Quiet on Set, The Investigation Discovery Doc about Dan Schneider
I've been thinking maybe I should talk about this since I posted about Victorious six times at least and I might have another post about it later. Unsure if you know or not but the show was created by Dan Schneider who also created other shows like ICarly, Zoey 101, Drake and Josh among others. He was with Nickelodeon for about 25 years since he was the writer/producer of All That starting in 1993/1994. The relationship between Nick and Schneider actually started in 1988 in the second Kids' Choice Awards where he was one of the co-hosts along with his Head of the Class co-star Brian Robbins who would also produce Nick shows as well. Also, Schneider was Ricky in the movie Better Off Dead, did anyone else know that? Anyway, Schneider was fired in 2018 for being an abusive asshole and possibly also being #MeTooed as well. He's been accused of having a foot fetish and sexualizing actresses in his shows and keep in mind more than likely they were underage. There's a documentary on Investigation Discovery coming out on St. Patrick's Day that's more than likely talk about the Dark Side of Dan Schneider and possibly stuff we don't know about and people he hire or allow the work on the shows. Would he be the only one to look bad? More than likely not. I know Alexa Nikolas who was on the show Zoey 101 is on the Doc and she has let it known in several podcasts that she was bullied by the entire cast on that show during her two seasons and Dan Schneider didn't do jackshit about it. I think the cast of that show minus Austin Butler yes the Elvis star himself who was on season 4 of Zoey 101 (Alexa Nikolas left/forced out after season 2) should probably worry. Saying that, why didn't Dan Schneider do anything to stop that? He should have been the adult in the room. I know odd to say but if you create a hit show and members of your cast are fighting you would try to stop that wouldn't you? Not always I know, Castle was a big example. Dan Schneider didn't. I don't know what he didn't want to piss off Jamie Lynn Spears who he worked with on All That prior to Zoey 101 and a degree Britney Spears who was the biggest pop star of the time and there was an ugly incident where a pregnant Britney yelled at Alexa which led Alexa to quit the show. I have a younger sister and I probably would go off the deep end as well. However, Britney yelled at a teen. Are you kidding? She should have thought better of it. It's not a good look as a famous adult yelling at a teen. It's not just Britney, she had to have people who should have stopped her and/or offered to take care of the situation. At least Britney did apologize to Alexa privately and publicly. Jamie Lynn Spears hasn't and continued with her lies on her book. What else will come out? Who knows, it's four hours so there going to be alot that's going to come out. We'll know two weeks from now. Do I feel guilty still watching Victorious? Maybe a little, I stay enjoy the show. I didn't like how they made jokes about Mental Health. Daniella Monet aka Trina Vega also complaint about being sexualized and complained about a scene where had a pickle and lip gloss. Seeing that scene, I do agree that was messed up, and her character's wardbode and mostly short shorts. All I can said, be prepared people.
