Dan should be interviewed by an actual reporter who is willing to GRILL and EXPOSE this gross predator. Jail.
Totally agree with you
Gayle King. Or literally any reputable award-worthy journalist.
@@baxatakbaxatak2014 no. Not Gayle. He needs a not for profit non corporate reporter, like from public funded news cohort. No corporations.
My exact thoughts make his ass uncomfortable
@@Smithworks2 Good point. The point is, it should be a legitimate journalist.
The fact that Dan is letting one of his former employees interview him rather than a legitimate journalist is very telling. He wants to put on a show of holding himself accountable without letting go of any control he has over the narrative.
Yes E X A C T L Y !!!! Such a textbook narcissist move 😒 I really hope we get to see him truly held accountable and Nickelodeon go down in flames within the next couple years
he knows that any real interviewer would grill him, it's a true coward move
EXACTLY
👏👏👏👏
It was very calculated
His entire apology was basically “I’m sorry you felt that way”
My abuser told me I’m sorry I hurt your “feelings”
“I’m sorry you feel that way” is beyond toxic; it should be “I’m sorry I made you feel that way”
@@MichelleGissaraFor someone to damage and warp a child for their entire developing life for personal pleasure, is disgusting. No apology can ever make up for what happened to you. Especially one as pathetic as the one offered.
Stay strong ❤
Which is basically saying “fuck your feelings”
@@jimmyrustler8983 thank you x
I fully suspect that Amanda Bynes has the most to say that could be said about Dan Schneider. He is able to make these statements because he is fully confident that Amanda won't talk.
yes! this is not new information. it’s good that a doc has come out but if you look up deep dive, Sloan, and other YT channels they have had multiple videos on this topic. It is crazy! i remember amandas old twitter account and she would always tweet about Dan in cofe
I wonder why she won't talk tho?
@@kyliej222 I don't know. I wonder all the time. I feel like it couldn't be an NDA because NDAs can't apply to crimes from my understanding. I hope one day she tells her truth.
She could have been paid so by talking she could be sued. Especially if her parents took thousands of dollars of hush money
@ariadammons7069
I’m starting to think that Amanda accepted the hush money. That’s why she won’t speak out. People said she implied it via twitter and what not. Like in a “cry for help” kind of way. But the pressure to stay silent has prevented her for being upfront and straight about it.
Honestly, im willing to bet Dan contacted boogie, with a script .
@@Motivationallday876he’s not a minority he’s just black. So that Dan can use him to score points with the black community
@@3meleon I do think Dan wrote the script but regardless of what led to the video or who initiated contact Boogie is still a piece of shit for helping Dan try to redeem himself, such an insane and cruel move on his part
and money. Don't forget money
And a check.
The speed at which this interview is going is suspish. He's taking very little time to think about his responses to these questions which tells me it was scripted and rehearsed. These are serious accusations and trauma experiences that should be taking a lot of thought to cautiously answer yet he is just spewing this trash right out of his mouth.
The fake cry then immediately going back to talking normal made me so fucking uncomfortable. Everything about him is disgusting.
Edit: adding the timestamp so it's easier to find, but I'd rather yall watch the whole video. 40:25
I noticed that and got mad he’s trying to play the victim card
Nah fr😭😩 Them tears dried up a lil too quick for me
Faking emotions? Wow that’s crazy! It’s not like Dan’s in the entertainment industry or anything-
Wait a minute
@@durandelsg2895 what's your point?
@@unicorn420puke I’m agreeing with you. The dude is using position and skills that’s he’s gained in the entertainment industry to try to sway public opinion since he’s on full on damaged control mode.
I was making fun of the fact that someone who in the acting industry is trying to act their way out of this situations.
The abuser claiming that they are the real victim is a tale as old as time. Shame that he got away with this for so long.
I feel like Dan was bullied growing up and didn’t feel like girls liked him. So when he got a little bit of power he exploited and controlled every girl and woman that came into his life. He is sick
I was bullied growing up. Never had attention from girls in school, or my parents for that matter. Had fights almost every day in school.
I'd never make anyone feel the way I was made to feel. I'm no people pleaser, but I'm kind and courteous to everyone.
Dan's the antithesis of that, I've seen it happen to so many people. Hell, I've even had to work for people like him. The sad truth to it that shitty behaviour like theirs gets results in the form of dollars. We need to put a stop to it.
@Devonbroyles
I feel that way too. He resents kids and females b/c he was hurt and rejected by them (probably for being the “fat” awkward kid). In his twisted mind, he thinks all kids/girls should suffer like he suffered.
Still no excuse for his behavior though.
I also feel like this is why he acts like "one of the kids". He was probably never seen as cool so he would then try to hang out with all these kids, acting like one of them to feel popular, to be a part of the cool kids.
So you're mad at him for being a victim? 😭
He exploited everyone did you see the Drake Bell testimony Dan knew exactly what was going on with him and the other guy Peck I think his name was
“Sorry people didn’t like working with me but no one stopped meeeee” such a good apology. Good one dan. 🙄🙄
Sounds like something a 10 year old would say. “Oh no one stopped me and everyone else was doing it”.
he would’ve been just better off playing the ukulele like colleen ballinger for her apology🥴🥴💀
@@haleighelaine2596 fr nothing he said did ANY good
Bro had DECADES to apologize, he’s sorry he got caught.
