Dirty Dan Schneider | xQc Reacts

is it a coincidence that three convicted pedophiles were working at the largest children's television network during the peak of its success and popularity what if I told you that there was also a convicted pedophile managing the children that were often cast on the Network's shows what if I told you that many of the underage girls were forced to kiss men over the age of 18 on camera and then what if you found out that multiple of these young victims grew up and were caught performing inappropriate sexual acts with children themselves repeating the cycle of abuse use these are not rumors these are facts when you combine these facts with the realization that many of the jokes physical comedy outfits and even random pieces of the set were sexual innuendos at some point you'd start to eliminate the possibility of this being a coincidence and start thinking this was all by Design today I'm going to break down exactly how a powerful network of Executives separated child actors from their families have their actors depend on them for emotional support then abuse their power to overwork these children break in billions in profits silence anyone who dared to speak out and then bragged about it in front of the whole world and just like most organized crime operations they typically funnel up to one top boss the Untouchable creator of this machine insert Dan Schneider the man behind the camera the esteemed Nickelodeon producer who created some of the most iconic children's television programs in history at the end of the day I love it when the cast gets sassy with me because I get to write all the scripts with some very talented writers but I get to I can put them in any horrible pred I choose Dan Schneider was a child actor himself most notable for his role as Dennis on Head of the Class during this time he and his co-star Brian Robbins became great friends the pair were later asked to co-host these second annual Kids Choice Awards by a Nickelodeon producer called Alby hect the three men struck a friendship and frequently discussed creating a project together by 1993 HEC had become a highlevel executive at Nickelodeon and challenge Robins to pitch him a children's television series that their new production Studio could pitch to Nickelodeon at the time Nickelodeon was not yet the PowerHouse it would become the network struggled to become profitable in the'80s as they were losing millions of dollars per year one year they were actually the lowest viewed Network out of all US Cable channels early '90s cartoons like Doug Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy were allowing the network to pick up higher viewership but their liveaction shows struggled so Brian recruited Dan and they came up with a sketch comedy show like Saturday Night Live but for children called all that Dan wrote In personal blog we did a nationwide Talent search and got very lucky every kid we ended up hiring for the original All That cast turned out to be fantastic Josh server Keenan Thompson Kell Mitchell Katrina Johnson Lorie Beth Denberg Angelique Bates and Alyssa Reyes Dan recalled that the show didn't test well and that the network felt like kids wouldn't like a sketch comedy show but they took a chance on him and the show immediately became a huge success for Nickelodeon as soon as it aired all that would go on to have 10 seasons and culture significant teon shows of all time imagine how proud the executives were of Dan's performance they were finally getting the big break they needed and Nickelodeon was coming closer to becoming a profitable Network the only thing that could ruin their momentum would be some sort of Scandal or reports of child abuse and that's exactly he has a drake Glazer guys it's not even the the grass that you know of it's the the it's the the one before it what happened according to Angel Bates who was only 12 years old when the abuse began but first a quick word from today's sponsor Underdog fantasy Underdog is the easiest way to play fantasy sports not just basketball you can make picks on Bas the first known Sur yes was C reg their player vers via the App Store only 12 years old and that's when my nightmare began I was physically mentally emotionally abused in front of the producers and cast members and sometimes they could even hear me yelling but nothing was done to help me until approximately 1996 when CPS was called and 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 my name is Angelic Bates and I am an adult Survivor of Shad abuse and this is my story Angelique is the first known Survivor who has spoken up against Nickelodeon's Corrupt Practices and her story is extremely important because it also highlights the parents involvement in such abuse Angelique recalls Nickelodeon producers being upset that her mom was constantly supervising her they started having a bull eye for her was that she was one of the parents that was not going to leave me unattended on set because by law parents are supposed to be there so um they didn't like that fact that she Le some parents would leave their kids unsupervised while they work they trusted the producers and did not want to interfere with their child's opportunity to build a career for themselves angelique's mother was not like that and she even recalled a time where someone made a sexual Advance towards her and her mother threatened to sue the network unfortunately I feel like it should be by a law that um that you that they covered the [ __ ] salary of the mom or the parent that's there uh for their days they spend on set with that chck otherwise it's impossible otherwise people are almost like forced because the financials to break the law because how can they sustain the the [ __ ] the whole um family if they have to take a day off for their child's day at work as a child worker it seems in impossible angelique's mother was also physically and emotionally abusive towards her so she wasn't safe on set or at home a double ass St my mom mom be my ass but then she's like protecting me from Nickelodeon all at the same time like she blocked all that like I said the reason why they started hating her was because she was blocking me from that and because she was tur out sexual advances from him Angelique slowly received less and less work due to her mother's involvement and believed she was blackballed by Nickelodeon because she and her mother could not be controlled and because no wrongdoings were ever officially reported all that ratings continued to soar the series propelled the careers of cast members Keenan Thompson and Kell Mitchell who starred in the first all that spin-off Keenan and Kell the show originally aired on Nickelodeon for Four Seasons from 1996 to 2001 and was equally as successful as all that winning the favorite TV show award at the 1998 Kids Choice Awards they also starred in the Nickelodeon cult classic film good Berger however with Schneider in charge not much changed behind the scenes Taisha Hampton ex-wife of Kell Mitchell spoke out on suspicious Behavior she experienced on Nickelodeon sets Taisha was married to Mitchell from 1999 to 2005 but they originally met on the set of Goodburger where she was casted as an extra she too backs up the claims that parents were not around and these parents like Kel's parents were not with him all these parents of the kids on the show their parents were not with them separate the children from the parents that seems to be a theme with Nickelodeon there are two main reasons why they likely did this firstly it seems like Nickelodeon was trying to take advantage of loose child labor laws in Florida where the shows were filmed according to the 1998 Florida child labor code miners aged 15 and under could work 40 hours per week as long as it was during a holiday or summer vacation 16 and 17 year olds who graduated from high school or had their GE Ed did not have to abide by any work hour restrictions a school superintendent could also issue a waiver of hours and there is no law