I’m glad Quiet on Set is bringing peoples attention to the issues with Nickelodeon but what is very as is this isn’t completely new News. The documentary is successful in preventing the abusers and enablers from hiding and does allow for more stories and information to come out but this is after years of allegations and child stars stories being ignored. Many responsible parties have just been hoping the general public would fail to hear what has been said but there’s no hiding now.
Jennette McCurdy’s book spoke of a ‘creator’ who is allegedly Dan Schneider. And this is a photo of Alexa Nikolas protesting Nickelodeon in 2022 after Jennette’s book:

There are many stories of Nick stars being coerced to drink under age and people have been pointing out the inappropriate nature of certain scenes.
The documentary is amazing for getting the message out there but we need to acknowledge that since 2022 and prior to that Nickelodeon and other responsible parties filed to take action. People knew about Dan’s behaviour, some of the stories told were already public knowledge or speculated, they just didn’t do anything about it. They let him get away with it and made child stars suffer in silence
(This is just a quick post and if my point isn’t clear sorry I just hate that people speak like this is brand new info and not a long running issue that has been played down for a while now)
