00:00A new report is shedding more light on the behavior of ex-Nickelodeon powerhouse Dan
00:04Schneider. In the Business Insider article, Nickelodeon actors, writers, and crew members
00:09detail workplace misconduct involving inappropriate comments to minors, requests for massages,
00:14and gender discrimination. They also raised concerns about sexually suggestive content
00:18in Schneider's shows. Victorious's Daniella Monet pointed out one scene in which she was
00:22instructed to eat a pickle while putting on lip gloss. She contacted Nickelodeon about the sexual
00:26nature of the scene, but the network aired it anyway. When it came to costuming, one writer
00:30claims that Schneider often advocated for quote, whatever was the most revealing. This is echoed
00:35in McCurdy's memoir, who recalls allegedly being pressured to wear a two-piece bikini while
00:39filming iCarly. Several female writers have also come forward about the lack of gender diversity
00:43on Schneider's sets. None of his shows credit more than two female writers, with some listing
00:47zero. Schneider, who left Nickelodeon in 2018 following an investigation, has denied any
00:52wrongdoing. No evidence of sexual misconduct was found, but many quote viewed him as verbally abusive.