that specifically States a parent must supervise their kid while their child is working however regardless of what the code says child labor experts say the laws were rarely enforced or penalized when there was a violation that's really important CH this is such a good [ __ ] point there's so many laws and things that just are not enforced and even if you look after the fact like oh that was a law oh this is a law dude it's like people don't give a [ __ ] about it nobody actually goes in and [ __ ] does that like in 1992 Jeffrey new of the national child labor committee said that child labor today is at a point where violations are greater than at any point during the 1930s one report found that the average business could how do you feel when you see a red light in a car okay how do you feel when you see a [ __ ] red little walking dude on foot technically kind of the same thing but you don't see them the same way because one isn't enforce at all nobody gives a [ __ ] about Jay walking dude I jalk all the [ __ ] time I'm a [ __ ] seal Jay Walker dude put me in jail could expect to be inspected once every 50 years or so inspectors spend only about 5% of their time looking into child labor problems businesses across the entire nation were taking advantage of loose child labor laws in the 9s do you think Nickelodeon was any different children are more susceptible to exploitation and abuse in the workplace due to their vulnerability and lack of bargaining power think of how easy it would be for a TV producer to torment and Gaslight a young actor if they weren't getting their lines right or performing to the producers standards but if their parents were they on set witnessing their child gets scolded they might cause a fuss producers want as little friction as possible so it's not crazy to think that they probably cast Talent with parents who stay out of their way but once they do get the parents out of the way what do they do with the kids because we would get into clubs and we were young like 16 17 years old we we'd be in clubs and the people on the set in Florida made us fake IDs true and so then I started thinking I was like wait wa dude chat oh my God this going to be a really bad take chat guys guys I'm just saying something that just kind of came to in my head what about uh I'm not trying to do what about is I'm trying to get the picture of it what about like um people that that that put a lot of effort into becoming good like basketball whatever or about their coaches right coaches that want to win like their [ __ ] contest or whatever or like their season of basketball at school I'm sure they kind of they say and do things that probably parents don't agree with whatever what about what about that is that kind of I think it's the same type of thing they want a result sure they're vocal about it whatever no what and then they were talking about origies and they were talking about like they would people on the set would show like pornos and they give us alcohol those were kid like young kids on that set yeah these were grown 30 year old men and women showing this to the kids CU bro bro do he response I did so much cocaine tonight what the [ __ ] bro 16 17 15 14 year old kids but another one of the cast members was was like um cleaning their cleaning Dan Schneider's car with a bikini on now this time she had been 15 16 years old there were other time they would have like parties where the parents wouldn't wouldn't be there and they'd give us alcohol and another one of the people on the cast was giving [ __ ] to the producers what wow you want of a kid and they were kids Tracy Brown whose son Brian Hearn was cast on all that for season 7 and 8 tells a similar story from a mother's perspective cuz there are many times on that set where they're like hey we want to invite Brian to a party and I'm like hey just Brian and they go yes and I'm like no and they don't like moms that take control of their child but I had heard things so guess what you don't need to like me and they were like well bye-bye and I was like let's go I was not going to do anything for the money like y'all need to understand I'm that woman I'm not going to do anything that might compromise my son not even for the in N um I could be wrong about this but if you say oh this is serious pursue it legally I'm sure the statutes of limitations are much past [ __ ] decades after the fact that [ __ ] and on top of that these are like things that kind of hard to pursue um and the burden of proofs are hard to [ __ ] uh achieve especially after one time and whatever it's just hard but many even suspect that the producers perversion may have been scripted into the shows starting with Kyra on Keenan and Kell who was just 12 years old but was always trying to flirt and make sexual advances on the much older Kell she would refer to him as her boyfriend despite him being obviously uninterested because she is at the same time that Keenan and K four huge Stars One All That cast member emerged and became the most iconic Nickelodeon star of all time Amanda bindes at just 10 years old Amanda stood out amongst her peers and showcased her comedic talents through various characters and sketches as a pre-teen she was maturely confident and comfortable on screen according to Leon Frierson who was cast on all that since season one Schneider showed clear favoritism for binds we had to go to school on set there would be times when Amanda would just be missing he recalled in the docu series A lot of times we would hear she would be with Dan pitching ideas and writing we see them grow closer to each other on set he continued Amanda Bin's parents were very Hands-On in her career specifically her dad his presence was always felt a big part of that was his relationship with Dan Schneider like we said before Hands-On parents were not wanted on Nickelodeon's set that is unless they are bending to the interests of Dan Schneider despite the favoritism Dan never planned on giving Amanda her own show because he claims he never wanted to be on children's television he initially created and helped produce a series called guys like us for the United Paramount Network at their Prime Time 8:00 p.m. slot guys like us revolves around two young men Shawn Barker and Jared Harris the pair are forced to look after Jared's six-year-old brother Maestro who comes to live with them after Jared's father accepts a job opportunity overseas why don't you go wash your hands they're clean well then go wash your feet Dan sitcom designed for adults was an utter failure as he was not funny nor creative enough to keep adults entertained it was canceled after one season due to abysmal ratings so he shifted his Focus to creating a show around Amanda The Amanda Show was a sketch comedy television program that had a very similar look feel and comedic style as all that and Kanan and Kell Schneider struck gold Again The Amanda Show became the highest rated liveaction television program on Nickelodeon during its run Amanda portrayed various characters that would become iconic such as Judge Trudy quad Miss bringing the Dan and lobsters crazy Courtney Chad I'm tell Chad Chad for all these [ __ ] TV networks the [ __ ] Scouts are insane the fact that they find this Talent is is [ __ ] it's unparalleled I think it's actually impressive and Amanda's obsessive fan Penelope taint my name is Penelope taint I'm Amanda's number one fan pleas and it took us 20 years to realize that her last name was a seexual innuendo people also think that her catchphrase Amanda please was built off the phase phrase a man to please which would be such a deep detailed level of inuendo that it's kind of hard to believe however as this video goes on it just seems more and more impossible people today also believe that her sketch called Amanda's jacuzzi may have been inappropriate since the whole concept was her as a 13-year-old interviewing mostly grown and of course another foot joke was it also true that she can both of your feet inside your mouth at