10 Celebs Who Tried to Warn Us About Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon could have been there to be a buffer more than they were and I don't think the network was ever close to doing that welcome to Miz Mojo and today we're taking a look at former Nickelodeon stars who tried to warn us of the Network's Shady Behavior I don't know what's up with him but all I do know is that he put children in vulnerable positions that he like legit wrote himself Ashley Aroda Torres in the world of Nickelodeon sitcoms Aroda and her co-stars are typically left out of the conversation this is partially because the show she starred in True Jackson VP didn't run as long as the other shows what did you get here a while ago my bad I should have texted you since the show ended in 2011 Aroda has found a more successful career between recurring appearances on various Disney projects as well as making a number of music albums and singles knowing her past at Nickelodeon fans have asked her why she never sang on True Jackson VP to which she replied on Twitter quote the other network never gave me the opportunity meanwhile Nickelodeon records would get behind Drake Bell Emma Roberts Jam ly Spears The Naked Brothers Band BigTime rush and even Miranda Cosgrove with their potential in music we're going to explode all over you in just a minute but first I'd like to send out some shouts to some very special people I see here in the crowd Alistair Gillis Al what are you doing H oh hi Christine well I'm trying to figure out the secret ingredients to green slime Gillis was one of many actors to appear on you can't do that on television after Nickelodeon picked up the Canadian show to create a version for the US many sketches danced around absurdities and the occasional shock humor but Gillis recounts some instances that may have crossed the line I think this show was written by sicko actually most of us written by one of the older kids had him read guess we went for a real painful show especially as today shows about punishment in the book slimed an oral history of Nickelodeon's Golden Age Gillis told author Matthew clickstein quote there are some things I might question in retrospect fat jokes about Lisa probably not the healthiest thing for kids given the new information we know today regarding body weight many of these jokes come off as insensitive and mean-spirited his name is Joan vquez I'm now girl to test my evil plan on this child the animation side of Nickelodeon has also seen its own pressure from Nickelodeon's higher ups many animators began resenting SpongeBob SquarePants as the network kept pushing for shows to be like our favorite SE sponge one such case was with Jon and Vasquez the creator of the notoriously dark cartoon Invader M sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't but it's at least memorable and shows the tell tell signs of my Approach former staff of the show have claimed that Nickelodeon Executives would constantly pressure them to make Invader Zim a brighter more cheery show this is likely what spawned the episode Zim eats waffles which shows our little urkin attempting to try waffles with his human test subject Nick many believe that Vasquez and his team were taking a jab at their bosses here and how is the happiness probe in your brain doing today filthy human it's great I never want to leave this magical place I'm so happy Angelique Bates when I was a a child star um dealing with aspects of the child abuse it pretty much affected the workplace which later um affected my adulthood because I was blackb one of the most alarming facts about Bates is that she was the first cast member of all that to leave the show and one of the first of Nickelodean child actors to speak up about problems occurring at the network having only been around for two out of the 11 seasons one can't help but wonder what might have caused her departure when CPS came I was pressured by all the adults that were set to protect me to stay silent I did and I have but I can no longer stay silent and I won't in 2022 Bates came out along with several other actors against producer Dan Schneider recalling an incident where he yelled at her so intensely that she left the set in tears not only does this further submit the allegations of Schneider creating a harmful work environment it also adds to the allegations of discrimination other black child actors have made against him we got Impressions on what the climate was like immediately First Day filming Avan joia Dan was Nickelodeon's Golden Boy And even if he and the network were at odds he had the power to push back it was very hard to say anything to him and his show Victorious took this to a whole new level compared to the other nickol Ian sitcoms Victoria seems to have the most damning evidence of creepy and unsettling treatment taking place both on and off the set aan joia who played Beck on the show specifically revealed in a 2020 Tik Tok post some of the inappropriate behavior that took place despite having little to no memory shooting Victoria's episodes he does remember drinking and partying every night another former child actor also revealed that someone she refers to as the Creator would give alcohol to the Victorious cast but we will get to her in a bit I brought the butter sock it's not her fault we're both victims Daniela Monae the business is a weird world like I'll start there it is like it's such a bubble in a sense that like there are things that happen every day that you just are like accustomed to and don't would not fly in another work