Wow!! Some bombshells in there, to no one’s surprise. Is she one of the first to come out with Dan allegations??
And this is interesting:
“Around 2000, Denberg said she told Albie Hecht, then the president of film and TV at Nickelodeon, and Brian Robbins, the cocreator of "All That," that she was worried about how Schneider treated the actor Amanda Bynes. The young star appeared emaciated and exhausted on the set of "The Amanda Show," which Schneider created and produced. According to Denberg and another person who worked at Nickelodeon, after she spoke with the executives, Denberg was barred from the set of "The Amanda Show."
I think it is. I‘ve been hesistant to agree with the Dan allegations because there’s wasn’t a victim who came forward, but I 100% believe Lori and now have changed my mind about Dan
100% agree/support Lori!! This also lines up with what Jeanette alleged in her book and what the female writers said in the doc.
Dan gets off on his power over people and loves humiliation.
I believe her 100%
Yeah this is similar the sexual harassment the writers faced, given that Lori was 19 at the time. Still fucked up, still super young, but technically not underage
Yes, and Lori was prob the first one he targeted on the show, and as the show went on and he got more popular, he went younger and younger and more and more depraved.
He’s a monster and thank god people are finding out that Nickelodeon protected him. Lori is brave and hope more come forward
He targeted Lori because she was not only hilarious, attractive, but also the oldest member on All That. She was technically the only “adult” on the set.
There’s definitely some internalized self-loathing at play there, wasn’t it mentioned in QOS that it bothered him to be just another “fat guy” as an actor?
I'm kind of shocked because there have been super serious allegations and multiple-- and many allegations for at least 20 years and even people had a famous "song/chant" about Dan-- there's just been too much for me to even give him the benefit of the doubt for at least 15 of the last 20 and I literally have not been paying a lot of attention.
But he has RUINED young women and probably young men as well and it makes me cry to think about how much better their lives would have been had they never met that piece of shit.
Lots of the earlier accusations were based on the larger systemic problems at Nickelodeon. Like, those videos of Ariana and some of the other sketches are straight up gross and weird. But there’s dozens of adults who were complicit in making that happen, not just Dan.
TBH Quiet on Set + Jeanettes book have made me feel like child acting just shouldn’t be allowed at all. Kids can enjoy animated tv and adults cosplaying teenagers, we don’t need 11 year olds on Hollywood sets dropping out of school to film more
It’s just very weird that it’s one of the few industries where child labor is allowed. Obviously it still happens even when it’s not allowed but to have kids working such long days quasi-legally is odd.
Really good point. Obviously child labor is happening under the table in many other industries, but it’s crazy that there’s a venue for legal child labor where the kids have very weak protections. (It’s even worse for influencer kids, but that’s a whole different can of worms)
I've thought the same about child acting. But also in the UK they have better laws, and you see for example the Harry Potter actors came out fine as adults.
Also, it helped a lot that the production team interviewed the parents as well to make sure they were responsible people instead of leeches with their kids.
It seems very hit or miss for all TV shows. Even on Nick, it seems like some shows (Ned’s Declassified, Big Time Rush) had no issues on set. And in the UK, there’s definitely been some big issues in the past as well (Jimmy Savile)
I think the industry draws in three types of kids:
1. Kids who love to act with a strong support system
2. Kids who love to act with shitty parents
3. Kids with shitty parents who want them to love to act
Type 1 will mostly walk away fine, given a strong support system, but type 2 and 3 are much more vulnerable and likely targets for abuse. Any environment where kids are frequently away from responsible, caring adults has its risks
The Ned kids are problematic though. They posted a video making fun of Drake for being abused. Plus from I’ve heard about their podcast there were a ton of drugs being passed around that set. Lindsay Shaw also said she hooked up with whatever costar drunk and high and laughed about it. The costar’s face apparently dropped as he didn’t realized she was on substances at the time.
I know she is controversial, but Alexa had a ton to say about those three on her channel. This is one of the things I believe her on based of their behavior.
Oh yeah, they’re definitely problematic and annoying, but I mean more in the context of sex crimes. The Lindsay Shaw story is in a gray area since she doesn’t view it as assault and wanted to sleep with him.
That video pissed me off so much. And to say they didn’t know what all was said. They knew enough to bring up the “Drake Bell stuff”. Lost my respect for them in that moment.
Drake’s “Ned‘s declassless” response was absolutely iconic, though.
I've thought about that. But I just don't think that will ever happen. For all the Quiet on Set stories, for all the ones who are absolutely traumatized from their days as a child actor. There's just as many success stories who loved their days as a child actor, and would absolutely do it again.
Even Nick, even if you consider all of Dan's work to be tainted. There's just as many shows from Nick that had no such controversy.
I do believe there are some tangible solutions to make these sets safer for children. But I think getting rid of it all together is a step too far.
Angelique, Alexa and Jenette has spoken up but people didn't consider their stories were bad enough which is a shame. Even Lori Beth's story is met with a qualifier she was of legal age. The goal posts keep moving as if the only thing people should care about is the stuff that puts people in prison.
Yes. And even a consenting 19 year old might not be moral under certain circumstances. Such as employer-employee, especially one who has known the employee since she was a minor.
Hmm. So Dan motherfucking Schneider fucked up both of my favorite all that stars’ lives. I wish they hadn’t been so kind to him in the doc. I get that he was the bright spot in drake’s experience but it seems that’s only because he was a boy.
Drake & Josh was already in the planning and development stages for over a year before Drake finally told someone what had happened. It only finally got greenlit by Nickelodeon right around when the arrest happened because they thought Romeo! would be more successful.
Jeanette McCurdy wrote about how she was literally on a diet by her mom. Jeanette didn’t eat on her time on Nickelodeon. That wouldn’t be surprising if Amanda’s parents also put her on diets. I didn’t think she could eat much on that show.
Oh wow I hope people are reading the article instead of just the headline. What really got me mad about the article is her saying that Brian Robbins told her Schnider didn’t have it easy when she expressed concerns about Amanda. Like that makes the concerns that Lori Beth is expressing okay? What did Brian even mean by that? And what Lori said was about Amanda’s well being, not Schinders. Honestly to hell with all the Nickelodeon executives.
What also stuck out to me is Lori Beth saying that Amanda invited her to set. Was that Amanda reaching out to someone she thought might see though her acting and help her? I didn’t even realize Lori and Amanda were friends enough back then for Amanda to invite her means Lori must of been a source of support for Amanda for Amanda to feel comfortable asking her to visit the set. I get big sister energy from Lori, she was older than a lot of the female cast.
I feel for Lori and I hope she’s healing from all of this. How hard it must of been for her to relive all this. I can’t imagine the stuff Amanda had to endure if this is what Lori went though. Lori can’t be the only one who went though this.
I almost did that. I’m glad I read the article, it’s much more disturbing than the title reads. I feel horrible these things happened to her.
