A Brief Recap Of What Was Revealed In ‘Quiet On Set’ & How Dan Schneider Responded
As The Shade Room previously reported, the four-part docuseries ‘Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’ aired earlier this week. The series reportedly showed the “toxic and dangerous culture” of popular 90s and early 2000s kids TV shows.
During the series, former Nickelodeon actor Drake Bell revealed that he was sexually assaulted by the company’s dialogue coach, Brian Peck, at the age of 15.
Additionally, the documentary also explored allegations against Nickelodeon’s former producer, Dan Schneider. Schneider was accused of “sexualizing” children’s skits, creating an “uncomfortable” work environment, and even promoting racism.
Earlier this week, Schneider responded to the years-long allegations in a sitdown interview with another former Nick actor, Bobbie K. Bowman, per The Shade Room.
Ultimately, Schneider admitted to “[owing] some people a pretty strong apology” for his actions at Nick.
Schneider’s remarks apparently sat well with Angel Massey. However, Alexa Nikolas, who starred alongside Christopher Massey on ‘Zoey 101’ had a different reaction.
