked mee the most. Happy monday afternoon, Emily. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
I think the biggest warning that was ignored for years was when Disney hired Brian Peck even though he was a convicted child predator. The money talked and the crap continued to walk.
Wow that Alexa Nicholas comment about Dan wanting the polaroids is disgusting 🤢. Glad she can continue acting and go against Dan
And she was only 12-14 when she worked on that show.
Yeah I couldn't catch it at first I had to put on caption, oh man holy s*** that's disturbing AF 😮
I put the caption on, and it didn’t capture her words correctly. I had to search for interviews of her to figure it out. Wish they’d repair the caption. I knew it was creepy as hell, but “Polaroid” has to be clear so people understand exactly what he was asking for.
I believe the allegations that Jeannette McCurdy made against Dan Schneider is one of the reasons why Paramount+ cancelled the 4th season of iCarly (2021).
Nah, Schneider was let go way before the icarly 2 came out.
im not sure if that is dan schneider wasnt invovle and book wa sreleased before they did the 3rd season
The reboot wasn't even made by him though
Let’s hope they make a 2nd season of quit on set that exposes animators who worked there like Cris savino .
Let's not forget that Suzanne Collins, author of the most well know "child exploitation" book, Hunger Games, worked for Nickelodeon in the 90's. Was the series a warning of any sort?
Most likely, given how the people in charge at the network failed the ones on the set.
WTF? The Hunger Games is a dystopian story and the youngest participants in Catching Fire were Katniss and Peeta who were about 17. It's not about "child exploitation". It's about a totalitarian government that does horrendous stuff to people who tried to overthrow them.
I’m sorry that Jennette went through all that.
My heart goes out to all of these stars and their families who were courageous to come forward and speak of their experience. But what is most disturbing to me, is the fact that a Brian P got only 16 months!!!! And then went on to work for Disney, working closely again with more children. Absolutely disgusting and very disturbing!
"Our union at the time made a deal with..." Me: The devil. "The studios !" Me: same thing.
Let’s hope they make a 2nd season of “quit on set” that exposes terrible animators who worked at Nickelodeon like Cris savino and John kanskey and maybe even Butch Hartman.
I have to say as someone who grew up watching Nickelodeon and watching all these shows it breaks my heart to hear all these of what's going on behind the scenes and what these child actors went through and I'm so proud for all of them for not staying silent and telling their stories especially about Creepy Dan I support them all 💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯
Victoria Justice is a very talented artist who can make an amazing impression on a lot of people and is a good listener in season one of Victorious.
Definitely lost opportunities
I didn't know Alexa Nicholas was in Zoey 101 and The walking Dead😮 but it's absolutely disgusting how he got away with so much back then I feel so bad for those actors and actresses they deserve better they deserve to be in the happy safe environment especially like that they do not deserve to be in a vulnerable and intense positions it's absolutely disgusting how Dan Schneider was able to get away with everything back then he deserves to be in prison
Nickelodeon should be ashamed of themselves
Yeah they should
That would require them to have empathy.
Please they have SpongeBob , they don't give a rat's ass
Unlikely that they even have shame to begin with.
Amanda Bynes tried to tell people for years about the treatment at Nikelodeon and Dan Snieder but people wrote her off as crazy.
And that kind of gaslighting is why her life is ruined.
Anyone else feels like their childhood has been violated because of this?
Not as much as the actors.
Yes, but also agree with @MistyKatherine
Paying more attention to the successful shows compared to ones that aren't doing well isnt favoritism its what you do in business why would you keep investing in a show no one watched
Things like this why I preferred cartoon network
Same
Cartoon Network isn't as innocent as they make it some of the creators were mostly creeps
@@powerhouseentertainment6780Though the worst creeps in the cartoon industry also seemed to work for Nickelodeon (see Ren and Stimpy).
@@powerhouseentertainment6780so you are saying a Cartoon Network executive hit on one of the Powerpuff Girls?
I'm listening to Jenette McCurdy book on audible. The things her mother did were unbelievable. 😢
what is more unbelievable is that Jenette is out there making money out of it. Like, you hada horrible mother, I'm sorry for you truly, but you're not exactly the only one.