the same time I don't know no even Dan decided to jump in the jacuzzi with Amanda hi welcome to my jacuzzi St my special guest is the executive producer of the amand show Dan Schneider hi now you're the exective producer of the show uh yes I'm the executive producer and the head people believe Dan was almost bragging by creating lightly sexual conduct into his kids shows like the spit baller 5000 which was a phallic object that the kids had to blow into to launch a giant spitball at someone behind the scenes footage indicates that Dan and Amanda were very close which is why it was shocking that The Amanda Show abruptly ended in 2002 just 3 years after it aired on Nickelodeon in an interview with the times bindes explained that she decided to leave for other opportunities I was having fun but at 15 you don't want to be doing what you did when you were 12 Schneider also commented on her exit with I've seen kids in her position experiment with drugs and be too promiscuous but Amanda has avoided all of that my wife who knows her says she's almost like Marsha Brady in that she's so cleancut and wholesome this quote seems characteristically odd from Dan like she was just talking about transitioning to more mature roles like her sitcom what I like about you and he had to bring up drugs and sex for some reason many years later cast members would come out and speak about how they perceived Amanda behind the scenes actress Chelsea brummit who co-starred on all that recalled she was closed off to everyone you'd ask her a question and she'd give you a quick answer to end the conversation she was always defiant with her dad but she tried to hide things from her dad she always seemed like she was trying to hide things they would butt heads this recount does line up with the timeline of 2003 where Amanda sought to be emancipated from her parents at just 17 years old in June of 2003 Amanda's agent manager and lawyer were all abruptly fired by her parents the young star now 17 was seeking legal emancipation from her parents who were Furious when they discovered that the Reps had concealed this fact from them unfortunately Amanda was not able to successfully get emancipated during rough patch in her life reportedly leaned on Schneider and his wife Lisa lilan for support she was spending a lot of time with us said lilan but she never left her family's house this direct quote from Dan's wife is strong evidence that Dan and Amanda were close offset Amanda has spoken out very strongly against her father andbe at the time looked at Schneider as a replacement Father Figure Dan also recently recounted a night where Amanda ran away from home uh one night it was very late well after midnight 1: or 2 in the Morning phone ran bro bro man I hate making physical appearance like comments dude but that [ __ ] neck beard goatey [ __ ] brother like dude I just [ __ ] hate it it's like this scheming disgusting dog it was very late well after midnight 1: or 2 in the Morning phone rang I answered it was Amanda she was upset she was in distress she had had some conflict with her parents I think her father and she called me I was immediately concerned about her safety I called someone who I knew was fair nearby that person was able to go and pick her up then I knew oh come on brother brother had had there been ever been other instances or stories about like her being UNS and her thing they even praise his dad for being there a lot and being concerned with her and [ __ ] uh being there a lot dude like she was safe and now all of a sudden now she ended up being taken to the police as much as people blame Dan for the downfall of Amanda's career or claim that he had suspicious involvement that's deeper and more inappropriate throughout Amanda's whole life and numerous public spirals she never blamed or accused Dan Schneider of anything all of her anger and horrible accusations were towards her biological father however the cloud of mystery and potentially inappropriate behavior surrounding Amanda as well as her obviously broken Family Life seemed to be a common gray area Dan found himself in with his Stars over the years some of the most prominent stars like jam Len Spears Janette mccartie and Ariana Grande all had absent fathers on one hand you can blame the parents on another you could look at Dan as a predatory opportunist or maybe it's a little bit of both but there was a real convicted Predator who worked underneath Dan Schneider Jason handy a production assistant who worked on all that in The Amanda Show exchanged email addresses and phone numbers with parents and kids who thought he was a friendly and helpful presence on set you thought oh I could be friends with this person said MJ the mother of a former actress on The Amanda Show who was identified as Brandy the mother was mortified when she saw her 11-year-old daughter looking at a graphic email from handy it was a picture of him [Music] naked [Music] masturbating and he said he had sent it to her because he wanted her to see that he was thinking of her her daughter left the entertainment industry after that email Andy was arrested in April of 2003 after law enforcement received a tip about him when the police investigated his home they found over 1,700 images of young girls in erotic poses as well as seven videos on CD files of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct in Handy's Personal Diary he wrote sentences like I am a pedophile full-blown he added I have really been giving into my desire for little girls these past few weeks and then he detailed his day-to-day struggle on how he could find a victim that he could sexually assault in 2004 handy was sentenced to 6 years in prison after being convicted on two felony counts one of LW acts on a child and one of Distributing sexually explicit material by email as well as on a misdemeanor charge related to sexual exploitation of a child many of you are probably thinking 6 years is not enough and surprise surprise he got out and in 2014 committed two other felony sex offender violations with a child allegedly Handy's case prompted Nickelodeon to toughen its background checks for all employees trying to prevent this from happening again yet somehow this was not even close to the last time a pedophile would infiltrate Nickelodeon's Network actor Drake Bell formed a bond with the dialogue coach Brian pek during the second season of The Amanda Show peek who has no relation to Drake's co-star Josh pek would invite Drake to his house for acting lessons these lessons were supervised by Drake's father Joe who was told that Brian peek was people always like oh dude like it's better to reform them and make them do better and prison is just a punishment but we need to uh make people like just just learn over brother that that argument Falls flat when you let people like say that they're fullblown whatever the [ __ ] do like eight billion things then six years on good behavior 2014 what was that like [ __ ] two years or some [ __ ] like that right and they do it again bro if you do do it again GG dude they should just should be they should be a criminal multiplier regardless of your status if you let's say somehow get slip through the crack of the system and you get out and you do the same behavior it should be a multipli like a 5x on the whatever you get next let's say next one is like three five years whatever you have a 5x from the first one that's five 5 25 boom was a skilled coach would help Drake secure more acting opportunities however over time Joe became uncomfortable with their relationship and unfortunately now start to just hang around Drake too much and it didn't didn't set well with me Drake would be in the dressing room or something and end would pop Brian and um just touch Drake you know do things that wait a second what are you doing Drake can put that on himself and the thing is this is in front of people Joe expressed his concerns with production personnel and said he was uncomfortable with Brian only to be called homophobic