‘Sam & Cat’ star Jennette McCurdy’s damning new memoir has many rethinking how the author’s co-star, Ariana Grande, was treated at Nickelodeon.
“What we’re seeing here is a bunch of ‘professional execs’ at Nickelodeon who did not protect the children on set,” Nikolas said at the protest. “Children on Nickelodeon were not safe, at least when I was on it.” Thursday’s protest and Nikolas’ allegations come weeks after McCurdy, who starred on the hit Nickelodeon show “iCarly” and spinoff “Sam & Cat,” released a bombshell memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” that discussed her experiences with the network. Without naming Schneider, she alleged that a figure known as “the Creator” pressured her to drink alcohol while underage and said Nickelodeon tried to buy her silence.
“What the f—? Nickelodeon is offering me three hundred thousand dollars in hush money to not talk publicly about my experience on the show? My personal experience of The Creator’s abuse?” she wrote in the book. “This is a network with shows made for children. Shouldn’t they have some sort of moral compass? Shouldn’t they at least try to report to some sort of ethical standard?”