As someone who grew up with these shows with iCarly being my favorite of the bunch (and still is, though not without knowing what's happened) it really sucks how the biggest shows at the time had such gross undertones behind them. I can't really watch Zoey101 knowing how the entire cast (with the exception of Sean Flynn who played Chase) bullied her, yet Jamie's character Zoey was portrayed as the "saint" to the point of a Mary Sue. It also feels uncomfortable in that her character was portrayed as boy crazy given Dan's views on women. And while I DO find some of the humor on Victorious funny, I also find how sexualized and suggestive the show was with its adult humor, with it being entirely explicit. And while I hate saying this, I can't really look at Drake & Josh anymore given how Josh Peck turned out and knowing of Drake's abuse by the network. It really is disgusting knowing that the ONLY reason Nick fired Dan Schneider, wasn't because of his creepy and abusive behavior, but because his shows post Victorious weren't making THEM money or getting the views. Fuck this company!
At this point, Big Time Rush is the Nickelodeon show (I know there are lots but BTR is my favourite so i have a bias on that) that's safe to rewatch because it wasn't even Dan Schneider's creation. My god, the BTR boys literally dodged a bullet, no wonder the cast maintain a safe healthy friendship after the show ended
@@BryanCostner That's because they had the same producer as Ned's Declassified.
Nickelodeon failed those child actors and the rest of the crew. They failed to protect them from problematic people who ruined their lives.
In Europe in general, the Disney Channel stuff was way bigger, like Hannah Montana or High School Musical, so the Nickelodeon shows were pretty obscure in here. Out of curiosity, I went to check out some of the Zoey 101, iCarly and Victorious episodes and I found them weird af. I guess I understand why now….
I almost done watching Quiet on Set and I didn't realize how dark some of show was
People are shocked now but nobody remembers when "To Catch a Predator" back in the early-ish 2000's caught a guy who WORKED for nickelodeon. Justin Smith I think? Dude was caugh trying to get with a 13 year old. Theres more creeps in that company than just Dan the garbage man.
I vote Dan Schneider gets the butter sock
Unless its something he's into
Man we a series of documenatries like this!
I will never forget finding out about Alexa Nikolas’ time on Nickelodeon for the first time
Lets just hope Nickelodeon takes away his Lifetime Achievement Award.
the amount of respect i have for every person who speaks up is crazy
Amanda Bynes needs a whole behind the scenes series of herself.
Omg that would expose so much
I don't think she'd be ready to let that out, she's been through enough the first time around. Revealing what happened to the public eye would be just as painful.
All the stories were absolutely horrible to hear. It makes me look at those shows from my childhood completely different now knowing what those kids were going through. Not that it's a contest but if i had to pick which kid had the worst experience it hands down has to be Drake Bell. What he went through was absolutely unspeakable.
Butch Hartman should be on this list. I remember him talking about the production of Fairly Odd Parents and how the studio kept on adding stuff like Sparky & Chloe to the series resulting in the cancellation of the show.
That’s really true that Ned’s Declassified unfortunately didn’t get as much attention as other Nick shows even though I think it’d as good or maybe even better than any of Schneider’s Bakery shows
Did the adult actors notice anything. I mean, Jerry Trainor was born in 1977. He had to notice something?
I thinking about that too
Jerry was always on set, even when he didn't need to be there to support his cast mates, and there are a few clips out there showing him getting between Dan and his younger cast mate and I get the impression that he was trying to do his best to protect them as best as her could.
Funny Nickelodeon usually got overlooked while Disney was usually under the microscope for similar things.
I finally read Jeannette McCurdy's book yesterday and I'm glad she spoke up about how horrible and disgusting Dan Schneider is. Alexa Nichols even said that Dan should have been fired a long time ago
I was in Drake Bells band for 2~ years. I was on set at the Amanda show many many times. Amanda would always vanish immediately after doing the takes and I remember her always seeming upset. Once I was wandering around back stage and I saw her in a very dark room crying alone. I never forgot that. I felt like I didn't understand some thing dark about her life. This was right after filming where she looked happy etc on the set. Also another time I was a T Building with Drake and a few other kids and we were just chillen by ourselves and one of the kids cracked a joke about Amanda having an abortion. It wasn't a dig at her it was like a dark overtone sarcastic crack. I was like "Wait what does that mean?" and they all collectively kind of moved in rapidly to shut me out of that conv. I remember it because I felt like an outsider somehow but ya know Drake and I hung out every day. So I felt a little weird. Most of the stuff I saw was alright and everyone was chill on set and everything. But given how Amanda would act off set, I would 100% believe her if she said someone did something terrible to her there. You had to see it.
I can't imagine going what she went through. Have you read up on her blind item post or her burner twitter posts?