He snapped at people sometimes...
Exactly he is just sorry he got caught and is now being called out . This interview man it just feels like a man trying to gaslight the entire situation and make it be about how he is the victim and how we should all feel bad for him and what he is going through. Like give me a break.
Exactly
That's not the point. The point is that he is responding to the things that are being said about him and taking somewhat of accountability for that. And there are MANY people who were involved in all this bullying behavior that were not even mentioned in the documentary.
How about the male writers in the writers room? Why didn't they ever try to report, defend, help or stop any of the treatment that was happening right in front of them to these 2 women????
caught doing what? he was mean? he told off color jokes, OH NO!!!
used a black dude to stave off the racism allegations but to also softball him questions on HIS platform
This is exactly it
REAL
T bo got a big bag from this for sure
Honestly, I feel like his apology is sincere. Ofc what he did was creepy. But people change. Don't lie. If you go on his last video on his channel, you see a Zoom reunion with the cast of Victorious. Every single person was there, even Ariana Grande. Idk why would they attend if they didn't like Dan. Maybe he paid them? But why would Ariana be there if people said she hated him.
Just think about that.
@@1saamor897 eww
I love how Dan's excuse for underpaying the two female writers is basically, "Well I underpaid my other writers too!" Freaking amazing...
I’m not defending Dan but he explained that when writers come into the business first time writers especially if there’s 2 people and only 1 available spot they’ll ask if they want to both work and split the salary giving both of them a chance
Ok that’s clearly not what Dan said. Dan said he had nothing to do the pay. So basically that’s “not what he said”
But in the doc she said that next season when she wasn't new anymore she would obly be paid for half a season and a new male writer would get full salary so it doesn't make sense
I worked in Hollywood. We all heard the rumors. Unfortunately they are all true. Dan is a horrible person who should be held accountable.
He will never take accountability, he’s an evil dictator whose obsessed with power. People like that don’t feel remorse until AFTER they get caught and get scolded by society.
His reputation will forever be tarnished for this. There’s no coming back from this. Regardless of him not apologizing, one can almost guarantee he will live a very lonely remainder of his life. Narcissistic people hate being called out, so being exposed is his worst nightmare, guaranteed.
My thing is, if it takes over 20 years to “apologize” he is not sorry. This is beyond disgusting.
He’s only sorry because it’s public. Sad
He’s not sorry he only said it because of the documentary
He really doesnt seem sorry.
@@eddierascalhaskell4954 he’s not
@@Diana45251 Yeah thats the point I was making...😐
5:01
“The fact that I participated in it”
You didn’t participate in it, you PERPETUATED it
Perpetuated AND initiated! what a champ /sarcastic
@@m8x8m and ORIGINATED!!! 😠
He wrote and directed it.
I thought that too!
He orchestrated it 🧟♂️
Dan found one of the few Nickelodeon actors who WEREN’T children while on the show to interview his ass 😂😂😂
Dang didn’t even think about that
El creador es un monstruo del mierda😤😡🤬🤢🤮
Not to mention he was essentially grooming a generation of people watching these shows, so more children and adults normalize these things they watched kids doing. It’s sick
I got so mad at the end when he said “there should be a therapist there to make sure the kid really wants to be on tv and understands what’s going to happen”. Are you kidding me? No child would expect to be subjected to sexual harassment on a TV show. It wasn’t never about the kids not actually wanting to be on TV, it’s about YOU manipulating children on YOUR tv show. He tried to make it sound like they should’ve expected what happened. Literally victim blaming.
I thought he might have been referencing McCurdy's book, she talked a lot about not wanting to act. It's 100%victim blaming.
The therapist is actually a good suggestion. For the reason he did mention were correct. Making sure they're comfortable with what they're doing, making sure they want to be there (very good in dealing with kids put in shows by stage parents), and that they understand how this could effect them for the rest of their lives.
you completely missed the point he made
For real. That comment is so unsettling because he is literally the reason why they need a therapist now. A therapist on set wouldn’t have protected them from his abuse??? 🤢🤬
@@lilbattybaby huh ? You don't think a therapist on set would be helpful? very odd thinking
Dan Schneider is a sociopath. How he casually switches from tears to just normal casually talking is actually terrifying
He reminds of adoptive dad from the Natalia Grace documentary. They all talk the same way.
To be fair, there were cuts in between. He started to well up as he was saying something, so they kept that in, but probably cut out the part where he calms himself down. They probably understood that keeping the crying in would be seen as manipulative (even though this whole thing is manipulative tbh) but if I was editing a video I would probably cut it the same way
@@KandyRenee Exactly but no one will listen to this. They want to be terrified of a sociopath in a highly edited video.
@LordRayken were coupling it with all of the distancing, manipulative and obfuscating language. Secondly…that bit does NOT appear to be “highly edited” or even chopped. At all.
