Joey Lawrence shares how he survived the ‘dark side’ of early fame as ‘90s child stars allege abuse

The “Brotherly Love” alum tells Page Six that his parents kept him safe from any unsavory interactions with network superiors: “A lot of stuff went down that was not OK.”

Joey Lawrence is grateful that he survived the “dark side” of early fame as a multitude of ‘90s child stars have spoken out as of late, alleging abuse at the hands of network superiors. The actor — who rose to fame on the ’80s show “Gimme a Break!” and the ’90s hit “Blossom” — notes that he was “very lucky” to avoid any unsavory interactions in the biz, adding that his parents were “always around” to keep him and his famous siblings safe. “Quiet on Set” also details accusations of sexism, racism and inappropriate workplace behavior against former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider — who helmed iconic projects such as “All That,” “The Amanda Show” and “Zoey 101.”
