Former actresses on Nickelodeon are now making Allegations against the network.
Daniella Monet, who played Trina Vega from 2010-2013 on the show âVictorious,â spoke about her experience on the show working with creator Dan Schneider.
Monet claimed that while on the show it was âvery PC, funny, silly, friendly, chill,â at times, there were also moments âonce in a whileâ where she was uncomfortable.
âDo I wish certain things, like, didnât have to be so sexualized? Yeah. A hundred percent,â she said, per People.
Monet also spoke about a certain scene where she had to eat a pickle while applying lip gloss during filming.
After filming, People reports that Monet went to executives from Nickelodeon and expressed her concerns over the vulgarity of the scene. However, it aired anyway.
Schneider reportedly also asked female coworkers to massage him and for the girls in âVictoriousâ to wear âskimpierâ clothing, HuffPost reports.
Monet is not the only Actress on the network who is speaking out about her negative experiences.
On August 22, Alexa Nikolas, Jamie Lynn Spearsâ co-star in the show âZoey 101â posted a video on her Instagram protesting outside of Nickelodeonâs Burbank Offices with her organization âEat Predators.â

âEAT PREDATORS hosts Slime Time Live @nickelodeon If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse you have until December in the state of California to get justice. Doesnât matter what year it happened. If you feel the time is now for you then call 1-800-itâs-time for legal advice so you can begin that process. The choice has to be yours. And yours only,â she wrote in the caption.
In the video, Nikolas claims that she personally did not feel protected as a child at Nickelodeon and demanded that the network âstarts protecting children and not the predators.â
She also claims that she did not feel safe around Dan Schneider and every time he came on set her body got extremely tense and in season two of Zoey 101 he yelled at her and made her cry.
Nickelodeonâs former president of content and production, Russell Hicks made a statement about the Allegations saying, âEvery single thing that Dan ever did on any of his shows was carefully scrutinized and approved.â
In her new memoir titled, âIâm Glad My Mom Diedâ Jennette McCurdy, who starred in the show âICarlyâ has also made Allegations about Schneider writing, âThe Creator can tear you down and humiliate you. Iâve seen him do this when he fired a six-year-old on the spot for messing up a few lines on a rehearsal day. And when a boom operator accidentally dropped the boom into a shot and The Creator stomped over to him and screamed in his face,â she wrote.