@KandyRenee it doesn’t look highly edited. There’s one segment that switches cameras, and that’s about it. Prior to that cut, he’s already ceased the crying pretty quickly.
I noticed that comments are disabled on his video, so apparently he does not want to hear any criticism of his remarks.
I watched it, and I noticed how earnestly sincere he comes across throughout. He is also incredibly polished; he doesn't seem to be reaching for any words, or taking a few moments to process how he should respond to a question. It comes across as him knowing exactly what he he is going to say before he's even asked the question. For all we know, he wrote the questions himself. In other words, it reeks of being scripted.
And he's extremely selective of what issues he's willing to address. He repeatedly makes his pitch that, in essence, he was simply overworked and short-tempered, and he said and did some impertinent things, and that he owes some people some apologies (he hasn't even apologized to anyone in the years since his sacking?!?). But on the more serious allegations, the questions aren't even raised, so he isn't put in the uncomfortable position of having to provide any answers.
And as the executive producer, I find it very hard to believe he played no role whatsoever in what his staff people were paid. He did argue that it's supposedly perfectly normal in television for two writers to split one salary, and claimed that it happened multiple times in his writers' rooms. However, I've read recently that apparently that's not true, it is in fact very illegal. I should hope the SWG pursues this matter with both Schneider and Nickelodeon, and ensures that writers are properly and lawfully paid for their work.
The age old phrase. He's not sorry about what he did, he's just sorry he got caught
Him talking about being new and inexperienced to filmmaking as an excuse for sexual harassment and child predatory behaviour is WILD.
There is no evidence of Dan doing anything inappropriate with a child so don't spew misinformation
@@darkdarlingggyou’re either a troll or stupid. No inbetween.
@user-vw1do5hf7s No direct evidence, sure but these rumours about sketchy stuff have been floating around for at least a decade, if not more than a decade.
fun fact: there was never ONE mention of (or even reference to )the seggsual harassment allegations against him in that video. They did not even try to hide it with their scripted wording. how hilarious
@@darkdarlinggg we dont know, because somehow, la law enforcement allowed nick to do it's own investigation
The passive language he uses, "I'm sorry this happened" rather than "I'm sorry I did this," is so disgusting.
right like he didn’t actively make his choices
I noticed that too Passive words.. 😮
My perpetrator “apologised” in similar ways. Sorry I hurt your feelings and sorry for this and that but no actual apology for what actually happened.
Right!? "I'm sorry they felt that way" is a classic narcissistic reply.
@moonglaive
Just the simple fact that we didn’t get an apology from him until AFTER the documentary came out and he began getting exposed. A sincere apology wouldn’t have taken so many years let alone AFTER he got caught.
Alexa, you are an icon. Thank you for calling predators out so firmly. If more people get passion like this, the world will be a better place.
Licensed therapist should be there additionally overseeing the directors and production team to ensure they’re not doing psychological damage with predatory sexual behavior
I HATE how he tried to shift blame onto the parents for not bringing up concerns, when HE was the one that created that environment and made parents feel like they couldn’t bring up said concerns to him without facing repercussions.
I can’t decide if he didn’t watch the docuseries at all and/or he’s just trying to gaslight everyone about what happened. Like. We all saw those parents give their testimonies. One child was FIRED because his mom was raising too many questions, and that’s when the parents knew not to make waves. But sure. Blame the parents.
And to be fair, in some, probably most, cases the parents ARE disgusting scum (like Jennette McCurdy’s mother) but there WERE good, strong, loving, caring parents that were looking out for their children, and these predators pushed them out the way.
The parents who were concerned DID raise concern, and they were silenced.
I’m sorry , but both Dan, the parents, and the executives were exploiting kids. Even the women that were sharing the salary. They were writers ✍️ and knew the show was meant for kids. It all came down to money 💵 and exploitation. Being selfish! Put yourself in the parents shoes and if you saw with your own eyes what was happening why would you as a responsible and loving parent continue to let your child do sexually suggestive material for money. That’s crazy. They were the adults! They were in charge of the outcomes of their children’s well being. The moment Drakes dad saw that the people in charge did nothing to protect his son he should have put a restraining order or taken him out. There was absolutely no reason for him to continue to be around that man!
Bryan Hearne's mom didn't put up with the bs
He wouldn’t even let the parents on set but somehow they are supposed to come to him?
Exactly a true gaslighter
Why would you reach out for Dan. When victims are kids that are now adults.
This just seemed so scripted
I do believe that it's important to get all sides when researching something(because a lot of the time the abusers will expose themselves in interviews by changing their story and many other signs of lying or being guilty), but having a full blown interview with the abuser without even reaching out to the victims????? WHAT???
@@fallenbeethey keep exposing themselves everything will come to light
Because money duh.
Damn T-bo why did you agree to this
“Are you okay? You wanna take a minute?” 💀 I just found that line funny idk why
Literally like why the fuck would he need a minute😭
he’s so worried about people liking his shows, but he’s also the reason most kids were not allowed to watch his shows growing up. PAC.