@@PolkaDotCupcake4no I haven't.
@@jordanturner7821did she really have an abortion!?
@@Emily-cw7tj I dont know honestly. I just know exactly what I said there.
@@jordanturner7821 that's alright it's still pretty sad and awkward for her though 😢
you mean top 10 celebs who were ignored until it was too late?
It's sad how Nickelodeon went so far to cover up the bad nehavior of people they employed. Going as far as to tell children to keep quiet and black balling rhem if they spoke up. Its so disturbing, and it's not just Nickelodeon. Hollywood has a serious problem.
Dan Schneider is a monster, he deserves no sympathy from anyone. He knew what he was doing was wrong but didn't care
This breaks my heart learning about everything recently. Like, I already knew Schneider as a creep with a foot obsession. But the Nickelodeon rabbit hole goes so much more deeper. I feel betrayed. My favorite show up until the time I was 12 or 13 was SpongeBob, then after that for a few months The Loud House before I phased out of both shows for good, and having a lot of Nick shows being a huge part of my life it feels like a huge betrayal. I prefer to separate the art from the artist because of situations like this, but I don't know if I can keep watching any of the 3 or 4 Nick shows I still find interest in (those being iCarly, Avatar, and kind of Jimmy Neutron. I also want to check Invader Zim since I never saw that one).
I first discovered Avan Jogia when he played Tutankhamun on the Spike mini series Tut. I wasn't aware until I watched this video that he'd been involved with Nickelodeon.
It feels so sad to hear what these celebrities has gon through. I was so obssessed with Nickelodeon shows as a kid (Drake and Josh, iCarly, Victorious, etc.) Wishing them to heal, love, and peace
With all the allegations against him, why isn’t there a trial? Why isn’t he in jail? It’s crazy that he is still walking around free. ~ My heart goes out to the people he hurt. They were kids and should have been protected. I hope they are living happy and healthy lives now.
We were gaslight into believing something was wrong about nickelodeon stars like Amanda Bynes vs the problem being the top execs. I remember growing up when these shows air since the 90s and seeing people talk crapped about the teen stars. It's truly awful. I mostly watch the game shows Nickelodeon aired and not all the sitcoms.
Throughout the docuseries, I thought to myself, "Amanda & Alexa tried warning you guys!" People were so gun-ho to ostracize them, thus resulting in Amanda's conservatorship And what's sad is, they're not the only ones. As soon as a child star turns 18, it becomes a vicious cycle where they walk out with lifelong psychological issues, and people are quick to demonize them. It's more of a cry for help because they were failed by the adults who were supposed to protect them
Same. Even from a non-Nick standpoint, everyone was watching PBS Kids because of Carmen Sandiego.
@@jmac356 I remember watching PBS including cyberchase. That show really helped me understand mathematics.
Video #3 of requesting top 10 more or top 20 criminal minds unsubs with the most tragic backstories❤
I ❤invader zim!! I have girr tattooed on me 😂
Frustrating because you felt stuck in a character that’s not like yourself ? Isn’t that what acting is?
I remember saying i was disturbed years ago, the looks in these kids eyes were obviously broken. The damage is not going to be easy to heal but if the monsters would be punished then the people could get better.
I don't have anything against Nickelodeon as a channel. I still like their shows (their good ones, of course), and some of their movies. And i don't intend to quit from Paramount+. However, that being said, what i despise about Nickelodeon are some of the people who run it. I feel sorry for all of the actors and actresses who had a bad time working there. And if i was Nickelodeon's CEO, i would make sure that Schneider would never again work in the industry. The same for that Brian Peck guy. They would be in jail. Both of them. I just hope this people will be not necessarily arrested but at least banned from working in Nickelodeon, and the channel will have better people on it, and better working conditions for the actors.
Don't. Don't give me hope. - Hawkeye. Seriously I don't think Nickelodeon will ever recover from this decade old scandal.
@@maxxgunner5573 like Justin Bieber said once, "never say never".
@@emiliomanueldepedro9650 Not a fan of Bieber, but thanks for the support. I grew up with Nickelodeon and some people in there like the child actors, Tom Kenny, and animators like Hillenburg, Vasquez, DNA Productions, Rob Rezetti (sorry if I misspelled), Klasky Csupo, Craig Barlett, the Avatar creators, Frederator, Chris Savino (he at least took accountability, had a new start and grew up with him), producers NOT involved with live-action shows, those guys are the TRUE Representatives of Nickelodeon.