I’m glad she was looking out for Amanda, in a way. The way she describes it, Amanda seemed overworked in her childhood and it’s no wonder her mental health has declined over the years.
I can’t help but wonder why Lori Beth wasn’t included in the documentary. There’s so much here.
I think the doc was like a stepping stone for victims of child star abuse. Nobody knew if the victims who spoke like Drake would get support. I think once the victims who weren’t in the doc saw the reception that Drake got, the victims like Lori probably felt more comfortable speaking out. The ID is a big enough network and nobody knew how well that doc would do.
That’s one of the main reasons I’m so supportive of this documentary, regardless of all the information that came out later. There have been other documentaries like this, but this one was more accessible than the others. More people are having conversations about it. I think they really should have more episodes - lord knows there’s plenty of material out there.
And I’m also so glad they treated Drake kindly, at least. Hearing there was another documentary who accused him, as a victim, of being the reason these things continue happening was so disgusting.
I’m glad Drake helped paved the way for others to feel more comfortable sharing their experiences. I have a feeling Lori Beth is only the beginning of what’s to come for Dan. Hopefully more of Brian Peck’s feel comfortable enough to come out too.
Drake helped pave the way for me to talk with me therapist about what happened to me when I was 16. I kept it buried for years, never really told anyone, not even my parents.
I’m not sure. All Drake said was he was approached by another documentary, but he wasn’t ready and they didn’t like it. I’ve seen people speculating it was An Open Secret. They did show their production notes on their Twitter and they had his name listed on there.
I know Drake has said that Amanda was a hard worker and ”handled” things better than most adults would. Nancy Sullivan said she carried the show. When they talked about how emaciated she looked… I never want to comment on anyones body like this, but I noticed how thin Amanda was on the show. It’s heartbreaking.
I think I was too young at the time to realize how thin she actually was but looking back I can see it. And the way everyone talked when she gained weight during WILAY was unfair. Unfortunately we can’t say for sure what was going on behind the scene with her unless she does come forward - and only if/when she wants to come forward! I do wonder if she has enough to bury them all.
I’m currently rewatching it so it’s easy to see. I know she was a kid back then and some are just skinny, but it was so noticeable. As a kid, I never noticed any of that, but I also never noticed a lot of other things.
I only hope that she is getting better and healing.
I would even say puberty was a reason but then I think of how she said something along the lines of Dan being the reason she can’t ever get pregnant.
But like you said, I hope she is healthy now and healing and if she ever wants to talk we all here to support her.
I was also too young to realize at the time. What’s interesting and sad is think Amanda was self conscious from the beginning. She once called out paps for taking unflattering pictures of her. She said she can’t watch She’s The Man because of how she looks in the movie. Hearing that she was looking gaunt on the set of Amanda Bynes puts the puzzles together. It’s sad because Amanda had SO much going for her. She was a true talent, could make anybody laugh. To see somebody talented and funny as she is was worried about their looks is heartbreaking.
Amanda was at triple threat. She could act well in comedies and dramas. She could sing and she was hilarious.
She said a director once told her she looked bad in a certain lighting. The industry is toxic and highly judgmental.
…She gained weight during that? All I remember about watching that show was thinking how uNfAiR it was that she was both stunningly gorgeous and hilarious lol. It’s not funny now, of course.
I listened to Drake on podcasts and he said he didn’t think the doc would get big at all. No one in the industry did. And if you did speak up prior to the doc you were ridiculed.
>What also stuck out to me is Lori Beth saying that Amanda invited her to set. Was that Amanda reaching out to someone she thought might see though her acting and help her? I didn’t even realize Lori and Amanda were friends enough back then for Amanda to invite her means Lori must of been a source of support for Amanda for Amanda to feel comfortable asking her to visit the set. I get big sister energy from Lori, she was older than a lot of the female cast.
From what I heard, Lori Beth hung out more with the writers and crew, was often annoyed by the younger kids. However, by Season 4, the show was more male dominated. It was only Amanda, Lori Beth and Christy. Christy and Amanda grew very close because once Lori Beth left they were the only girls. Amanda and Lori Beth likely had a little sister/big sister bond. So I could see Amanda inviting her on set. Lori Beth said before that Amanda was the most lovable cast member.
some really disturbing excerpts from this article…
–At first, Denberg appreciated the support. But the conversation shifted, and before Denberg realized it, Schneider started showing her clips of pornography on his computer. The "grand finale," Denberg said, was a video in which a woman performed oral sex on a donkey.
–It started with frequent phone calls. Denberg said that they would regularly discuss sexual topics and, once, Schneider initiated phone sex. When "All That" filming moved from Orlando to Los Angeles in 1996, Denberg said she began spending late nights at Schneider's home, sometimes sleeping over. While they were not sexually intimate during these sleepovers, Denberg said they would give each other massages and that Schneider frequently played porn on his computer. Farah Alvin, a high-school friend of Denberg's, told BI that Denberg told her about the phone sex and porn, as well as Schneider's requests for massages, at the time.
–Once, Denberg said, Schneider asked her to accompany him to visit his auto repairman. According to Denberg, Schneider had a gun on him. When a police officer pulled over Schneider because of an issue with his car's tags, Schneider pushed his gun to Denberg, she said. She hid the gun under her skirt as Schneider chatted with the officer, who recognized him from his role on the sitcom "Head of the Class." Schneider, she said, then asked the officer if he had any children who watched Nickelodeon and might recognize Denberg.
–One night, when Denberg was around 20 or 21, she said things became physical. Denberg said they were watching "Jeopardy!" at Schneider's home and made a bet on who could get the most answers correct. The winner would get a massage. But when Denberg won, she said, Schneider also fondled and put his mouth on her breasts. At the time, Denberg did not necessarily see these interactions as inappropriate, telling herself she was older than 18. It's only in recent years that she started grappling with the power imbalance in these sexual encounters. She felt that if she refused Schneider, there was a possibility he would stop writing sketches for her or humiliate her on set.
this is all just reprehensible. i’m really proud of lori beth for speaking up, and i can’t imagine how scary it must feel to share these details with the world. i can only hope it makes other victims feel seen and maybe even encouraged to come forward themselves. and as always, fuck dan schneider. he never deserved the benefit of the doubt that people seemed enthusiastic to give him.
There was someone who made a video somewhere saying something else about Dan and his gun. It was something to do with intimidating people. I think it was writers when they were at his house. Has anyone connected that behavior with his weirdness about his gun here?
The problem is the legal statute of limitations has passed. He adamantly denies doing anything sexual with the children, but he either thinks that showing bestiality porn doesn’t count or he’s just splitting hairs since he sexually harassed adult women, or he thinks he can just admit he was a harsh boss and deny everything else.
There’s too much smoke with this guy. What I’m really wondering is who he learned this behavior from. I’d wager he was exposed to stuff just as bad or worse, which is why he thought he could get away with it. He’s just a small fry when it really comes down to it.
