Dan Schneider Breaks Silence After Watching ‘Quiet on Set’ Doc: “It Hurts Really Bad For Me”

The Hollywood Reporter has obtained a reaction video where the former Nickelodeon producer talks cutting scenes from his series, sexualized content, on-set massages, Drake Bell, Amanda Bynes and more: "I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology."

An apologetic and at times emotional Dan Schneider has broken his silence after viewing Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a four-part docuseries that made claims about toxic workplaces for child actors and crews on Nickelodeon series he created and ran. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology,” Schneider told BooG!E, who played T-Bo on iCarly, in a 19-minute video interview that was shot after the former Nickelodeon producer watched Quiet on Set, which aired Sunday and Monday nights on ID and Max. But in statements issued by his representatives on Monday after the first night aired, Schneider, in part, responded to claims about sexualized content and toxic on-set behavior by saying that “everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network.”
