Millennials and 90’s adults are struggling this week after Investigation Discovery’s much-anticipated docu series Quiet on Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV premiered last week.
The series features a host of former child actors, who are now speaking out about their alleged experiences behind the scenes on some of the most popular Nickelodeon shows of the 90’s and early 2000’s including All That, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, and iCarly.
In addition to Drake & Josh’s Drake Bell revealing allegations of being sexually abused as a child on set, one of the greatest shockers of the series is the horrific behavior of famed Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider. Several troubling scenes from the network’s most beloved shows have resurfaced, highlighting just some of the ways Schneider sexualized his young stars.

Many former Nickelodeon employees also came forward with allegations against Schneider including two women who were forced to share a salary. The same two women also revealed how Schneider would interrupt their work to make them give him neck massages, something Schneider later addressed in an interview with iCarly actor, BooG!e.