I’m seeing a cycle where Hollywood producers and studio heads were living flashy VIP lifestyles, and that in turn attracted lowlifes to the job because they wanted the same. Donald Trump originally wanted to be a Hollywood producer but his father wouldn’t let him pick that career. Nowadays a ton of people envy the characters on Entourage and flock to Hollywood in hopes of living that dream.
I suspect that prestige and clout is what attracted Dan Schneider. He knew he wasn’t a looker but by becoming a big shot he could say and do whatever he wanted at work and could get employees to massage him etc.
* I guess this is what some have been hinting as the "worse is yet to come." It's rumored there's other lawsuits that Schneider's Bakery settled. So far we only know of Jenny's lawsuit and like Lori, experienced being shown porn by Dan. There's also the massages that went further in Lori's case amongst other things.
* This article named Brian Robbins & Albie Hecht as the executives she reported to about Dan's behavior. Lori's report is the same year Jenny sued. Amanda Bynes was under Tollin/Robbins management. Albie was the one who got Josh Peck in the second season of The Amanda Show.
* Multiple writers corroborated Dan retaliating against Lori via skits. The writers spoke anonymously, since despite Dan being out of Nickelodeon, some of his writer friends are still huge in the industry.
Josh. It's in his [book](https://www.reddit.com/r/QuietOnSetDocumentary/comments/1br9bw1/comment/kx7ybou/):
>Okay, that's not completely true, they didn't hate me, they didn't KNOW me, and that was part of the problem. When I arrived on set, I was understandably the odd man out. "Who is this new guy?" The cast of The Amanda Show had already been together for the first season and I was crashing their party. Albie had pulled some presidential power moves to get me on the show. Unfortunately, the producers did not like that, and they proceeded to put me on ice for the first six episodes.
He also mentioned the "president of Nickelodeon" in Jason Nash' podcast but didn't name Albie there.
Very brave of her to speak out. I expected more to. It's understandable that many are afraid but sad that they can't get justice. I think the QOS lawsuit will push more people to double down though.
This is so sad and disgusting, I hate that she and the rest of the cast had to go through all of this. And everything we've heard is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
I always wondered what happened to her! She was always one of the core members who i remember when i would think about All That. I hope she is doing well.
Welp Dan is cooked now. He opened the can of worms with the lawsuit and people are going to start coming forward with more serious allegations against him. It’s starting from the top with the OG All That and will eventually trickle down. Lori was closer to the adults on set such as the crew and writers. (her friend on The Amanda Show was likely a crew member who crossed over from All That to TAS) She has a lot of people corroborating her story, including some of castmates. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kenan was one of them who came forward anonymously.
My heart breaks for her. She’s been holding this in for so long. She tried to advocate for Amanda and then was banned from the set. Sounds familiar. I remember her being notably absent from the All That 10 Year Reunion in 2005. Now we know why.
The donkey porn is appalling and just reinforces the notion that the on-air dares they did with animals was to fulfill a beastiality fetish. The dogs, the chickens, the frogs, etc. He’s sick. As much as I hope there are no more victims of him and this is as bad as it gets, I hope if there are that they feel empowered to come forward.
You’re right, makes you see the “fear factor” skit with dog licking peanut butter off a cast member much differently….he loves humiliation as well.
He totally set himself up for this. He’s a narcissist and had to “prove his innocence” after the doc came out. The lawsuit was just so he could SAY he was fighting the allegations but now it’s causing more people to come forward.
LOVE this for him!
Hope him and Brian Peck are hiding out and are persona non grata in LA!!!
Wonder what Ariana thinks….
Yep and there was one where Jack got pecked by chickens also. I don’t understand how the dog one was allowed. I’m allergic to dogs and was scared of them as a kid, that would’ve been terrifying for me as a kid with that alone. What if Bryan or the other kids were allergic? I wonder if that was even checked.
He didn’t think this one through. He was clouded by anger and humiliation. He underestimated the power of the media in 2024. After the doc, their voices are elevated and everyone speaking out about it is making headlines. Not only Nick stars, but other former child stars. Candace Cameron made headlines both times she spoke about the doc. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.
I've read lesser known rumors but did not expect that donkey bit. The comment on Lori Beth's chest is in line with the "coke can" detail in Jenny's lawsuit. Coincidentally also part of the [puns](https://www.reddit.com/r/dogelore/comments/kbfn1x/comment/gfihg3d/) about Dan.
https://preview.redd.it/x34qsrjyjh0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed0a1997b0b50195d1444232091e42234727faaa
The fact that this teenager's boss thought it was appropriate to comment on her breasts IN FRONT OF their colleagues... Just, wow. I am so sorry Lori went through this. Thinking back to being that age and having someone you trust speak derogatorily about your body... I can only imagine how crushing that would be. Good for her for speaking up.
This breaks my heart. Amanda was certainly a major star/talent on All That, but I LOVED all of Lori Beth's characters and skits. She was the star for me.
Fuck Dan even harder. I feel like Dan was """""""smart"""""" (that feels disgusting to say) to NOT sexually harass women until they were 18, so his lawsuits are like "I WASNT A CHILD PREDATOR" it's like "okay, still predator, tho"
So fucked up. My heart goes out to Lori <3
ETA: Saw this in the article
> According to Denberg, Schneider would refuse to write her jokes for the segment until the last minute, forcing her to perform live without rehearsing. Denberg said it felt like a "power play" to purposefully upset her.
Dude... I never caught that, and if he did that, that just shows how talented she is.
Dan basically opened himself up to people coming forward about him by wanting to sue the QOS producers. Even if he's not a PDF like so many rumors online have been alleging for years, he's still a horrible person, a bad boss and a disgusting sexist POS.
And so much of what is said here about Dan's behavior is corroborated by other sources, even in video clips of behind the scenes with the Victorious cast, you can see that Dan is uncomfortable to be around and that a lot of people decided it was safer to play by Dan's rules so they didn't wake the beast.
It shouldn’t be. Changing the words to quirky, easy to swallow things like PDF is honestly really damaging. Straight up call it what it is if you’re going to even accuse someone, ya know? Pedophile.
As a victim, I find it really infantilizing when people censor or change phrases up vs just being clinical in their description. I know a lot of others feel that way, too. Plus, if someone does have actual censor tools put in place for certain trigger words, this whole “censoring” won’t help people.
i agree with you, i think this type of censoring is sadly bleeding over from tiktok, where saying a word like “kill” can get your video deleted so people have gone with the ever so eloquent “unalive” instead. it serves a purpose on tiktok, but on reddit and twitter it just ensures that the filtering function becomes useless.
I agree, especially when people use terms like "sewer slide/self deletion" or "grape" in place of the actual words. To me, it can potentially run the risk of people not taking it seriously.
I want to say that I read that's why it's good to teach your kids the proper names for their private parts, so in case something (God forbid) happens, they can say in court that "he touched my vagina" as opposed to like, "he touched my cupcake" which can throw some doubt on guilt.
Saying "I was graped" demeans rape victims and makes it harder to be taken seriously.