environment of the Victorious cast Monae was arguably the loudest of the bunch when Dan Schneider started to come under Fire in 2022 Monae went on record to say that she felt there were a few scenes where she felt the cast was being sexualized one example she recalled involved her putting on makeup while consuming a pickle pickles look this is the mind of Dan Schneider you got to ask him there was this referencing to like oh yeah Dan just has a weird sense of humor Monae reportedly brought up its potentially sexual nature to Nickelodeon but the network ignored her and aired the episode despite her concerns she would further point out that some of the clothing choices that cast members would wear were quote not age appropriate happy birth week Trina thank pleas so where's my present Devin work Heiser though it doesn't have anything to do with Schneider work heiser's problems with Nickelodeon do add to the Network's long list of allegations regarding favoritism oh I get it we're more mature now and you need time away from our extreme manliness the main lead of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide work Heiser has stated he felt like Nickelodeon didn't give the show as much attention compared to the Network's other massive hits along with former co-stars Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee he has scrutinized Nickelodeon for not paying him any residuals on the show despite the rejuvenated popularity thanks to streaming platforms this is a very old deal this was 20 years ago but our Union at the time made a deal with the studios to not pay their leads residuals and that has had lasting impact on our life Riser even went and protested in front of Paramount which shares its parent company with Nickelodeon leading up to the 2023 sag after after strike Drake Bell has also voiced similar problems regarding residual checks for Drake and Josh $800 a grim you this one oh right right $88,000 a grill a grill Ariana Grande Goa let's go no we have to go talk I don't want to talkop you the pop star has been noticeably quiet about speaking out against Nickelodeon which only stirs up more conspiracies however Grande has made one comment regarding her time at the network when she played Cat Valentine in both Victorious and salmon cat way back in 2014 during the start of her music career Grande spoke to People magazine describing her time at Nickelodeon as frustrating in her eyes cat was quote a character that was nothing like myself maybe your red hair dye seeps through your scalp and into your brain can that happen looking back on Victorious there were many many moments where cat seemed to be not too bright now after watching quiet on set it's disturbing to think about how Schneider and his writers might have seen her help I need a teacher please hello girls can you believe I scored tickets to harand oats Alexa Nicholas Dan Schneider never really seemed to care about how he was portraying children he definitely didn't care about the you know off camera roles either on how he treated like someone like myself and then in front of camera it seems very you know exploitative while Nicholas has seen continued success in acting having appeared on shows like The Walking Dead and madmen she's also used her stardom to put Nickelodeon on blast in recent years Nicholas has stated how she felt unsafe during her time at Nickelodeon particularly when Dan Schneider was around according to Nicholas Schneider kept the work environment tense as he yelled at staff and always wanted to be present during her costume fittings he would sit in the chair and I would come out I would do a spin and then he would look at the Wardrobe artist and say can I have the polar wordss I just got like a full body chill it's bad adding to her unease is the infamous shot where co-star Jam Lin Spears had green goo shot on her face Nicholas recalls people laughing and referring to the shot as one you would see in an adult film wasn't funny it still isn't funny to me to be honest it's just

them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications Janette mccartie mccartie has long had problems with Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider so much so that simply hearing the names of the show she's worked on and the name of her character cause her to tense up at first she spoke up about her experiences in somewhat subtle ways such as in her web series what's next for Sarah which tells the story of an act R whose life begins to crumble after her show gets cancelled but when she released her book I'm glad my mom died in 2022 mcer exposed everything I think I've chosen a path of integrity and it hasn't always been easy referring to someone only known as the Creator mcer reveals several instances where this person widely believed to be Schneider created a toxic work environment and forced her and other actors to drink alcohol she even claimed that Nickelodeon offered mcer $300,000 to never speak about her experiences on set I just said no it's not happening that sounds like hush money to me not doing it not taking it since the Memoir came out many former Nickelodeon staff have come out to tell their stories eventually leading up to the biggest disturbance that we now know as quiet onset the sad part is is that there are likely hundreds more out there waiting to speak up my hope is that with every voice that comes out something changes maybe today's the day I don't know which actor story about Nickelodeon shocked you the most let us know in the comments let's talk about revenge once again I offer the butter sock