because of Brian's sexual orientation therefore Joe backed off once this got back to Brian he manipulated Drake into severing ties with his father/ manager suggesting that Joe was sabotaging Drake's career PEC subsequently integrated himself into multiple areas of Bell's life and became a father figure for the young actor eventually PE convinces Drake's mother to let him stay at his house during auditions these Predators entice the children with Fame and Fortune convince them that their parents are trying to hold them back then totally isolate them and do who knows what behind closed doors it's likely that all the kids who made it out unscathed were because of parents who stepped in and removed remove their child from the situation before it was too late however the more popular the actor was such as Drake Bell the more difficult it became to remove them from the industry sadly with Brian peek and Drake Bell we do know what happened behind closed doors when Drake slept on Brian's couch the sexual assault began was sleeping on the couch where I would usually sleep and I woke up to him I I just opened my eyes I woke up and he was uh he was sexually assulting me um why don't you think of the worst stuff that someone can do to somebody as a sexual assault and that'll answer your question Drake wouldn't tell anyone for several months the abuse persisted until Drake began spending more time at a girlfriend's house one day when he was supposed to meet with Brian Drake said he did not want to hang out Brian then started calling his phone non-stop when Drake failed to answer Brian obsessively started calling his girlfriend's house which is when the girlfriend's mother suspected something was wrong and took Drake to her family therapist he later detailed the abuse to his own mother who called the police I had to be excruciatingly detailed about every single thing and time that it had happened with two absolute strangers the worst part was I had to make a phone call to Brian and get him to admit to what he'd done the police monitored a wired phone call with Brian who broke into a full-on confession that led to his arrest the investigation was conducted privately and Bell remained unidentified to the public for several years due to his age at that time Drake did tell Dan Schneider about this situation right before the trial and when Drake and I talked and he told me what had happened I was more devastated by that than anything that ever happened to me in my career thus far and I told him I'm here for you what do you need but Drake's mom a lovely woman who I stay in contact with this day she came to me at the time and she said Dan I'm not good with words like you are and would you help me with my speech for the judge and I said of course and I did during Brian peek's trial numerous prominent figures in the entertainment industry wrote letters of support vouching for his character including James marsten Taran kilum growing pain star Allan thick Boy Meets World actors will frle and Ryder Strong among others some of these figures including fredel and strong have since expressed their regret over writing the letters and stated the neck beard dude it's the [ __ ] it's the it's the chin like skin over here and when he moves like this it's [ __ ] wobbles dude like like [ __ ] jar jar [ __ ] Binks dude it's disgus they were manipulated by peek's misinformation Brian peek was convicted of child molestation in 2004 pleading no contest to a charge of oral copulation with a minor under 16 and a charge of performing a lwd act with a 14 or 15-year-old he spent only 16 months in prison and was mandated to register as a sex offender and if you are surprised at that abysmally low sentencing PE got out and secured a job working for Disney's The Sweet Life of Zach and Cody in 2006 where he voiced London Tipton's Talking Mirror for three episodes the Disney Channel hired a registered sex offender despite these horrible circumstances Drake remained in the industry and would go on to Star alongside Josh pek and their legendary buddy comedy Drake and Josh which again caused the Network's ratings to explode to new heights the series premiere was watched by 3.2 million viewers the Network's highest rated series premiere in nearly 10 years Drake and Josh episodes regularly saw viewership upwards of five 6 7 million as of 2006 the show ranked consistently among the 10 most watch cable shows across all of television and you could just add Zoe 101 to the list of Dan's dominant programs which they could have gone away with I'm going say this they could have got gone away with like them being evil like this by G like a a remote job whatever where he doesn't like come even close to this I'm pretty sure he did right on average of 3 million viewers per episode like they could have some plausible deniability by saying oh the person was never involved close to set or whatever the [ __ ] he was he was never close to children or whatever I'm just saying it was gu saying concerned I'm saying it there is a world where they could have had a layer of plausible deniability right and then know better it was on the set of Zoe 101 where even more photos emerged of Dan getting a little too comfortable with the cast particularly Aaron Sanders who was merely a child being held and cuddled on Dan's lap you can also see this photo where Dan's hand is resting on the child's lower back Zoe 101 also had 34 different kissing scenes across its Four Seasons while this may not seem that strange for a teen drama show it did often lead to underage female actresses kissing over 18-year-old males Brando Eaton was 20 years old and Victoria Justice was 14 Victoria at this time also had to kiss jiren vosberg who was 18 and get this 12-year-old Jam Lyn Spears had to kiss 22-year-old Justin Timberlake on the set of all that and Justin dated Britney Spears which is Jaime's sister 3 years earlier also this Zoe 101 scene resurfaced recently and many believe it to be a sexual innuendo Spears's co-star Alexa Nikolas recall Dan making a crew member squirt the syringe of Goo at Spears over and over again it's also important to remember that all of the information that you now know from this video was totally Unknown by the public at the time all the allegations and predatory behavior was all silenced before they could ever reach headlines okay what Brother come on brother the really kissing just a peck okay well brother brother brother barely any media Outlets were reporting on why pedophiles were allowed to work on set survivors were scared to speak their truth and even if they wanted to they would have to go through a publicist or rely on a potentially corrupt media Outlet to tell their story the right way all anyone saw was the final product on television so we assumed everything was consensual and safe and approved by people who had the best interest of the children in mind even if the network was suspicious of Dan and his production staff which they weren't they were going to do anything and everything to protect his reputation because Nickelodeon bro you're an adult on set with other adults with other writers and you're all green lighting a asking and making somebody commit deviancy and one person accepting it as an underage brother I don't think you understand there's like you know sometimes there's like multiple Point Fair system whatever that's like 6,000 layers of wrong like I don't think you stand like was redot at this point they had been the number one networking viewers Age 2 to 11 for over a decade they were raking in millions of viewers and billions of dollars Dan had more power than ever and was about to unleash all of his sick fantasies through I Carly the basic premise of I Carly was that Carly Shay played by previous Drake and Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove and her friends Sam and Freddy played by Janette mccartie and Nathan Crest produce a web show from Carly's older brother's apartment the show resonated with the real world rise of online content creation