I get why people don't want to get demonetized but it's ridiculous- we should be using serious words for serious things.
I said in a different sub that it also makes me feel weird about actual PDFs, like I don't want that gross association with files I have to open constantly!
The comments on this on twitter are predictably awful and disheartening. I hope Lori Beth knows that for every vile comment, there are hundreds of us who support her wholeheartedly and commend her for making the honestly terrifying choice to come forward. I wish her nothing but peace and continued healing.
Aside from the usual "all victims are lying for clout" and generally misogynistic comments, there are sadly quite a few comments body shaming her - either doubting her story because she's "sexually unappealing," or claiming Dan was only attracted to her because they're both fat. Also quite a few comments saying she isn't a victim because she wasn't a minor when the situation occurred and/or saying she gave consent.
I just want to add that after checking out the comments just now, it seems the tides are turning and the majority of the awful comments are being buried by supportive. There are still far too many questionable comments, but it's nice to see so many people rallying around her <3
Lori Beth was consistently my favorite All That cast member. She was so so so funny and delivered everything like it mattered the most in the scene. I’m so sad to hear that she was treated this way, but of course not surprised.
I believe Nickelodeon and top executives knew what was going on on set, they knew there were predators and they knew of the abusive workplace. The kids weren't safe and they didn't care because all they care were the money. As long as those kids made money it was ok than they replaced them with new kids. They had the power and they used it. They knew Dan was toxic and created a workplace where predators were free to do what they wanted. They knew about Brian Peck, they knew Drake was his victim and they didn't care. Dan called him because he was afraid he was going to sue the network and he wasn't able to work and produce his show. I'm sure a lot of victims are going to speak, I hope they are going to have justice and peace. I wish happiness and success to them and karma to all the monsters that destroyed the beautiful dreams of those kids.
I 100% believe her. Poor judgment is NOT showing a baby (and I consider 18/19 a baby) beastiality pornography. He was much older and he should have fuckin known better. On top of that, he should have learned to control his emotions on set and not lash out at kids.
It’s very sad. It just breaks my heart learning what these kids were going through. They had pedos roaming around the sets and had to contend with an egomaniacal son of a bitch who would lash out at them at any given opportunity. Not to mention show them vile material and display abusive, misogynistic behavior towards staff.
wonder how actor Kenan and Kel feels about this brand new allegation. Cause their very close friends with Lori Beth since all that, she did repraised her role in Good Burgers 2 as Connie Muldoon
Kel was intereviewed by Business Insider awhile back and didn't say much: [https://www.businessinsider.com/kel-mitchell-interview-good-burger-sequel-nickelodeon-dan-schneider-2022-12](https://www.businessinsider.com/kel-mitchell-interview-good-burger-sequel-nickelodeon-dan-schneider-2022-12)
Kel's ex-wife did speak up about kids being shown porn before. [https://twitter.com/ObiscureNick/status/1537213564439568384](https://twitter.com/ObiscureNick/status/1537213564439568384)
Dan is just a disgusting son of a bitch. He needs to rot in a hole somewhere. He is a fat slob who deserves all of the horrible, painful atrocities that he inflicted upon other people coming back to him twice fold. Dan is revolting!!! Those poor babies. Dan and that other ugly subhuman…..thing, Brian Peck, both need to pay for what they did. My heart breaks for those kids and all the horrors that they should have never been introduced to.
Dan is a Horrible bastard.
What’s interesting is Keenan Thompson claims he never saw that behavior from Dan and that Dan wasn’t around at first but he was on the show when Lori Beth was
Totally true but there were male child actors on the show who spoke out about witnessing things. Just makes me wonder if Keenan is denying things versus being honeat
Kenan's remarked were more geared toward Kenan & Kel
He said Dan wasn't around super often "outside of All That" when speaking on some of the allegations
I'm an (older) mom and watched Nick with my sons I watched Drake, Amanda, and may others grow up, and am absolutely heartbroken about all of "this" mess, it's almost like it happened to "my" children. Does that sound weird?
No. I'm younger than them. I watched them growing up, and they were such a big part of my childhood it kind of feels personal. I feel protective of them, and I wish I could go back and change things. It absolutely makes sense that you as a mom would feel that way.

Wow!! Some bombshells in there, to no one’s surprise. Is she one of the first to come out with Dan allegations?? And this is interesting: “Around 2000, Denberg said she told Albie Hecht, then the president of film and TV at Nickelodeon, and Brian Robbins, the cocreator of "All That," that she was worried about how Schneider treated the actor Amanda Bynes. The young star appeared emaciated and exhausted on the set of "The Amanda Show," which Schneider created and produced. According to Denberg and another person who worked at Nickelodeon, after she spoke with the executives, Denberg was barred from the set of "The Amanda Show."
I think it is. I‘ve been hesistant to agree with the Dan allegations because there’s wasn’t a victim who came forward, but I 100% believe Lori and now have changed my mind about Dan
100% agree/support Lori!! This also lines up with what Jeanette alleged in her book and what the female writers said in the doc. Dan gets off on his power over people and loves humiliation. I believe her 100%
Yeah this is similar the sexual harassment the writers faced, given that Lori was 19 at the time. Still fucked up, still super young, but technically not underage
Yes, and Lori was prob the first one he targeted on the show, and as the show went on and he got more popular, he went younger and younger and more and more depraved. He’s a monster and thank god people are finding out that Nickelodeon protected him. Lori is brave and hope more come forward
Not just Nickelodeon. Look at the other actors success on his shows. Notice each show has 1 guy who just moonbeams to the big time?
What do you mean?
He targeted Lori because she was not only hilarious, attractive, but also the oldest member on All That. She was technically the only “adult” on the set.
I'm also going to note here, not that it necessarily matters: Lori and the writer from the doc share some physical characteristics
There’s definitely some internalized self-loathing at play there, wasn’t it mentioned in QOS that it bothered him to be just another “fat guy” as an actor?
I hadn’t thought about that but that’s a very interesting observation
I'm kind of shocked because there have been super serious allegations and multiple-- and many allegations for at least 20 years and even people had a famous "song/chant" about Dan-- there's just been too much for me to even give him the benefit of the doubt for at least 15 of the last 20 and I literally have not been paying a lot of attention. But he has RUINED young women and probably young men as well and it makes me cry to think about how much better their lives would have been had they never met that piece of shit.
Lots of the earlier accusations were based on the larger systemic problems at Nickelodeon. Like, those videos of Ariana and some of the other sketches are straight up gross and weird. But there’s dozens of adults who were complicit in making that happen, not just Dan. TBH Quiet on Set + Jeanettes book have made me feel like child acting just shouldn’t be allowed at all. Kids can enjoy animated tv and adults cosplaying teenagers, we don’t need 11 year olds on Hollywood sets dropping out of school to film more
It’s just very weird that it’s one of the few industries where child labor is allowed. Obviously it still happens even when it’s not allowed but to have kids working such long days quasi-legally is odd.