His words are empty. He could've apologized years ago. He used kids for his fetishes. Kids who felt hurt by that will never get that back. No apology will undo that. And he disabled the comments. Spineless
Literally. Not to mention, he would get on twitter and ask kids to take pictures of their feet and the Sam&Cat twitter would reTweet them.
Yup he could’ve apologized when Jeanette wrote her book
@@MagicStove yes I remember reading some of them when I had Twitter at the time and they were very disturbing 😳
Pay attention to that subtle smirk @ 46:32 - 46:45. Then after he says it, he frowns and looks down as if it was a difficult thing to have to utter. This cre ep is absolutely sinister - I can see why he became a producer because he is a horrible actor.
Can’t believe the CEOs were too clueless to understand that bare feet are not funny. Honestly I don’t get why people think gross is funny true comedy should be pure and simple.
"wouldn't happen today" dude if he hadn't been exposed it would STILL BE HAPPENING TODAY
He was working on Nick until 2017. Then he wasn't completely fired, he was given loads of cash to walk away. If the internet wasn't talking about that foot stuff, he probably would be on Nick for far longer. Maybe not now in 2024, but I can almost guarantee Dan wouldn't have been asked to leave in 2017.
I agree. In fact it's happening now. Nickelodeon was only covered. Imagine what disney does.
Wouldn’t happen today because his ass got blacklisted lol
@@kitsorcerer it's sad but this sort of stuff is still happening today. I just meant HE SPECIFICALLY would still be doing this very behavior or worse by now if this hadn't come out. Predators are NEVER apologetic for WHAT they do. They're just scared when they get caught bc they KNOW they're in trouble. And do damage control to be able to somehow get back into a line of work where they can continue to prey on helpless people.
word up yo. It definitely would be. And still is to be very honest. Just because this is exposed, doesn't mean it will completely stop, unfortunately. Another Dan Schneider is already working.
Thank you so much for speaking out. I heard your story years ago and it broke my heart. My childhood was spent watching a lot of Nick. We looked up to you as kids. And we look up to you now for exposing all of this. ❤
I like how he was able to stop crying instantly
Lol, he should’ve stuck with acting instead of going onto writing. It takes true talent to make this crocodile tears look real. 😂
If Boogie had been the one to reach out to Dan, this wouldn't have been posted on Dan's youtube channel.
Boogie still had a choice tho
@@Poopiepies This. He chose to show that he aligns himself with a predator!
This the comment I was looking for, shit was all staged..
This is exactly what I was thinking. It feels so scripted. I wouldn't put it passed Dan to offer Boogie money to read a script that he wrote. Boogie is someone who most likely wasn't abused like other members of the cast so he wouldn't have first-hand experience with everything Dan did.
Huh ? that makes zero sense . Why couldn't he have posted it on his channel ?
bro a grown man massaging kids was just looked over??? It was a friend interviewing him, totally calculated and rehearsed. F Dan and Boogie
the comments are turned off in the original video
Boogie was also a full adult when the show was happening so what he say in my opinion doesn't matter as much as the children at the time because Dan targeted children. The children at the time are now adults, so ask them instead of the guys that was like "yeah my bad" about SA/SH.
HES INSANEN
I'm still stunted at a grown man allowing himself to be called "Boogie"...🤔
@@lockckey if boogie is tbo, I completely agree.. grown ass T-bo wasnt dealing with anything weird behind the scenes.
I personally wouldve wanted to speak with one of the writers that was on “quiet on set” or young females from my shows
Imagine getting SA’d by your father then going to work with someone who allegedly forced you to get an abortion to cover his crimes, then made a joke about it on air on the show
Amanda deserved better and I hope these revelations help her sleep better at night. You are a hero Amanda, a strong woman and surely will become a role model in what should be in children’s entertainment.
Dan basically says he wants to apologize... but never actually does. If he really meant it, he'd reach out to each and every person in the doc, and even those that weren't. He hasn't. He's already built his empire and he comes off as if he currently has no shame about anything he did. Cut the jokes out? The damage has already been done.
My heart absolutely breaks for Drake Bell and what he went through. I couldn't watch his interview without crying my eyes out. The fact that his father had his suspicions and it happened anyway, especially when he warned Drake's mother and she simply didn't listen... omg 😢💔 She failed her son, point blank. A year and 4 months is *NOT LONG ENOUGH* for what Brian Peck did to him!!!
I also cried when they found all the child porn and a child's undergarment in Jason Handy's house and what he wrote in his journal. Absolutely disgusting and horrifying.
And Boogie.... you say you can't speak on anyone's journey, but then you go and speak about Amanda? 🧐 If you can't speak on another's journey.... why are you conducting this interview? Why not go to the victims and ask them if they'd care to speak further about their journey? You literally praise Dan for the work he's done, including the success of the black actors. What about those black actors that were treated poorly and those that had to go to therapy? Screw them, right? Disgusting. You gave him the opportunity to paint himself in a better light. Dan and his fake tears played you like a fiddle and you don't even see it smh.
