Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider released a video interview with a former 'iCarly' cast member to address claims made against in the docuseries 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.'
Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider is responding to the claims made against him in the new documentary series 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.' In a video obtained by Fox News Digital, Schneider sits down with BooG!e, an actor who appeared on 'iCarly' and worked with Schneider, for an interview. 'Watching over the past two nights was very difficult. Me facing my past behaviors, some of which are embarrassing and that I regret.
Now that Drake Bell has disclosed his identity as the plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are dismayed and saddened to learn of the trauma he has endured, and we commend and support the strength required to come forward,' the statement said. 'When Drake and I talked and he told me what happened, I was more devastated by that than anything that ever happened to me in my career thus far.
Regarding the pay disparity claims by 'The Amanda Show' writers Christy Stratton and Jenny Kilgen, Schneider stated he was not in charge of writer’s’ salaries and that it is common practice for two first-time writers to split the salary of one. 'In this case, it was two women writers' Schneider said, and explained it’s also happened to teams of men and a man/woman team on other projects.
Every one of those jokes was written for a kids’ audience because kids thought they were funny, and only funny. Now, we have some adults looking back at them 20 years later through their lens, and they’re looking at them, and they’re saying, ‘That’s inappropriate for a kids show,’' he said. He continued, 'And I have no problem with that if that’s how anyone feels. Let’s cut those jokes out of the show. Just like I would have done 20 years ago or 25 years ago, I cut it.
