New evidence against Nickelodeon’s producer Dan Schneider is shedding light on years of rumors of inappropriate behavior on the sets of his shows, including iCarly, Victorious and Zoey 101. Not long after iCarly star Jennette McCurdy published a memoir which included references to “the creator,” sparking renewed conversation about Schneider’s Nickelodeon tenure, Insider launched an investigation; and the results are, predictably, pretty bleak.
While few stars from Schneider’s shows stepped up to speak, one actress, Daniella Monet, shared her own uncomfortable experience working with him on Victorious.
Monet, who starred on the series as Trina Vega, said “Some of the show’s costumes were not age appropriate for teen stars. I wouldn’t even wear some of that today as an adult.”
“It wasn’t just the outfits that were questionable,” Monet said as she continued to talk about her experience.
In one instance, she filmed a Victorious scene in which she applied lip gloss while eating a pickle; while she shared her concerns about the sexual implications of the bit with Nickelodeon, the network still included it in an episode.
“Do I wish certain things, like, didn’t have to be so sexualized?” Monet said. “Yeah. A hundred percent.”
Zoey 101‘s Alexa Nikolas, who recalled a scene in which her costar, Jamie Lynn Spears, had green goop squirted onto her face. Spears was 13 years old at the time, and Nikolas claims a male costar describing the moment as “like a cum shot.”
Schneider made a reputation for thumbing his nose at network standards and would approve all outfits, while often campaigning for the skimpier options.
Russell Hicks, a former Nickelodeon exec, told Insider that Schneider’s content was carefully reviewed, insisting the scripts for his shows were approved by standards and practices and that parents and guardians were on every set.
“Every single thing that Dan ever did on any of his shows was carefully scrutinized and approved,” he said in an email.
Along with the claims of inappropriate content on his shows, the environment in the writers rooms was also questionable.
A source who worked as a writer on one of Schneider’s shows, claimed that the producer openly stated he didn’t like having female writers in the writers room, and accused him of forming a maddening, disgusting, controlling little bubble.
Schneider also supposedly requested massages from two female Amanda Show writers.
Given the decades of rumors and allegations against Schneider which included a 2018 investigation by what was then called ViacomCBS, it’s possible these accusations are just scratching the surface of Schneider’s crimes.
This fat pervert voted and contributed to the DNC, just like Epstein, these progressives are all perverts and commies, I hope this scum bag goes to prison for a long time. Problem is he’s a well heeled Democrat, so there’s no justice here. This is the country that the Democrats want us to live in, they’ll sexually abuse childeren and get away with it. Just like the Pervert Senator from New Jersey, he was vetted by the FBI and cleared, althouth there was a mountain of evidence against him.
Sadly, as long as democrats maintain dominance in our government, America will continue to decline in a downward spiral of decadence and weakness.
It doesn’t matter who is in power. There is no such thing as Republican or Democrat. There never was. It’s just an illusion to make people think that they have a choice. Why do you think our “elected officials” are “pre-selected” for us? It’s because they are already selected by the same group of people who have been controlling the world for hundreds of years. I don’t care what you call them… the “elite”, the “illuminati”… they control both the Republican and Democratic parties which are controlled by such organizations as “The Council of Foreign Relations [CFR]”, “The Trilateral Commission”, The Bilderberg Group”. Why do you think that every US president is of the same exact Royal bloodline? These are not fictional statements, they are actual FACTS. Anyone can find this information if they do a little research.
He needs his medical history closed.
I’d like to catch him in a dark Chicago Southside alley.
No witnesses.
Raven, you are right on, it’s just all smoke and mirrors, the powers in our country need everyone to keep hating, that’s how they keep control. They’re doing a a great job, they have me hating. It’s almost like a drug.