The *ONLY THING* I can agree with is suggesting a therapist on set. Some kids might not know how to tell their parents they don't feel comfortable, safe, or they're not interested in the industry. A therapist might be able to pick up on subtle body language clues and can tell when something is wrong. Kids need a lot more protection than that though... asking parents to leave the room while the adults speak to them is highly unacceptable. No minors should be left alone in a room full of adults. This whole thing makes me sick... especially when Brian got a job at Disney after all of this. What in the actual fk?? I'm officially *DONE* with Disney!
Hearing some of my favorite childhood celebrities defended a child predator is absolutely mind boggling to me. Seeing adults actually victim blame a *CHILD* and claiming the adult was the victim is in a whole different world of its own.
I've caught small glimpses of shows on Nickelodeon here and there and I just never understood what people saw in them. They simply weren't funny, imo.
I'm deeply sorry to each and every one of you that suffered at the hands of Dan Schneider, Brian Peck, Jason Handy, Cody Longo, Marty Weiss, and Ezell Channel.
Watching this doc and this interview was hard, I can't even imagine having to actually live through it. You all have my deepest sympathy and I wish you all nothing but healing and happiness.
Note how also through all his “apologies” he never once genuinely apologized to the female writers or for his misogyny. Women still aren’t worth that to him.
oh no Misogyny, oh my what a crime, making women feel inferior, TOUGH SHIT, grow some backbone and quit your job if you dont like your boss.
Bruh what misogyny like stop making shit up
@@LukeplaysTV did you even watch the quiet on set doc? Or are you just speaking out your ass
Oh yeah hence why a male former employee is interviewing him
No because remember "that never happened" 🙄 that's what he commented on QOS
the “jokes” were “funny to kids” because he added a laugh track and it was told to us that it was supposed to be funny
Did anyone actually laugh at those jokes... I knew I didn't as a baby...
Thank you! I remember thinking, "this is supposed to be funny.." ("So these uncomfortable feelings I am experiencing from watching these shows are just in my head.")
This part! I remember as a kid thinking some of the jokes were funny but not getting others, and just assuming it was because I wasn’t cool enough to get them. Assumed there was something wrong with me instead of assuming that maybe the jokes just weren’t great.
It was so creepy, teaching us that sexual innuendo towards 12 year olds was normal and funny.
even then, as a kid who was a SA victim, a LOT of the jokes and skits make me so uncomfy
I never thought the feet jokes were funny... I just thought it was funny to everyone but no to me. That maybe there was something that I didn't get... and sure there was.
Thank you for this Alexa!
I love your channel
@@CarolineStrunk-ld4ri thank you! Stay tuned for more music!
I just would like to say, I wanted to watch the interview so bad but I didn’t want to give him that view/money. I was waiting for someone to cover it that I wanted to support and I’m so happy to be here with you 💜
It's called minimising. it makes the complainants look like they've overreacted to something that was trivial. It's a tactic abusers use.
It’s the Joss Whedon method. “I have high standards. Not everyone has what it takes to work with me. Those who don’t make it big just want to find someone to blame.”
@@baxatakbaxatak2014 absolutely perfect example - textbook “look what you made me do” bs.
@@baxatakbaxatak2014That's just life tbh.
Some of the topics that was discussed was disturbing to hear but some of it did seem a little trivial at times.
It happens to me all the time by people who feel entitled to mentally abusing me. I call them hypocrites because they would hate if I were to do what they do to me. They expect me to be the bigger person or "else," but don't put any effort into being the bigger person ever.
The way Boogie talks is extremely robotic and disturbing. It’s like listening to a hostage.
Because he's delivering his lines. This is a manufactured interview and rehearsed
I wonder how much money it took him to ignore the sexualized teen girls
@@sammiekayfoxxprobably like 100k. Dan is a rich dude and t bo doesn't really look that morally integrate. More like a average dude who would do anything for a big bag. It's so obvious he got payed. He reached out to dan to do a interview on HIS channel? Yea sure. It was probably more like "I've got a job for you t bo"
@@sammiekayfoxx honestly what this got me thinking is that Boogie did something himself that he doesn’t want to get out and Dan is blackmailing him I just can’t see someone accept any amount of money to defend Dan right now. The two years this story has been all over social media and had only gotten more mainstream. I just can’t see anyone willing agreed basically portray themselves as a pedophile supporter no matter how much someone offer to pay. I mean yeah your may have money but you literally be seen as pedo for the rest of your life. Which will basically mean you can never leave your house or trust anyone every again. Because well everyone hates you.
Edited: Name Twinies
Chances are this is what we are witnessing. These people are protected.
I’m sure they didn’t think twice. All the elites are protected. We live in a sad world. My heart goes out to all the brave victims in this and everywhere. It needs to stop asap! But the best thing we all can do is to be aware. And I love that so many are waking up!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the work you do and this channel Alexa ❤
“We’re not some people and we’re not gonna be remembered as that” YES
Boogie had to been paid to do this. I like to say Dan should have gotten a journalist to interview him but I’m guessing he wanted to control the situation.
Exactly the problem will always be money
Boogie didn’t get paid , boogie is just on his side, they are both trash.