and the growing influence of social media platforms like YouTube during the 2000s the show within a show encouraged fan interaction by incorporating segments that invited viewers to participate in the show's interactive elements Additionally the characters often responded to fan mail and viewer submissions on their web show further blurring the lines between fiction and reality like take a look at this time they call a you have any questions for Sydney I follow your Twitter how old are you I'm 12 no way I just turned 16 you're 12 yes I'm like a little over double that yeah Jerry's all old so so um what do you like about I Carly I love it it's really funny anything else you want to know about I Carly or any questions or anything no no you're all set thank you I know what I know would you like us to get on a plane and come to your house yes oh well that's not going to happen oh okay okay Dan himself often communicated directly with fans on his blog danwarp blogspot.com where he gave behind the scenes information and did q&as he also started giving tons of behind the-scenes Clips to his Dan warp YouTube channel giving us Insight on the cast's uncomfortability around him what it wouldn't be a video for my Carly if I didn't do this to you I don't what are you doing I don't know what's going on what are you wearing today who did your outfit I did I've had too much caffeine don't do anything with this footage please it's so lame did you know that the average adult American male has 18 hairs on each of his toes this is what happens when it gets late yeah seriously let us go home D again brother we would be home if you had gotten some of your lies right earlier in the day right am I right yeah oh yeah who's embarrassed now who's embarr no what are you doing I'm scared Janette Susie May page wants to know yeah if you could fill a pool get out of here wants to know if you could fill a pool with anything you like and swim in it what would it be and why um confetti because it's a celebration in the pool okay that makes no sense Miranda pineapple juice what I didn't ask the question oh sorry well I heard I was thinking this whole time okay the question is if you wanted me to hit you with a bottle of something what would it be pineapple juice okay Here Comes This Is Why I'm in Hollywood eat your cereal kids did she say nice things about me cuz I will taseer if necessary uhoh I have the taser we haven't had to use it in a long time but I said lots of nice things oh I said nice things about you too that's going to get on TV that's going to get on TV in these clips you can get a glimpse of Dan's unpredictability I mean just look at how Miranda steps away from Dan as he proceeds to make his way around her back and then hugs her from behind as she stands awkwardly still as you could see while Dan is shoving a camera in these actors faces they're often confused is he joking is he angry is he creepy is he going to touch them or grab them they look extremely uncertain around him as he talks to them like a classic Jester but I Carly was a massive success for the network throughout its six seasons from 2007 to 2012 the pilot episode debuted on Nickelodeon to an audience of 4.1 million followed by by the second episode on the same day with 3.9 million viewers the show was nominated for an Emmy Award for outstanding Children's Program five times and averaged 4.6 million viewers throughout its time on Nickelodeon somehow Dan managed to outdo Drake and Josh but looking back on the show many of the jokes and innuendos were more blatant than we [Applause] remember how long 3.2 seconds yeah that's the longest it's ever taken you to beat me or how about the sack which was Dan making fun of the snuggy you're just sitting on your couch trying to polish your bowling ball but your blanket keeps flying off your body what does that mean there oh my blanket keeps flying off my body like are we reading into it too much or is polishing your ball while advertising the sack not strategic they mention that the sack comes in four different colors the sack comes in rash red mucus green hus yellow or blue shows are always I think these are all reaches but I don't want to seem like I'm I just maybe his language be I don't understand it I don't he's displaying close-ups of feet and putting cast members in predicaments where they have to touch each other's feet nobody thinks feet are this funny especially not for them to be such a recurring bit in a television show many have pointed out that the Nickelodeon logo at one point was a foot suggesting that Dan's influence was so strong he got them to change their logo momentarily to his fed I even found something on his blog that was particularly interesting he had a segment called fun facts on his blog where he would go through an i Carly script and talk about tiny little details and why they matter like this one where he refers to Sam's necklace and how it's made of the same plastic that the antique radios that he collects are made out of I mention this because it proves that there are no coincidences with what you see on screen no matter how small or insignificant it may seem Dan put it there on purpose in the same episode which is called I dat a bad boy Dan says scenes begin with Carly and Sam cutting a Bo hair we see the first of Two Penny tees in this 1-hour episode this one on Sam says noodle booty what does noodle booty mean why did Dan specifically point out her shirt and want us to know what it says in another blog post he specifically points out one of his intentionally inappropriate jokes one where he wrote a joke where an adult woman sexualizes 17-year-old Nathan Crest Dan writes on the first few takes when Jane said her line hey those pants fit you real good she was looking at the front of his pants I had the director step in quietly and tell her that because this is for Nickelodeon we'd prefer she look at the back of his pants on that line winky face I guess Dan thinks that complimenting a young boy's butt is somehow more appropriate additionally take a look at this 2010 blog post where he discusses adults who watch iic Carly he writes there are around 150 people who work on iic Carly and none of us approach it like we're making a kid show we make I Carly no differently than if we were writing and producing a a prime time half-hour comedy for NBC CBS or any one of the major broadcast networks this statement directly contradicts what he said while addressing the quiet onset documentary some people think that some of those jokes are inappropriate for children mhm what do you think of that every one of those jokes was written for a kid audience because kids thought they were funny and only funny so Dan are the jokes for adults like you said 10 years ago on your blog or are they for I know what the cont of this blog post is though you just said recently when the pressure is at an all-time high it was also during I Carly when 47-year-old Martin Weiss who managed dozens of child actors was formally charged with sexually abusing a formal client the victim told police that he had sex with Weiss 30 to 40 times about 6 years ago and the abuse ended when he turned 15 years old but Weiss denied that it was grape because the 15-year-old boy showed interest but the boy said that Martin convinced him that this was common in the industry and denying him would ruin his career yet again a pedophile infiltrated Nickelodean and nothing changed still Dan was absolutely dominating he likely had unimaginable power at the network whatever he said goes but he may have gotten a little too comfortable maybe even cocky because his next two shows I'm just more confused about the uh the amount of people on a set and the amount of production people that it takes to run a [ __ ] show it's like in the dozens at a time because of like lighting cameras [ __ ] lines cats whatever the [ __ ] I'm more confused about the fact that all of the people are at the same time combined green lighting this [ __ ] was Victorious and Sam and Cat would start