I remember being on the-n forums back in 2007 and people talking about how sketchy he was, this is literally NOTHING new. Yet NOW is when they cut ties with him. Right after the rise of the “me too” movement and right around when all these people in Hollywood are being called out for rape or harassment or pedophilia or general creepiness or all of the above.
this isn’t how a normal man poses with young teenage/preteen girls.
these aren’t “harmless” photos taken with someone who’s like a father figure, this is creepy as hell. I wouldn’t pose for photos with my own dad like that past the age of like… 5, and these were kids aged 12-16 with a grown man who is known for putting sexual images in the CHILDREN’S shows he produces and happily putting his damn foot fetish shit in his shows. This is fucking creepy.
Hell even when Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant there were rumors that the kid was his, primarily because she conceived while filming Zoey 101 in LA, and JLS allegedly told a friend it “wasn’t possible” that her boyfriend Casey Aldridge was the father. That was in fucking 2017, more than 10 years ago, there were rumors about this fucker being a predator and Viacom/Nickelodeon did N O T H I N G.
It’s been a recurring theme that the most abused actresses on the set of Zoey 101 were also Erin Sanders and Jeanette McCurdy. Sanders wasn’t originally supposed to be in the show, Schneider wrote the role of Quinn specifically for her after “auditioning” her. McCurdy found herself with a spin off show with Ariana Grande, who has been suspected to have also been also regularly abused on her show, Victorious, and was given a lot of sexualized scenes in her show, all of which can be seen in the above linked twitter thread (i’m not gonna go out of my way to find gifs of a 16 year old shimmying around while being sprayed with water or covering herself with water while lying down upside down off a bed).
weirdly, there are HARDLY any photos of Amanda Bynes and Schneider, despite Bynes’ breakdown in the 2010s being almost textbook examples of how victims of childhood sex abuse end up as adults. She allegedly suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (her mother claimed that her issues stemmed from smoking marijuana, and while I’m not a doctor, I think we can all agree that nobody acts so distressed after smoking some weed), and there are countless studies that draw comparisons between the onset of severe mental illness and childhood sex abuse, particularly schizophrenia.
In general, it’s no secret that child stars are introduced to a world far beyond their years and are often pressured by directors, producers, etc to just “join in” because it’s normal for them, and it’s how you make the “connections” necessary to join. Sure, speculation, hearsay, etc but we all know it’s fucking happening and we all know that the media world will jump through hoops to cover their own asses.
Supposedly even a Hollywood insider rumored to be Robert Downey Jr. went on record to talk about how much of a horrible person he was, and how Nickelodeon did NOTHING because of all the popular shows Schneider was making. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if NOW that he and Nick have cut ties his former victims come forward because now they know that he doesn’t have much leverage anymore and can’t hold anything over them.