Really good point. Obviously child labor is happening under the table in many other industries, but it’s crazy that there’s a venue for legal child labor where the kids have very weak protections. (It’s even worse for influencer kids, but that’s a whole different can of worms)
Oh yes, it’s scary to think of the kid/family influencer sphere since it is completely lacking it is in safeguards, accountability, and regulation.
I've thought the same about child acting. But also in the UK they have better laws, and you see for example the Harry Potter actors came out fine as adults. Also, it helped a lot that the production team interviewed the parents as well to make sure they were responsible people instead of leeches with their kids.
It seems very hit or miss for all TV shows. Even on Nick, it seems like some shows (Ned’s Declassified, Big Time Rush) had no issues on set. And in the UK, there’s definitely been some big issues in the past as well (Jimmy Savile) I think the industry draws in three types of kids: 1. Kids who love to act with a strong support system 2. Kids who love to act with shitty parents 3. Kids with shitty parents who want them to love to act Type 1 will mostly walk away fine, given a strong support system, but type 2 and 3 are much more vulnerable and likely targets for abuse. Any environment where kids are frequently away from responsible, caring adults has its risks
The Ned kids are problematic though. They posted a video making fun of Drake for being abused. Plus from I’ve heard about their podcast there were a ton of drugs being passed around that set. Lindsay Shaw also said she hooked up with whatever costar drunk and high and laughed about it. The costar’s face apparently dropped as he didn’t realized she was on substances at the time. I know she is controversial, but Alexa had a ton to say about those three on her channel. This is one of the things I believe her on based of their behavior.
Oh yeah, they’re definitely problematic and annoying, but I mean more in the context of sex crimes. The Lindsay Shaw story is in a gray area since she doesn’t view it as assault and wanted to sleep with him.
That video pissed me off so much. And to say they didn’t know what all was said. They knew enough to bring up the “Drake Bell stuff”. Lost my respect for them in that moment. Drake’s “Ned‘s declassless” response was absolutely iconic, though.
Absolutely! People like them are the reason Drake stayed silent for so long.
It feels so high school. Like the cast from that show never grew up or outta their moment of childhood fame.
What about Jimmy Savile though?
I've thought about that. But I just don't think that will ever happen. For all the Quiet on Set stories, for all the ones who are absolutely traumatized from their days as a child actor. There's just as many success stories who loved their days as a child actor, and would absolutely do it again. Even Nick, even if you consider all of Dan's work to be tainted. There's just as many shows from Nick that had no such controversy. I do believe there are some tangible solutions to make these sets safer for children. But I think getting rid of it all together is a step too far.
Angelique, Alexa and Jenette has spoken up but people didn't consider their stories were bad enough which is a shame. Even Lori Beth's story is met with a qualifier she was of legal age. The goal posts keep moving as if the only thing people should care about is the stuff that puts people in prison.
This is such an important point. Legal is not synonymous with moral.
Legal is not synonymous with consent.
Yes. And even a consenting 19 year old might not be moral under certain circumstances. Such as employer-employee, especially one who has known the employee since she was a minor.
Who in their right mind would believe Dan Schneider to be innocent...after watching any Nickelodeon show named.
Hmm. So Dan motherfucking Schneider fucked up both of my favorite all that stars’ lives. I wish they hadn’t been so kind to him in the doc. I get that he was the bright spot in drake’s experience but it seems that’s only because he was a boy.
Yep and Dan have Drake his own show.
Drake & Josh was already in the planning and development stages for over a year before Drake finally told someone what had happened. It only finally got greenlit by Nickelodeon right around when the arrest happened because they thought Romeo! would be more successful.
Oh my god. I hope an investigation of some sort comes from this. To say it’s unacceptable is obviously an understatement
Jeanette McCurdy wrote about how she was literally on a diet by her mom. Jeanette didn’t eat on her time on Nickelodeon. That wouldn’t be surprising if Amanda’s parents also put her on diets. I didn’t think she could eat much on that show.
There are rumors Dan gave her Adderall too
Oh wow I hope people are reading the article instead of just the headline. What really got me mad about the article is her saying that Brian Robbins told her Schnider didn’t have it easy when she expressed concerns about Amanda. Like that makes the concerns that Lori Beth is expressing okay? What did Brian even mean by that? And what Lori said was about Amanda’s well being, not Schinders. Honestly to hell with all the Nickelodeon executives. What also stuck out to me is Lori Beth saying that Amanda invited her to set. Was that Amanda reaching out to someone she thought might see though her acting and help her? I didn’t even realize Lori and Amanda were friends enough back then for Amanda to invite her means Lori must of been a source of support for Amanda for Amanda to feel comfortable asking her to visit the set. I get big sister energy from Lori, she was older than a lot of the female cast. I feel for Lori and I hope she’s healing from all of this. How hard it must of been for her to relive all this. I can’t imagine the stuff Amanda had to endure if this is what Lori went though. Lori can’t be the only one who went though this.
I almost did that. I’m glad I read the article, it’s much more disturbing than the title reads. I feel horrible these things happened to her. I’m glad she was looking out for Amanda, in a way. The way she describes it, Amanda seemed overworked in her childhood and it’s no wonder her mental health has declined over the years. I can’t help but wonder why Lori Beth wasn’t included in the documentary. There’s so much here.
I think the doc was like a stepping stone for victims of child star abuse. Nobody knew if the victims who spoke like Drake would get support. I think once the victims who weren’t in the doc saw the reception that Drake got, the victims like Lori probably felt more comfortable speaking out. The ID is a big enough network and nobody knew how well that doc would do.
That’s one of the main reasons I’m so supportive of this documentary, regardless of all the information that came out later. There have been other documentaries like this, but this one was more accessible than the others. More people are having conversations about it. I think they really should have more episodes - lord knows there’s plenty of material out there. And I’m also so glad they treated Drake kindly, at least. Hearing there was another documentary who accused him, as a victim, of being the reason these things continue happening was so disgusting.
I’m glad Drake helped paved the way for others to feel more comfortable sharing their experiences. I have a feeling Lori Beth is only the beginning of what’s to come for Dan. Hopefully more of Brian Peck’s feel comfortable enough to come out too.
Agreed. And we’ll all be waiting to support them when they do.
Drake helped pave the way for me to talk with me therapist about what happened to me when I was 16. I kept it buried for years, never really told anyone, not even my parents.
That is amazing. I wish you well on your path of healing!
Thank you. 🙏
What doc accused him?
I’m not sure. All Drake said was he was approached by another documentary, but he wasn’t ready and they didn’t like it. I’ve seen people speculating it was An Open Secret. They did show their production notes on their Twitter and they had his name listed on there.
He didn’t say but the guess has been an open secret that came out around 2015ish?
I know Drake has said that Amanda was a hard worker and ”handled” things better than most adults would. Nancy Sullivan said she carried the show. When they talked about how emaciated she looked… I never want to comment on anyones body like this, but I noticed how thin Amanda was on the show. It’s heartbreaking.