Typical Narcissist, gotta be in control of everything when it comes to maintaining other people’s perceptions of them! He had to get someone he could trust (ie someone he knows he has complete control over) in order to get the desired calculated outcome. If he hired a journalist, there’s a possibility there’s some pushback, some actual real questions and accountability. Doing it this way means he can give the air of having an honest conversation without actually saying anything.
It’s so so refreshing to see the comment section is full of people who see right through this bullshit.
Yeah I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say tbo is probably a creep too
Your name makes sense to that statement
It’s embarrassing for him because he’s a narcissist who got CAUGHT. He’s embarrassed he got CAUGHT. He’s embarrassed people are JUDGING him. He’s embarrassed people are thinking LESS of him. He’s not embarrassed because his actions are despicable and horrendous acts of abuse against women and CHILDREN. He’s embarrassed because of his EGO. He’s embarrassed for himself, and not his victims.
Thankyou for all of this !! And every single thing you addressed was so valid and what was needed to be said !!
Now that I've watched Quiet on Set (FINALLY!) I will be binging all your videos because I want to hear ALL your thoughts on everything.
Sending lots of love 🫶🏼
The fact that he’s boiling the whole thing down to “I wasn’t very nice 😢” is SO infuriating.
I guess it is if he didn’t do anything illegal
The entire interview feels rehearsed, avoids actual confrontation and sweeps accucations under the rug without explaining what you did exactly.
The amount of money that’s behind him… oh without a doubt
Literally he just wants it to go away he doesn’t feel bad if I was a victim watching this I probably would’ve broke my tv unbelievable smh
He’s blaming it on being inexperienced bro you did this for 20 years 😂🤦🏾♂️ what does this have to do with you having kids doing inappropriate things ? Sick just sick 🤦🏾♂️
15:45 “let’s cut those jokes out of the show, just like I would’ve done 20-25yrs ago”
Daniela Monet who played Trina Vega on Victorious was so uncomfortable with a scene she’d done and asked them to cut it and he said no😐
Love the Sickelodeon merch! Where did you get the balloon? You should sell those.
That interview seems scripted
I was thinking the same thing
It’s like Schneider is reciting from memory
Bought & paid for sell out
That whole thing was scripted and it didn’t come from the heart.
@@bkopgamer It legit comes off as Jason Nash defending David Dobrik for hurting Jeff in the podcast
It's not wrong to interview Dan, what's wrong is softballing questions and enabling his self victimization.
yeah that pissed me off, he very specifically skipped over very memorable parts of the documentary
You GUYS are going to blow up…. Your channel has everything
off the bat, choosing boogie (a formerly beloved and recognizable character from a child’s show) for his interview was strategically manipulative. I think there’s also something very manipulative in the way he apologizes to everyone around the set he may have made uncomfortable and makes a point to emphasize there were many other adults around watching. it’s feels like he’s trying to spread the blame and also point the finger off himself. the blame falls on many people
He "reached out to Dan to see IF he wanted to talk about it" yet it's on Dan's channel. This is definitely to save face and I'm sure this guy was paid off. The way Dan said he couldn't "believe" Brian peck went to work for Disney after was funny because he knew exactly how. If you have connections, you can go anywhere and he knows that very well. Also, comments were off for a reason.
He didn't know how? He disliked Brian Peck and did not write a letter of support for him like 50 other actors did.
@@LordRaykenAre you Dan Schneider?
@@rhonda1279 i mean Drake bell even said Dan was supportive to him during that time🤷♂️
@@CompWin7Helper Actually sounded like Dan called Drake to do damage control and after Brian Peck was removed from the show, he provided minimal support to the remaining cast members. I'd hardly call his actions supportive, or look past all of his other actions to give any credit for the "support" of one of his cash cows.
@@CompWin7Helperfunny how a predator was “supportive” of a victim. I bet Dan pretended to be just to save his own hide, but Drake never did mention Dan being on his side of the courtroom
the fact that he said i owe these people "a pretty big apology" and wanted to call and reach out but didnt screams VOLUMES for who this man is and continues to be.
been waiting to watch this :)
Lol I maybe 3 minutes of that interview and said nope, saw yours underneath and knew I had to watch
Alexa you are a force of nature. Hearing you speak makes me want to grab a flag and go protest in the streets. You have an unmatched drive for justice and tolerate ZERO bullshit. I just admire you so much.
And she’s been advocating for years! She’s always said what she could
@@lisahspears3351 Seriously. From that first day Britney got in her face until today, she’s been a warrior. Love her spirit.
The reason why Dan schneider started to apologize because he got caught and everybody knows it.
And he knows it’s wrong and is trying to save his reputation when there’s nothing he can do about it. It’s over he’s been exposed now he’s playing the victim card
This interview was literally just so he can try to manipulate people and get his “heart felt apology “ out in the open. This interview just screams “im a creep pedophile and i got away with what i was doing until now” hes not sorry for what he did. He’s sorry he got caught up. Nobody was thinking about the future and the internet back then. This has been crazy to hear seeing as i grew up watching the earlier years of Nickelodeon.
YES! I wish I knew about this sooner.
