Dan Schneider created and wrote Zoey 101, All That, Victorious, iCarly, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, and What I Like About You.
Schneider has also been the subject of some very disturbing and consistent
rumors for years.
One need only search his name on the internet to find damning
rumors about him going back years. There are
stories of his foot fetishes and how he acts them out on young extras alone in his office.
There are
stories about his relationships with underage stars and how they led to spin-off shows for some young girls or blacklisting for those who didn’t participate.
Sure, these are all
rumors and
conjecture right now, but so were the Weinstein
rumors. It is important to look at this issue as one aspect of a much larger problem.
Recently Nickelodeon fired “The Loud House” showrunner Chris Savino after
allegations of his sexual harassment of female colleagues surfaced. Almost a dozen women have come forward with
accusations, and Savino has since issued a statement of admission and apology.
Two years ago a documentary on Hollywood pedophilia (An Open Secret) told the harrowing story of convicted pedophiles who are still working in Hollywood.
They covered the story of Brian Peck, a producer/actor who pleaded guilty to child molestation back in 2004, served a quarter of his sentence and went back to work at Nickelodeon.
The charge was brought against him by a child actor on one of his Nickelodeon shows. The actor remained anonymous and managed to keep working, despite the very rare victory of seeing his Tinsel Town abuser imprisoned.
Brian Peck is a good friend of director Brian Singer, who has also been accused over the years of pedophilia and sexual harassment.
Peck still works in the industry to this day.