to get him in a lot of trouble Schneider was challenged with writing a competitor to Disney Channels hanon dude just of losing their jobs brother they're in [ __ ] Hollywood or what the [ __ ] place okay with a studio your job I have to be honest with you I don't want to downplay like the risk of losing your job but there's a lot of job opportunities and if you're you can't leverage losing your job when there's a crazy amount of [ __ ] spots for that to denounce or [ __ ] say anything about some weird [ __ ] going on it I feel like the trade-off is pretty slim Tana Zoe 101 had recently ended and Dan knew that featured actress Victoria Justice had star power if there is anything I've learned about kids today I'm say good or bad it's that they all want to be Stars this direct quote from Dan potentially backs up accusations that he uses these teenagers desires for stardom to manipulate them ironically the plot of Victorious is about a girl who attends a performing art school and aspires to be a famous singer in 2010 I Carly and Victorious were the top two liveaction shows on Nickelodeon helping Nick maintain its 16-year status as the number one network on all of cable Victorious aired from 2010 to 2013 through through Four Seasons winning favorite TV show at the 2012 and 2013 Kids Choice Awards beating out I Carly as well as receiving four Emy nominations to the surprise of no one Dan created another iconic children's TV show but at what cost before the show premiered Nickelodeon Productions partnered with the columia Epic label group of Sony Music Entertainment to co-produce the series to develop talent and release their music Ariana Grande famously got her big break on Victorious she was the perfect addition to the show due to her capabilities but her role on the was the airheaded girl who says literally that is on her mind perfect for Dan to take what suck about all these shows that I'm from Quebec and we had these shows translated to French and they were all [ __ ] horrendous like you would watch them in the background but I don't think there's any people from where I'm from that watch these like religiously nobody literally anything that is on her mind perfect for Dan to take advantage of and insert more inuendos sometimes I wonder if you was compl dog [ __ ] is it possible for a teenage girl to drink water upside down M I'm thirsty it's not possible this clip of Dan and the Victorious cast behind the scenes has been dissected many times over the years where Ariana and Elizabeth Gillis seem visibly uncomfortable due to Dan's presence that was one of the better things I've ever heard what's going on here C out that why are you sitting on the floor of the set because we are Ariana is constantly looking around covering up her body as Dan towered over her many in the comments speculate that Liz started causing distractions so that Dan wouldn't do whatever they seem to be afraid of however Liz Gillis actually ended up marrying a Nickelodeon producer producer that she met on the set of Victorious Michael corkran is a very close friend to Dan Schneider he wrote the theme songs for I Carly and victorus Liz and Michael began dating in 2012 when she was 18 and he was 40 they did meet on set before she was 18 which leads many to believe that she was groomed but they are still together to this day according to Janette mccartie Schneider regularly compared the iic Carly cast to that of Victorious the Victorious kids get drunk together all the time the iic Carly kids are so wholesome we need to give you guys a little Edge Schneider said according to mccartie now supplying miners with alcohol is a major accusation there is definitely a lot of online evidence showing that the Victorious cast were very close often mingling and hanging out after hours but whether or not they are drunk is impossible to determine however the actor who portrayed be on Victorious may have confirmed mcc's statements on a Tik Tok that read when you don't remember the plot line to a single Victorious episode but you remember going out partying every night Daniela mon who played the lead sister Trina Vega told Insider that some of the actor outfits on the show were not age appropriate I don't know why some of these guys they go around the pots and they they make like inuendos or like double on tandre and like jokes or whatever and just [ __ ] say me NDA guys you guys have noted how nda's [ __ ] work it is just as NDA in this scenario of like going to a party than what you're doing at the party pretty much it's it's much the same thing like whether they drank or not because him saying it would be in D and but and that she wouldn't even wear some of that today as an adult Daniela also recalled the time when she contacted what say says you [ __ ] loser you look like a [ __ ] R Nickelodeon about a Victoria scene where she ate a pickle while applying lip gloss she expressed concern to the network that it was too sexual to air but Nickelodeon aired it anyway and in case you were wondering if Dan ever slowed down on his foot content no he actually ramped it up there we go man know everything bro bro I've written ndas I know how ndas [ __ ] work I know what the [ __ ] I've signed dozens of them over the years it's like when you say oh guys I don't have an NDA about this or I could or not that's also NDA NDA is the fact that it's it's it's um it maintains integrity that's what an NDA is somebody is leaking some things or other things or whatever about an NDA or an events because they're isn't one or they're already breaching it might as well [ __ ] double down and just [ __ ] say the details of it what is this did I pause on this did I pause on this spread your toes spread your toes girl I still say this is not performing how about two girls fighting over a guy's foot while he sings a song wow they're really soft nurses feel these kids feet but it was around 2012 and 2013 when people online finally started to question what was going on at Nickelodeon I believe it was due to Amanda Bin's very public downward spiral it was around this time she made headlines for her first DUI assaulting a member of the paparazzi being seen in public looking disheveled and distraught then she was evicted from her New York City apartment and she got some strange dimple piercings and even posted lwd photos that were not very flattering in short people were saying that she was going crazy and naturally they started to question the children's television industry that she grew up in an Infamous blind item appeared on the crazy days and nights blog of someone trying to warn the public about Dan he's a monster the worst Predator alive and if you wonder why nobody will confront or charge him he's in charge of multiple hit shows for Nick which rakes in oceans of money what about the parents no tweener parent who shove their kid into the Limelight from birth is going to cross him see that's what I [ __ ] hate about all these things that always happen is that the people that denounce the most [ __ ] chat this going come across as bad are somehow usually the least credibles cuz she was going through a hard time and she was a little bit crazy she was doing a lot of crazy a lot of drugs so people are going to discredit and people are going to go against the narrative or what is being said and and it's going to be harder to get the message across it's usually more impactful when the people they kind have nothing to gain or whatever or are going crazy that's when uh when these people make a statement that is more impactful you guys can go against me as long as you want that's how the world works either and risk career suicide and loss of Revenue no matter how bad it FS up the kids it was also around this time that a redditor alleged that Dan offered them $100 to tickle their feet while on set of one of his shows now none of these claims were backed by any real or substantial evidence but it did get people talking media Outlets finally began speaking out questioning the intentions of children's TV