They are READING A SCRIPT. It's so clear. I'm disgusted
him having the audacity to fake cry about what happened to drake.. like let’s not forget Amanda Bynes’s tweets about how she was FORCED TO GET AN ABORTION AT 13 CUZ HE SA’D HER?!
what? that’s just pure evil, oh my days
Omg didn't know about the Amanda having an abortion due to being effectively r_ _ _ _ by him.
We’re alw
Omg he what
those tweets were from a fake Twitter account that the official Amanda bynes account literally said was fake
Thank you sooo much for speaking out in real time during his defunct interview.. I honestly loved your character back then for being a bad ass (I feel like it wasn't really a joke- you were fed up perhaps? Heh) and you are still keeping it up! ❣️Speak that truth and I understand being manipulated and was spared that life in the beginning. I started as a model at 5.. I lasted like 2 years, but personally I know that "Power dynamic" that people have over the Ignorant of that type of field.. It also happens in almost every field I worked. But was too scared to speak up.. I appreciate your podcast. Thank you for speaking out! I can only imagine the repercussions of speaking out against someone in "power" nowadays... You have my support! 👏👏🙏🙌❤
He’s the perfect example of only apologizing because he was caught.
the fbi needs to investigate every single one of dan’s computers
"Apologizing" my ASS after decades and two different internal investigations, an official firing, and a fucking documentary exposing his bs. That's not "sorry" that's "sorry I got caught"
Not even sorry he got caught. Sorry he got exposed.
Just came out that he's suing Quiet On Set for defamation. Which only shows that he's NOT sorry and will take no real accountability unless the cameras are pointed at him.
It's interesting how one of the first singles that Ariana put out after Victorious ended (Feb 2, 2013) was Break Free (lyrics video Jul 2, 2014), and then on Feb 6, 2015, she released One Last Time (lyrics video), and featured Matt Bennett, who played Robbie, in the actual music video which was released 10 days later (Feb 16, 2015)......... I might be reading too much into it tho, but like.... idk://
I just want to give a shoutout to you and Jeanette for busting this story wide open. You guys gave a lot of other people the opportunity to tell their stories. You know they had an article saying you left Zoey 101 because you and Jamie didn't get along back when it happened? Even IF you didn't, that's NOT WHY you left. They are masters of shifting the blame.
I remember that as well! I remember growing up thinking that was the reason Alexa left when the truth was so awful what was really happening
Why did she oeave the show!?!?!?
Jeanette rules! This white lady sounds scorned from Schneider being mean to her. I think Jeanette is really articulate and mature but this future Karen just sounds like vapid child regurgitating from podcasts she listened to about accountability
I guess Schneider didn’t commit any crimes, but a meanie who butt hurt this white lady
@MissyWebb12 because the whole production team was awful lmfao did you watch the documentary, she said she was crying before almost every shoot
Chris Hanson would have been the best choice for an interviewer.
"Come on, take a seat" haha
What for. He's not a predator
@@AKeyearea8 They meant Chris as an interviewer for Dan.
OMGGG YESS LMAO
@SilverFeatherr yeah like I said he's not a pedo
"If I would have known back then, I would have changed it."
You always knew what you were doing, Dan. You literally (as told in the docu-series) told ALL of the parents from the child actors and actresses to LEAVE the room to barely and briefly adress the former employee who r*ped and s*domized a CURRENT child actor you were working with in order to not get sued/be held responsible for child endangerment by them. You knowingly SEPARATED children from their legal guardians, the ONLY ones who could (and you knew potentially WOULD, have they known) protect and remove them from that enviroment, JUST TO CONTINUE THE SHOW. A child can't emotionally take that information like an adult could. A child can't proceed to take action in that situation. THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS needed to be primarily informed of that, and you deliberately withheld that from them. They only knew because of rumours and then the news. And guess what? Not only did it happen that time, but it did again. AND THEN AGAIN. 3 child predat*rs on the set, guess what (who) the common denominator is here!
But yeah, pressuring a female coworker to scream "I'M A SL*T!" in a room full of people by threatening to put her job on the line if not totally comes out of naiveness of being a boss for the first time! You didn't know! Oopsie!
I was in an abusive, neglected situation when I was a child. I resonate with you so much.❤
He’s embarrassed that so many survivors are speaking out, that he can no longer sweep things under the rug / pay things away / intimidate people - he’s embarrassed he has to speak about this, and embarrassed that it’s on camera! What a narcissistic response from somebody who harmed people - including children! - for decades.
Man started crying and there wasn't a single tear
6:33 I just wanna mention that as an interviewer he has to be very careful to not constantly attack Dan because the goal is for Dan to spill the beans or as much as possible so for the interviewer to “down play” Dans actions it’s actually a smart tactic to trick Dan into thinking he’s actually on “his side” cuz no one wants to talk / be interviewed by someone who’s just attacking. They’re not gonna open up or say anything important so he has to pretend to be on Dans side. I highly recommend people watch “The behavioural analysis” take on this cuz he explains everything beautifully 😊
I love people able to share the opinions.
He’s so good at minimizing everything it’s scary
literally omg😖
i was falling for it a little. but the truth defeats that. GASLIGHTING B*STARD
I wonder if he even knows when he's being toxic.
