Nickelodeon star Alexa Nikolas blasts Dan Schneider's 'Quiet on Set' response: 'It’s not an apology'

'Zoey 101' star Alexa Nikolas isn't impressed with Dan Schneider's response to Nickelodeon doc 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV': 'When someone doesn’t personally come to you and apologize, it’s not an apology.'

Alexa Nikolas, who played Nicole Bristow on Zoey 101 and appeared in Quiet on Set, released a lengthy reaction video to Schneider’s YouTube response, in which the Zoey 101 co-creator admitted "there's definitely things that I would do differently" and said "I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology." In her own video, Nikolas called out Schneiderfor releasing the public statement instead of making private apologies to the kids who worked on his sets. In the docuseries, Nikolas was one of several former child stars to express that their time on Nickelodeon negatively impacted their mental health and self-esteem.