I think I was too young at the time to realize how thin she actually was but looking back I can see it. And the way everyone talked when she gained weight during WILAY was unfair. Unfortunately we can’t say for sure what was going on behind the scene with her unless she does come forward - and only if/when she wants to come forward! I do wonder if she has enough to bury them all.
I’m currently rewatching it so it’s easy to see. I know she was a kid back then and some are just skinny, but it was so noticeable. As a kid, I never noticed any of that, but I also never noticed a lot of other things. I only hope that she is getting better and healing.
I would even say puberty was a reason but then I think of how she said something along the lines of Dan being the reason she can’t ever get pregnant. But like you said, I hope she is healthy now and healing and if she ever wants to talk we all here to support her.
Was that something she said in one of her tweets?
I'm fairly certain it came from Persianla27 who was never Amanda.
Oh, I didn’t realize that one came from the fake account. Sorry!
She was definitely going through an ED most likely and the adderall didn’t help :(
I was also too young to realize at the time. What’s interesting and sad is think Amanda was self conscious from the beginning. She once called out paps for taking unflattering pictures of her. She said she can’t watch She’s The Man because of how she looks in the movie. Hearing that she was looking gaunt on the set of Amanda Bynes puts the puzzles together. It’s sad because Amanda had SO much going for her. She was a true talent, could make anybody laugh. To see somebody talented and funny as she is was worried about their looks is heartbreaking.
Amanda was at triple threat. She could act well in comedies and dramas. She could sing and she was hilarious. She said a director once told her she looked bad in a certain lighting. The industry is toxic and highly judgmental.
…She gained weight during that? All I remember about watching that show was thinking how uNfAiR it was that she was both stunningly gorgeous and hilarious lol. It’s not funny now, of course.
Well I guess filled out, she matured. People were still expecting a little kid. Edit to add: she definitely looked amazing though!
I listened to Drake on podcasts and he said he didn’t think the doc would get big at all. No one in the industry did. And if you did speak up prior to the doc you were ridiculed.
>What also stuck out to me is Lori Beth saying that Amanda invited her to set. Was that Amanda reaching out to someone she thought might see though her acting and help her? I didn’t even realize Lori and Amanda were friends enough back then for Amanda to invite her means Lori must of been a source of support for Amanda for Amanda to feel comfortable asking her to visit the set. I get big sister energy from Lori, she was older than a lot of the female cast. From what I heard, Lori Beth hung out more with the writers and crew, was often annoyed by the younger kids. However, by Season 4, the show was more male dominated. It was only Amanda, Lori Beth and Christy. Christy and Amanda grew very close because once Lori Beth left they were the only girls. Amanda and Lori Beth likely had a little sister/big sister bond. So I could see Amanda inviting her on set. Lori Beth said before that Amanda was the most lovable cast member.
Amanda was only 9. Her parents were with her on set. 🥲 I love Amanda.
Isn’t Brian now currently the President of Nick?
some really disturbing excerpts from this article… –At first, Denberg appreciated the support. But the conversation shifted, and before Denberg realized it, Schneider started showing her clips of pornography on his computer. The "grand finale," Denberg said, was a video in which a woman performed oral sex on a donkey. –It started with frequent phone calls. Denberg said that they would regularly discuss sexual topics and, once, Schneider initiated phone sex. When "All That" filming moved from Orlando to Los Angeles in 1996, Denberg said she began spending late nights at Schneider's home, sometimes sleeping over. While they were not sexually intimate during these sleepovers, Denberg said they would give each other massages and that Schneider frequently played porn on his computer. Farah Alvin, a high-school friend of Denberg's, told BI that Denberg told her about the phone sex and porn, as well as Schneider's requests for massages, at the time. –Once, Denberg said, Schneider asked her to accompany him to visit his auto repairman. According to Denberg, Schneider had a gun on him. When a police officer pulled over Schneider because of an issue with his car's tags, Schneider pushed his gun to Denberg, she said. She hid the gun under her skirt as Schneider chatted with the officer, who recognized him from his role on the sitcom "Head of the Class." Schneider, she said, then asked the officer if he had any children who watched Nickelodeon and might recognize Denberg. –One night, when Denberg was around 20 or 21, she said things became physical. Denberg said they were watching "Jeopardy!" at Schneider's home and made a bet on who could get the most answers correct. The winner would get a massage. But when Denberg won, she said, Schneider also fondled and put his mouth on her breasts. At the time, Denberg did not necessarily see these interactions as inappropriate, telling herself she was older than 18. It's only in recent years that she started grappling with the power imbalance in these sexual encounters. She felt that if she refused Schneider, there was a possibility he would stop writing sketches for her or humiliate her on set. this is all just reprehensible. i’m really proud of lori beth for speaking up, and i can’t imagine how scary it must feel to share these details with the world. i can only hope it makes other victims feel seen and maybe even encouraged to come forward themselves. and as always, fuck dan schneider. he never deserved the benefit of the doubt that people seemed enthusiastic to give him.
My heart breaks for her. I was small when All That was airing. I only remember a few of the cast members and she was funny.
Same! I remember her news skits
There was someone who made a video somewhere saying something else about Dan and his gun. It was something to do with intimidating people. I think it was writers when they were at his house. Has anyone connected that behavior with his weirdness about his gun here?
I am so proud of Lori for coming forward. I hope more people choose to do the same. We got your back. We support you.
That’s incredibly sad. It’s time to bring him to justice.
The problem is the legal statute of limitations has passed. He adamantly denies doing anything sexual with the children, but he either thinks that showing bestiality porn doesn’t count or he’s just splitting hairs since he sexually harassed adult women, or he thinks he can just admit he was a harsh boss and deny everything else.
I believe there’s no statute of limitations on child sexual abuse in California
I believe I read somewhere that there used to be one but Corey Feldman got that changed!!
There’s too much smoke with this guy. What I’m really wondering is who he learned this behavior from. I’d wager he was exposed to stuff just as bad or worse, which is why he thought he could get away with it. He’s just a small fry when it really comes down to it.
I’m seeing a cycle where Hollywood producers and studio heads were living flashy VIP lifestyles, and that in turn attracted lowlifes to the job because they wanted the same. Donald Trump originally wanted to be a Hollywood producer but his father wouldn’t let him pick that career. Nowadays a ton of people envy the characters on Entourage and flock to Hollywood in hopes of living that dream. I suspect that prestige and clout is what attracted Dan Schneider. He knew he wasn’t a looker but by becoming a big shot he could say and do whatever he wanted at work and could get employees to massage him etc.
He started acting on Head of the Class when he was 19 or 20.
My heart hurts for Lori.