A textbook narcissist and manipulator
Not a glimpse of remorse in his eyes. Not even a slight glimmer. He is not sorry for his actions! He is sorry because he has been exposed for what he really is!
I'm So Sorry For Everything That You Went Through.
I wouldn't know whether or not Dan is a changed person but I like Alexa Nikolas, she's very spunky.
he really thought to himself "shit I haven't cried over anything yet, this seems like an appropriate moment"
So let me get this straight a grown ass man who’s been abusing kids for years and years under a television program that claims to think about the children is getting special treatment when he’s not the one that is the victim in the first place as he spent more time with these kids than the parents that were supposed to be there to protect them. Alexa I’m very sorry for what you and the other child stars had to endure and put up with.
I was on a tv show set as a kid in 2004 and we had a therapist that was very insistent in talking to every kid very often. I even ran from them once because I didn’t understand what they were. 😂
Love this video! Thank you for making it. Therapist in grad school here, I have a lot to learn and also wanted to give some insight on legality of what Therapists can and can't say to others about sessions. Unless the child is currently causing themselves or others harm we are very limited on telling someone about abuse. I agree that mental health professionals should be on the set as a neutral resource with as little bias as possible to allow for expression of feelings. AND a 3rd party advocate hired to make executives aware of the situation. That way, in the case of Dan, if people were coming in on set to check-in on the behavior, he would have no idea.
Why did Dan tried to downplay all his past actions as embarrassing mistakes? He had teenagers in bikinis, young girls playing with their feet, and so much more. THOSE WERE CRIMES!!
Just to be clear - girls playing with their feet isn't a "CRIME". It's creepy af and sickening, but not a crime.
Honestly not all those things are crimes in themselves or toddlers and Tiaras and dance moms wouldn’t air.
Dan was just a writer. Every detail of his work had to be approved by several before any kids acted or it went into the show. And NONE of those skits were criminal. Not to mention their parents on set that let their children do the skits
teenagers in bikinis is a crime? what world do you live in?
@@uncledeadhead3674yeah idek these people just hate dan
Girl you are so on top of this. I give you so much credit and respect for pushing out the content and being vulnerable in your reactions. This is so important!! No more hiding, no more silence.
My girl read the shit out of this in the most insightful way possible. I appreciate this video ❤
Honesty this was a good interview to expose where his mindset is at currently. If there was someone grilling him he’d be way more guarded. This was easy to see through!
Like this video was us watching you be triggered for 50 minutes. I feel like you’re too close to the situation to look at it from different angles. DAN WAS WRONG. But there are many ways to expose someone
So, my question is… if Dan was supportive of Drake and his family, why didn’t he sit on Drake’s side of the courtroom? Genuinely curious.
He couldn’t have Brian see him supporting drake
If I remember correctly Drake said he told Dan after the trial was over.
He said that he helped his mom with her speech to the judge because she wasn't so called as good with words as he was 😡
theres no such thing as sides in a courtroom, just a fyi for that case seats were assigned by who is a witness and who is not.
Him supporting Drake to begin with was only self preservation and damage control. He had to be quick to paint himself the good guy to who mattered the most. But he is probably very adept at having his cake and eating it too.
We finally know who is the real dirty dan.
Dan Schindler can be dirty dan, I just want to be SpongeBob and Patrick
@@josephtafurmore like Dan DIDLER
A textbook "Me-Me-Me" Narcissist. "I'm embarrassed", "I was snarky", He obviously created (CREATED) A platform for himself. He is so arrogant, that he obviously didn't hire a publicist to help with his cleanup. There is not one apology offered here because he backs each apology with an excuse, veiled as admission. There isn't even any admission here because he does not acknowledge the severity, instead, he downgrades the experiences as "jokes gone too far", "The jokes were not inappropriate 20 years ago." "It's the higher-ups fault (not mine) because they approved it." etc... This is a sick train wreck. YUCK.
Alexa, You EATS DOWN. i love your boldness, your hungry, your energy and you’re devotion to making things right! you stand up for for us in ALL WAYS. as an SA survivor, what dan did and is still doing is SICK.
The rage in you is so satisfying because your sense of justice is on the mark
Her sense of justice is extremely off the mark. She continuously derails the conversation about abuse to generalize and demonize white males despite the fact that the biggest victim of this entire ordeal was a white male. By doing so she's opened the discussion up to being a battleground for a culture war because she feels the need to espouse blatant racism and sexism with victim's accounts. Imagine how damaging it would be to hear, after being sexually abused at a young age, that you are inherently part of the problem because you have white skin and XY chromosomes. I can personally speak from experience. She is jeopardizing victim's by derailing their accounts just so she can take cheap shots at white men.
I’m not 6 min in and the fact that he brings up how embarrassed he is more than anything else tells me everything I need to know.
he should be ashamed and appalled, not ‘embarrassed’ ??!?!
@@eller594 right like he’s making it about him and his feelings about the situation rather than focusing on the impact his behavior and choices had on others!!
He's only sorry he was exposed.
After he was released you can see brian peck sitting next to one kid that wrote a letter to him when amanda accepted an award at kids choice awards
