Embattled kids TV producer Dan Schneider is finally speaking out denying toxic workplace claims on Nickelodeon, which include "sexualizing" child actors. Schneider was a prolific kids TV producer behind several Nickelodeon hits like 'The Amanda Show' and 'All That' but has been at the center of allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate behavior involving underage stars and crewmembers on set; all of which was recently highlighted in Investigation Discovery's docuseries 'Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.'

I agree, things have gone way too far at Nickelodeon and it needs to end, starting with the court sentencing Dan Schneider to life in prison without parole because he harassed so many former Nickelodeon stars. Harassment is a felony and not to be taken lightly because when someone, whether a male or female says “No”, no means no and that’s that.

There's a lot of innocent folks working at Nickelodeon who need the job. Some folks who weren't even working there when Dan Schneider was there.

Well, it's odd. Dan Schneider, even as abusive as he was, he brought the best out of the child actors. I see this parallel even in football too. Urban Meyer had the best football teams and he was found out, in the NFL, to being very abusive with the players. So are they really bad people if they ended up turning out the best in people? If I were in Drake's shoes, I probably would NOT be cool with it; however, being a fan, I have to state that yes, these shows were all on point. Now, whether it was because these kids were "ready to go," I could not tell you; however, some magic had to happen or else these shows would not be as big as they were.