specifically pointing to the sexual nature of Victorious those designer threads often have an adult sex that unsuccessfully straddles the line between tasteful and trampy while guys are allowed to be quirky and weird looking girls are uniformly cast from the same Bratz doll mold meanwhile you had Dan posting things on his blog like but what cat does in this scene is a special variation of the spit take where the liquid just falls out of her mouth yes this is what I do for a living I analyze the various kinds of spit takes not a bad job smiley face after this quote from Dan we now know that this photo which is on the official zo1 IMD page sh Victoria Justice with spit falling out of her mouth is probably his creation you also had people in the early 2010s analyzing his old tweets ones where he was constantly talking about people's feet and Toes this toe belongs to one of the stars on one of my shows whose toe is this to which he later tweeted the toe belongs to the sweet and hilariously talented Miss Janette mccartie Sam and Cat tomorrow right on the bottom of your foot take a pick and use # Salmon Cat Saturday we will follow until our fingers get sore I also found this extremely old Pepsi commercial Dan starden in the late ' 80s this is so Twisted because it's one a fetish of his so he likes that and for young people chat back in days nobody even knew the existence of that fetish even and on of that like toes being like ugly and like funny and ticklish I'm sure people a lot people actually did it unknowingly which potentially features an innuendo with the lotion shot splattering on the guy's chest so it's like the least of people's worries on their side and like the exact opposite for his [ __ ] the thing he really wants it's like really odd then the focus of the entire commercial being on his feet not wanting to touch the sand because it's hot and of course there's females in the background and they're bikinis Dan was unaware of the digital Renaissance aiming to take him down and he was as Reckless as ever I Carly was officially over and Victorious was scheduled to end a few months later Schneider decided to hit two birds with one stone and make a dual spin-off for both shows he took a fan favorite from my Carly in Sam Pucket and a fan favorite from Victorias in Cat Valentine and created a teen sitcom titled Sam and Cat the premise of the show revolved around the unlikely friendship of Sam and Cat who meet and become roommates in Los Angeles while starting their own babysitting business to make ends meet which is basically the same plot as his failed Prime Time sitcom from the 9s the pilot debuted on Nickelodeon to you know I would watch these shows and like I go my room and rearrange my my furniture to make it look like a set I thought set was so inspiring and cool no roommates in Los Angeles starting babysitting bus to me which is basically the same plot as his failed Prime Time sitcom from the 9s the pilot debuted on theodon 4.2 million viewers and was surprisingly popular despite being a spin-off that was clearly inferior to its original shows however Sam and Cat only lasted one season and was cancelled following controversy behind the scenes firstly Janette MCC posted this strange Vine hey Dan Schneider I know you're watching my Vine do you like my Vine fine fine fine look what you've done to me considering she would speak out against him 10 years later we now know this was not our imagination he was really making her crazy in her 2022 Memoir I'm glad my mom died MCC detailed her childhood and how her mother Deborah forced her to become a child actor Schneider was also mentioned in the Memoir solely as the Creator who MCC claimed created an unsafe work environment frequently subjecting the cast and crew to emotional abuse when Janette turned 18 and I Carly was coming to an end the Creator allegedly dangled the opportunity for Janette to have her own spin off she wrote that the Creator took her out to dinner where he encouraged her to try alcohol for the first time and gave her a shoulder massage the Creator is doing that thing that I've heard from my co-stars he does with every new star of a show that he's making he takes you under his wing you're his favorite additionally there was a feud between Ariana and Janette Brewing behind the scenes on janette's podcast she discussed her time on Sam and Cat revealing that she was jealous of Ariana Grande because Executives allowed her the opportunity to pursue other business ventures while restricting mcc's career advancement every time something exciting happens to her I feel like she robbed me of having that experience myself and every time someone calls me a good sport all I feel is how much I don't want to be one Ariana misses work in pursuit of her music career while I act with a box I'm pissed about it and I'm pissed at her jealous of her in case you're wondering one episode of Sam and Cat was based around cat getting trapped in a box and Sam spent the whole episode trying to get her out the writers had to come up with an episode without her because Ariana was busy with her music career and couldn't film this show getting canceled after one very successful season was likely due to this Feud but I'm sure Dan's Behavior towards Janette and Ariana made it easy for them to it's not really a ww moment I think I think it it takes a lot of uh it takes a lot of confidence and a lot of guts to admit that you were jealous at a certain time I think being jealous is per if you if you admit it like that see that's how you felt about it perfectly fine if you're not doing anything that damages or hurts somebody and just thought that you had a feeling and you say it down the line andf fine this basically marks the end of Dan's dominance at the network he was recognized for his 20 years of work in Nickelodeon with their very first Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014 for the few online that were aware of the rumors surrounding Dan this award rubbed them the wrong way slowly in 2014 and after we saw more media coverage pointing out inappropriate moments in his shows but again the masses the General Public had no idea what he was doing and for a few years people stopped talking about him online until 2017 when the Harvey Weinstein me shook industry predators to their core and Dan tried to make it out unscathed in October of 2017 investigative reports by the New York Times And The New Yorker exposed Decades of sexual harassment assault and misconduct allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein this prompted bloggers who knew about Dan's history to discuss him once again more blind items from the crazy days and nights blog emerged like this one that suggests Dan the producer was sleeping with cast members a my brain's playing a trick CH does this not play the guy in Iron Man allegations that discuss him suggest Dan the producer was sleeping with cast members a producer who has been featured on this site from almost the very beginning when she landed the park the producer never mentioned anything about sleeping with her all but one of them were underage she suspected that because she was legal for almost the entire I I got to do ack I got to at least check my brain is going to uh Iron Man one bad guy okay yeah it's not him power I got to get out of this thing to the world all my bad sorry my brain is playing a trick on me you it his best one it's it's kind of close know and Dan tried to make and The New Yorker exposed Decades of sexual harassment assault and misconduct allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein this prompted bloggers who knew about Dan's history to discuss him once again more blind items from the crazy days and nights blog emerged like this one that suggests Dan the producer was sleeping with cast members a producer who has been featured on this site from almost the very beginning when she landed the part the producer never mentioned anything about sleep with her all but one of them were underage she suspected that