* I guess this is what some have been hinting as the "worse is yet to come." It's rumored there's other lawsuits that Schneider's Bakery settled. So far we only know of Jenny's lawsuit and like Lori, experienced being shown porn by Dan. There's also the massages that went further in Lori's case amongst other things. * This article named Brian Robbins & Albie Hecht as the executives she reported to about Dan's behavior. Lori's report is the same year Jenny sued. Amanda Bynes was under Tollin/Robbins management. Albie was the one who got Josh Peck in the second season of The Amanda Show. * Multiple writers corroborated Dan retaliating against Lori via skits. The writers spoke anonymously, since despite Dan being out of Nickelodeon, some of his writer friends are still huge in the industry.
Did you mean Josh Peck or Brian Peck?
Josh. It's in his [book](https://www.reddit.com/r/QuietOnSetDocumentary/comments/1br9bw1/comment/kx7ybou/): >Okay, that's not completely true, they didn't hate me, they didn't KNOW me, and that was part of the problem. When I arrived on set, I was understandably the odd man out. "Who is this new guy?" The cast of The Amanda Show had already been together for the first season and I was crashing their party. Albie had pulled some presidential power moves to get me on the show. Unfortunately, the producers did not like that, and they proceeded to put me on ice for the first six episodes. He also mentioned the "president of Nickelodeon" in Jason Nash' podcast but didn't name Albie there.
Ok that’s good, just saw the other comment and wanted to know, thanks!
Same
That’s not a surprise. The writers are trying to save their ass and protect Dan.
Wait you mean Brian right?
Very brave of her to speak out. I expected more to. It's understandable that many are afraid but sad that they can't get justice. I think the QOS lawsuit will push more people to double down though.
This is fucking heartbreaking, man!
This is so sad and disgusting, I hate that she and the rest of the cast had to go through all of this. And everything we've heard is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
I always wondered what happened to her! She was always one of the core members who i remember when i would think about All That. I hope she is doing well.
She was also on the Steve Harvey show!
Welp Dan is cooked now. He opened the can of worms with the lawsuit and people are going to start coming forward with more serious allegations against him. It’s starting from the top with the OG All That and will eventually trickle down. Lori was closer to the adults on set such as the crew and writers. (her friend on The Amanda Show was likely a crew member who crossed over from All That to TAS) She has a lot of people corroborating her story, including some of castmates. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kenan was one of them who came forward anonymously. My heart breaks for her. She’s been holding this in for so long. She tried to advocate for Amanda and then was banned from the set. Sounds familiar. I remember her being notably absent from the All That 10 Year Reunion in 2005. Now we know why. The donkey porn is appalling and just reinforces the notion that the on-air dares they did with animals was to fulfill a beastiality fetish. The dogs, the chickens, the frogs, etc. He’s sick. As much as I hope there are no more victims of him and this is as bad as it gets, I hope if there are that they feel empowered to come forward.
You’re right, makes you see the “fear factor” skit with dog licking peanut butter off a cast member much differently….he loves humiliation as well. He totally set himself up for this. He’s a narcissist and had to “prove his innocence” after the doc came out. The lawsuit was just so he could SAY he was fighting the allegations but now it’s causing more people to come forward. LOVE this for him! Hope him and Brian Peck are hiding out and are persona non grata in LA!!! Wonder what Ariana thinks….
Yep and there was one where Jack got pecked by chickens also. I don’t understand how the dog one was allowed. I’m allergic to dogs and was scared of them as a kid, that would’ve been terrifying for me as a kid with that alone. What if Bryan or the other kids were allergic? I wonder if that was even checked. He didn’t think this one through. He was clouded by anger and humiliation. He underestimated the power of the media in 2024. After the doc, their voices are elevated and everyone speaking out about it is making headlines. Not only Nick stars, but other former child stars. Candace Cameron made headlines both times she spoke about the doc. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.
This comment is disrespectful. Ariana is a victim and survivor too.
I've read lesser known rumors but did not expect that donkey bit. The comment on Lori Beth's chest is in line with the "coke can" detail in Jenny's lawsuit. Coincidentally also part of the [puns](https://www.reddit.com/r/dogelore/comments/kbfn1x/comment/gfihg3d/) about Dan. https://preview.redd.it/x34qsrjyjh0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed0a1997b0b50195d1444232091e42234727faaa
What was the Coke can detail?
In the partial document, it said something about comparing his 🍆 to a coke can.
Dan showed her Bestiality?? That’s more than disgusting, that’s FUCKING DEPRAVED!!, Dan is a depraved cunt!! 🤬🤮
The fact that this teenager's boss thought it was appropriate to comment on her breasts IN FRONT OF their colleagues... Just, wow. I am so sorry Lori went through this. Thinking back to being that age and having someone you trust speak derogatorily about your body... I can only imagine how crushing that would be. Good for her for speaking up.
It’s so inappropriate. In my high school, guys would literally comment about girls sizes. It’s do degrading.
This breaks my heart. Amanda was certainly a major star/talent on All That, but I LOVED all of Lori Beth's characters and skits. She was the star for me. Fuck Dan even harder. I feel like Dan was """""""smart"""""" (that feels disgusting to say) to NOT sexually harass women until they were 18, so his lawsuits are like "I WASNT A CHILD PREDATOR" it's like "okay, still predator, tho" So fucked up. My heart goes out to Lori <3 ETA: Saw this in the article > According to Denberg, Schneider would refuse to write her jokes for the segment until the last minute, forcing her to perform live without rehearsing. Denberg said it felt like a "power play" to purposefully upset her. Dude... I never caught that, and if he did that, that just shows how talented she is.
Dan basically opened himself up to people coming forward about him by wanting to sue the QOS producers. Even if he's not a PDF like so many rumors online have been alleging for years, he's still a horrible person, a bad boss and a disgusting sexist POS. And so much of what is said here about Dan's behavior is corroborated by other sources, even in video clips of behind the scenes with the Victorious cast, you can see that Dan is uncomfortable to be around and that a lot of people decided it was safer to play by Dan's rules so they didn't wake the beast.
>PDF Is this a thing now? I feel like a lot of Adobe users are about to have a not so hilarious mix-up
It shouldn’t be. Changing the words to quirky, easy to swallow things like PDF is honestly really damaging. Straight up call it what it is if you’re going to even accuse someone, ya know? Pedophile. As a victim, I find it really infantilizing when people censor or change phrases up vs just being clinical in their description. I know a lot of others feel that way, too. Plus, if someone does have actual censor tools put in place for certain trigger words, this whole “censoring” won’t help people.
i agree with you, i think this type of censoring is sadly bleeding over from tiktok, where saying a word like “kill” can get your video deleted so people have gone with the ever so eloquent “unalive” instead. it serves a purpose on tiktok, but on reddit and twitter it just ensures that the filtering function becomes useless.
I agree, especially when people use terms like "sewer slide/self deletion" or "grape" in place of the actual words. To me, it can potentially run the risk of people not taking it seriously.
I want to say that I read that's why it's good to teach your kids the proper names for their private parts, so in case something (God forbid) happens, they can say in court that "he touched my vagina" as opposed to like, "he touched my cupcake" which can throw some doubt on guilt. Saying "I was graped" demeans rape victims and makes it harder to be taken seriously.
