Jennette McCurdy releases memoir on her experiences on iCarly
- Thread starter crimsonECHIDNA
- Start date
My fiancee started watching iCarly randomly on Pluto TV and I remembered the story about Schnieder that popped up recently.
Been waiting for him to be exposed. When Nick dropped him he said he was working on a new project aimed at adults but that has never materialized. Feels like he was protected for decades but has the stench of being a creep so I doubt anyone wants to work with him now.
I can't watch anything he was involved in. It's all tainted.

Bingo. As I said in other thread multiple times....dude is horrible, and crazy awful shit went down on all those nick shows (sex, drugs, and pregnancies).
But he made head honchos an insane amount of money, and, so like many other creeps in Hollywood, he was protected.
And you are correct...I heard Schneider was not the only one involved in horrible stuff (heard about people higher than him impregnating young actresses).
I'll have to write myself a reminder to keep an eye out for that novel she mentions she is working on.
cannot wait to get the audio book of this, which i believe she reads herself. her podcast has been incredibly open about some of these topics, as well.
on top of her always being open about the shit conditions she had to deal with on these sets, i always remember being disgusted by how slut-shamed she was when someone else leaked those photos she sent to her then-boyfriend what feels like ages ago. the amount of shit she's had to take from such a young age is insane, and the fact that she's literally still here to tell the tale is so rad.

Just for this allegation alone Dan should see jail time but if this is the worse one to come out of the decades he's been working with child actors them I don't know if we'll ever see any justice. This might not be the Jimmy Saville situation people think it is.
There was a Whitney Cummings podcast with Olivia Munn, who has done a lot with sexual harassment in Hollywood
View: https://youtu.be/orh-MrSiq7Q?t=1321
In a nutshell, Munn would have women go to her asking for advice on how to handle their cases. Even in many cases where the woman was obviously being violated, Munn would advise them to stay silent because fighting back would just be a losing battle.
In order to win a harassment case you need:
- A case so solid it could cut through diamond. You practically need to have the incident on camera
- A legal war chest big enough to take a team of lawyers who drag things out long enough to bleed you dry
- Enough money left afterwards to live off for the rest of your life because studios are just going to look at your willingness to stand up for yourself as a liability not worth risking
I mean just look at how much less attention this is getting here then the last topic where there were even defenders.
“This Phony, Bizarre Sphere”: Jennette McCurdy’s Shocking Final Days at Nickelodeon
In an excerpt from her memoir, ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died,’ the former ‘iCarly’ and ‘Sam & Cat’ star alleges that she was offered hush money to stay silent about her experiences working with a man she refers to only as “The Creator.”
yeah, this seems like the natural follow up to it
im glad she's been able to move on so well and take her life into her own hands
The internet is full of photos and videos of Schneider with kids that make the Biden thing seem harmless, people knew and they didnt do shit about it
Goddamn the actual excerpts makes it even more clear she's talking about Dan Schneider lol.“This Phony, Bizarre Sphere”: Jennette McCurdy’s Shocking Final Days at Nickelodeon

This excerpt was hard to read. It was so creepy and of course it's Dan.

This aligns with what I've posted in other threads about the Victorious set. I've heard that set was out of control. High ranking people in the studio were convinced someone was gonna end up arrested, dead, or pregnant (or all three).

God this is chilling. I know for a fact he was lying to her about the Victorious cast to get her to do it too. What a monster.
we know that Avan Jogia was drunk or high most of the time on the victorious set, you can see it in most of his screentime as the show went on
No (not that I am aware of)...purely hearsay from a from a dozen or two people I know that work in the industry (I work in an industry adjacent with a lot of the people I work with also working in television and movies). Schneider is a bad bad person (but not the only one in that Nick regime).
That excerpt was so fucking rough to read. :(

There's a point in the Eric Andre show where's he gets super close to her and you can clearly see her seize up. Makes you wonder how much of that was acting or a genuine trauma response having read how Schneider just had his hands on her like that.
So Nickelodeon knew they had a creep working there and tried to pay victims to be silent about it?
Burn the motherfucking place down. Burn it all down.

Of course they did. It was literally, outside of Weinstein , one of the least kept secrets in Hollywood.
100% thought of that when I saw this thread and immediately felt bad about that episode
McCurdy did two separate interviews for ABC; in the Nightline clip below, she describes some seriously gross abuse at the hands of her mother, who allegedly
and who also was the source of her disordered eating behavior, among other awful things.

The best Nickelodeon can do is "no comment" on the hush money and Schneider allegations is telling. There is some dark shit they don't want to get out.
About 80 minutes to go on this audiobook, and it's mind-blowing in the worst way. I thought I had a loose understanding of the abuse celebs can go through, but I was wrong. Levels of fame don't equate to levels of cruelty. I naively thought if you hit the top level of global fame your life can become the worst thing imaginable. Turns out that can happen to anyone with any level of fame. I thought I understood what it meant when celebs talked about having no privacy, but there's a bit in there about when her mom dies that involves privacy being broken that sounds nearly impossible.
She definitely strikes me as the kind of person who would probably not care that a bunch of randos are singing her praises for her strength to survive, but it's hard not to after this book. I seriously don't understand how she survived.

I got link to it on Instagram by a couple friends.
This stuff's been brewing at Nickelodeon for a while definitely. Still can't watch Ren and Stimpy myself after everything came out there.

Damn this is wild. Good way to demonstrate how complex this web is just for one show and one child actor's experience now that she's an adult reflecting on the dynamics at play and the instances she was not only abused but not protected, or that others actively enabled abusive behavior. I'm sure it goes deeper given McCurdy's experiences on another show and people like Schneider at the center of it all for years.
I wonder how much of this stuff is still going on at Nickelodeon.
I saw this last week since AV Club picked the story up, but I don't think it's been picked up by most media sites.
Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas said she "did not feel safe" around creator Dan Schneider
Schneider's treatment of young actors has been in the news ever since iCarly's Jennette McCurdy published her new memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died

This feels major enough for either a new topic or added to this topic title. But looking at how few post this has on era is depressing considering how people here said he was getting picked on for his appearance.
