Amy Berg, former assistant to Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider, said he was a 'psychological tormentor' when she worked for him.
Berg, who served as Schneider’s assistant for less than a year, called the Nickelodeon writer and producer a “fucking asshole” and “psychological tormentor” on Monday in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter. Berg alleges Schneider brought on her “panic attacks” and led her to develop a “significant heart arrhythmia,” or irregular heartbeat.
“I eventually had surgery to correct the issue, but by that point I’d lost all of my 20s,” Berg wrote. “He stole those years from me.”, added in her statement that although the stressful experience didn’t affected her career, her personal life took a tailspin. “I became a shut-in due to the fear of having a medical crisis away from home. I was unable to cultivate relationships or nurture friendships,” Berg wrote. “And to this day, I carry with me an anxiety disorder that fierce rears its head when faced with other manipulators. Fortunately, I’ve only twice been in bad situations in my career where this trauma was reignited.”— Part One was released over the weekend — viewers see a different side to the slapstick, prank-filled comedies on Nickelodeon.
“I’ve no interest in reliving anything, nor do I want to be in a situation where I’d feel inclined to defend Dan in any way,” Berg wrote.Bill Maher Fires CAA After Oscar Party Snub Stephen Colbert Says CBS Asked Him Not to Show Kristen Stewart's Rolling Stone Cover; Stewart Says 'F--- You' to the Homophobic HatersMojo Nixon’s Annual SXSW Party Goes on Without Him, as a Last Testimonial to the Rocker-DJ’s Wild Mayhem
