Embattled kids TV producer Dan Schneider has denied toxic workplace claims, which include sexualizing child actors, on Nickelodeon series he created and ran. A spokesperson for Schneider stated that all content on the shows he oversaw was carefully reviewed and approved by a team of adults and network executives. Scripts were vetted in both New York City and Los Angeles, with input from standards and practices groups and programming executives.
The denial comes in response to allegations raised in the docuseries 'Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,' which premiered on Investigation Discovery. Former child actors, including Drake Bell, have come forward with claims of abuse, sexism, and inappropriate behavior on Schneider's sets. Bell shared his alleged experience of abuse by a former dialogue coach.