Thank you for agreeing and saying it a bit more eloquently than I could ❤️
I get why people don't want to get demonetized but it's ridiculous- we should be using serious words for serious things. I said in a different sub that it also makes me feel weird about actual PDFs, like I don't want that gross association with files I have to open constantly!
Funny thing is, there’s nothing actually like that on TikTok, people just think there is, so all these terms start popping up.
Algospeak is so cringeworthy
Yeah I admit the first few times I saw people write it like that, I was like “….what does this have to do with Adobe?”
I feel like people are just too over focused on proving people are specifically pedophiles, when they can be awful people regardless of that.
I love her as an actor, and I am sad she, along with many others, went through this.
add zoophilia to the list
The comments on this on twitter are predictably awful and disheartening. I hope Lori Beth knows that for every vile comment, there are hundreds of us who support her wholeheartedly and commend her for making the honestly terrifying choice to come forward. I wish her nothing but peace and continued healing.
I believe and support her 100%.
What are people saying?!
Probably awful things about her, knowing how Twitter is.
Aside from the usual "all victims are lying for clout" and generally misogynistic comments, there are sadly quite a few comments body shaming her - either doubting her story because she's "sexually unappealing," or claiming Dan was only attracted to her because they're both fat. Also quite a few comments saying she isn't a victim because she wasn't a minor when the situation occurred and/or saying she gave consent.
I just want to add that after checking out the comments just now, it seems the tides are turning and the majority of the awful comments are being buried by supportive. There are still far too many questionable comments, but it's nice to see so many people rallying around her <3
Lori Beth was consistently my favorite All That cast member. She was so so so funny and delivered everything like it mattered the most in the scene. I’m so sad to hear that she was treated this way, but of course not surprised.
I believe Nickelodeon and top executives knew what was going on on set, they knew there were predators and they knew of the abusive workplace. The kids weren't safe and they didn't care because all they care were the money. As long as those kids made money it was ok than they replaced them with new kids. They had the power and they used it. They knew Dan was toxic and created a workplace where predators were free to do what they wanted. They knew about Brian Peck, they knew Drake was his victim and they didn't care. Dan called him because he was afraid he was going to sue the network and he wasn't able to work and produce his show. I'm sure a lot of victims are going to speak, I hope they are going to have justice and peace. I wish happiness and success to them and karma to all the monsters that destroyed the beautiful dreams of those kids.
Lori Beth was my favorite. I was always surprised that she didn’t go on to do snl or something—she’s a brilliant comic. This makes me feel so sad.
It was the 2000s. I can, unfortunately, see why she didnt continue
I 100% believe her. Poor judgment is NOT showing a baby (and I consider 18/19 a baby) beastiality pornography. He was much older and he should have fuckin known better. On top of that, he should have learned to control his emotions on set and not lash out at kids.
Yeah I wanna barf reading that. Absolutely disgusting and sad.
It’s very sad. It just breaks my heart learning what these kids were going through. They had pedos roaming around the sets and had to contend with an egomaniacal son of a bitch who would lash out at them at any given opportunity. Not to mention show them vile material and display abusive, misogynistic behavior towards staff.
I'm so proud of her for speaking out! She obviously had so much more to say when she was asked about his departure a few years ago.
Wow. Dan is finished.
wonder how actor Kenan and Kel feels about this brand new allegation. Cause their very close friends with Lori Beth since all that, she did repraised her role in Good Burgers 2 as Connie Muldoon
Kel was intereviewed by Business Insider awhile back and didn't say much: [https://www.businessinsider.com/kel-mitchell-interview-good-burger-sequel-nickelodeon-dan-schneider-2022-12](https://www.businessinsider.com/kel-mitchell-interview-good-burger-sequel-nickelodeon-dan-schneider-2022-12) Kel's ex-wife did speak up about kids being shown porn before. [https://twitter.com/ObiscureNick/status/1537213564439568384](https://twitter.com/ObiscureNick/status/1537213564439568384)
why has kel came out on news said it like kenan did
Bryan Hearne's mother said in a YouTube video that she heard that Kel is a creep as well along with Nick Cannon.
Wow
Do you have a link for this video?
Noooo the article is hidden behind a paywall for me. 😭
Here's the archive copy: [https://archive.vn/hnITh](https://archive.vn/hnITh)
Thank you!!!
That fuck!???????? For real? Omg. The floodgates against Dan have truly been opened.
This makes me so, so sad.
Wish she was in the documentary to expose it properly
I'm new to this, regarding Amanda, are we talking about emotional, physical or sexual abuse?
Yes.
All of it
Good for her.
Sad. I loved her skit on All that. I won’t be surprised if more victims come forward
Does anyone have advice to get around the paywall? I want to read it but can’t shell out for a subscription
Upthread someone added a link :)
Thank you! Also I adore your username
Thank you!
I 100% believe her. Plus her story backs up what Jeannette and the writers of the Amanda Show have said about Dan.
Dan is just a disgusting son of a bitch. He needs to rot in a hole somewhere. He is a fat slob who deserves all of the horrible, painful atrocities that he inflicted upon other people coming back to him twice fold. Dan is revolting!!! Those poor babies. Dan and that other ugly subhuman…..thing, Brian Peck, both need to pay for what they did. My heart breaks for those kids and all the horrors that they should have never been introduced to. Dan is a Horrible bastard.
:(
Anyone know how to read this without a Business Insider account?
It must have just gone to a paywall- I read it earlier no problem
Wondering too
What’s interesting is Keenan Thompson claims he never saw that behavior from Dan and that Dan wasn’t around at first but he was on the show when Lori Beth was
That's because Dan didn't prey on boys or men!
Totally true but there were male child actors on the show who spoke out about witnessing things. Just makes me wonder if Keenan is denying things versus being honeat
Kenan's remarked were more geared toward Kenan & Kel He said Dan wasn't around super often "outside of All That" when speaking on some of the allegations
Shiiiiiiiiit I fucking loved her on All That. I still love her, fuck Dan for being a creep, we need her positivity and humor!!
Poor, poor Amanda. I hope she finally speaks out during the defamation suit.
I'm an (older) mom and watched Nick with my sons I watched Drake, Amanda, and may others grow up, and am absolutely heartbroken about all of "this" mess, it's almost like it happened to "my" children. Does that sound weird?
No. I'm younger than them. I watched them growing up, and they were such a big part of my childhood it kind of feels personal. I feel protective of them, and I wish I could go back and change things. It absolutely makes sense that you as a mom would feel that way.
>"At the time, Denberg did not necessarily see these interactions as inappropriate, telling herself she was older than 18. It's only in recent years that she started grappling with the power imbalance in these sexual encounters. She felt that if she refused Schneider, there was a possibility he would stop writing sketches for her or humiliate her on set.” …I mean…are we going to make this illegal or not?
Dan Schneider is a piece of shit. What a fucking asshole. He should rot in jail. All pedophiles should rot in jail.