because she was legal for almost the entire run of the show that he was just not that into her at some point he did try and sleep with her and she turned him down that rejection cost her a bunch of scene reductions meanwhile the producer found someone else to sleep with who was also legal but loved to roleplay super young she was getting the good lines and scenes she was being offered crossover opportunities and new shows were being developed for her and again this could just be people spreading lies but now the pressure was on and Nickelodeon Dan Schneider they could feel the heat websites like the Revenge of the cysts became fully dedicated to exposing the creepy nature of the Nickelodeon Network coincidentally as the pressure was at an all-time high Nickelodeon cut ties with Dan Schneider in March of 2018 and paid him the $7 million still owed on his contract they claim this separation was a natural next step and they are proud of the work he did for Nickelodeon deadline Hollywood reported that there had been complaints about Schneider's alleged Behavior including his well documented temper issues for years following reports that Nickelodeon and Schneider parted ways Dan's Twitter account went quiet he only rarely made public appearances he also tried to erase everything on his blog but we still got that Nickelodeon Studios even released its reboot of I Carly for the Paramount plus streaming platform without Schneider from Dan's exit in 2018 until today YouTubers bloggers previous castmembers and media Outlets greatly contributed to informing the public about Dan's ways perhaps the most detailed and detrimental article was the 2022 Business Insider Deep dive which interviewed 15 of Dan's former co-workers some of which hor I overpaid but still though if you're for Disney if you're making them like all these shows and [ __ ] like that they're making billions off of that [ __ ] okay 7 mil for what let's say like half a year a year 7 mil bro that's [ __ ] that's that's nothing I mean that's that's not much and others defended his character Dan cared about the kids on his shows even when sometimes their own families unfortunately did not Russell Hicks Nickelodeon's former president of content and production wrote he was the shoulder they cried on when something happened to them he understood what they were going through Schneider Drew hours away from writing scripts and instead spent time mingling with the Stars on his shows taking them out to dinner and inviting them to his house for holiday parties it became so frequent that some wait wait is that him in the back why he was mega fat he deflated for like half a second and he went back to fat inviting to holiday parties so frequent that some of Schneider's colleagues questioned the amount of time he spent interacting with young actors while Dan focused on being accepted by the children on his shows several writers and crew members claimed Schneider created an uncomfortable bizarre environment regularly demanding 14 plus hour days and expected writers and crew members to be available 24 hours a day 7 days a week more disturbing was Schneider's Behavior towards female crew members reportedly hugging them for extended periods as a joke making people uncomfortable Schneider also requested massages from adult female colleagues during his tenure at the network according to several Nickelodean staffers Kerrie melan who worked as a costumer on Schneider shows for 14 years said Schneider received weekly massages from a third member of the costume team they also claimed that Schneider would ask the women to give him a massage by reaching under his shirt despite claims that he fostered a hostile work environment Schneider shows and Nickelodeon were greenlighted because of his influence within the company onset employees rarely push back against Schneider another writer said because you just didn't cross Dan he was a really scary presence however it took all the way until the quiet on I think this massage tactic is like a way for them to get like a foot in the door with like escalating that further down the line or whatever it's just like the the general tactic I feel like a lot of these mother suckers are doing set documentary before Dan ever responded to any of these allegations but during this 20-minute interview he basically only admits to being mean to his writers I would uh they like I would be snarky when I could have given them a nicer answer um I would not give people the time that they needed I would be in too big a hurry to get on the next tury here man and watching that show it made me there was so many times I wanted to pick up a look man he's turkeyed like just look at it man guys I'm like a hater of the turkey gobble [ __ ] Gob and let's talk about it and I I wish you'd had a better time and I wish I could have shown you a better experience the rest of this conversation was him deflecting blame he said that his inappropriate jokes were approved by the executives at Nickelodeon that were above him and they didn't think the jokes were inappropriate at the time but he also said that since people are upset about those jokes then he's okay with erasing them which makes people wonder are they inappropriate or not he claims he had no knowledge of any sexual assault that any of his previous cast members experienced but he did admit to demanding massages let's talk about the massages okay watching the content yesterday that was disturbing it was wrong it was wrong that I ever put anybody in that position it was a wrong thing to do I'd never do it today I'm embarrassed that I did it then I apologize to anybody that I ever put in that situation and even additionally I apologize to the people who were walking around video Village or wherever they happened because there were lots of people there who witnessed it who also may have felt uncomfortable so I owe them an apology as well yeah he 100% wholeheartedly admitted that he forced people to touch him which is interesting because ites very difficult to believe that he would stop there perhaps the craziest part about this video is that there's still so much more that I could cover some people's entire YouTube channels are dedicated to Bringing Dan's dark secrets to light but I do want to leave off with this message just remember that it's easy to think that this is all just entertainment because well these allegations feature some of our favorite child stars remember that they what if they could like what if you could the it's like an among like have like a box of like feedback to HR and you write I think the turkey is touching people weird right so that people don't lose their jobs for being behind the camera or whatever and they put that at HR and HR says yo D listen man this week man like 11 people said that you're touchy [ __ ] you turkey [ __ ] yo turkey [ __ ] you got to stop the [ __ ] like boom no is that not a good solution they were real victims that had to suffer people have gotten so wrapped up and excited about this expose that they're now blaming innocent people for being complicit in these alleged crimes for example Zoe 101 star Matthew Underwood was getting death threats for not speaking out against an Schneider so to prove to these people that he is innocent he voiced two different times where he was sexually assaulted as a minor so now after hearing many of the allegations the rumors the testimonies the convictions the confession surrounding Dan Schneider's time on Nickelodeon is it all just a coincidence a conspiracy or a calculated crime conglomerate is of course I'm upset that that turkey guy is a [ __ ] I'm I'm I'm upset at the state of um of Affairs that things were like that nobody's saying [ __ ] or doing [ __ ] like people will not go on break every time and say like Yo dude like you say say turkey like how he was doing this thing or whatever yeah it's and there's like a general state of the workplace of like this guy's weird like that people agree weird and and it really makes me want to sing the song
