Jennie Garth recently expressed her strong disapproval of Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider following the allegations made against him in the documentary 'Quiet on Set.' Garth, known for her role in 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' made it clear that she has no intention of discussing Schneider in the future.
During her time on Schneider's show 'What I Like About You' from 2002 to 2006, Garth worked alongside Amanda Bynes. However, she revealed that she has not been in contact with Bynes since the release of the Investigation Documentary docuseries last month. Despite this, Garth expressed her admiration for Bynes and her desire to reconnect with her former co-star.
On the other hand, Drake Bell, who gained fame on 'The Amanda Show' and 'Drake & Josh,' came forward in 'Quiet on Set' with disturbing revelations. Bell disclosed that he was sexually assaulted by his former dialogue coach, Brian Peck, when he was just 15 years old. Describing the abuse as 'extensive' and 'brutal,' Bell shared the traumatic experience he endured at a young age.
Bell's encounter with Peck occurred during the filming of 'The Amanda Show' in 2000. Subsequently, Peck faced legal consequences, being arrested on multiple charges related to sexual assault in 2003. He was later convicted of sexually abusing Bell and served time in prison.
In light of the allegations against Schneider, who has been accused of creating a toxic work environment, Garth is among the former stars who have spoken out against him. Schneider, now 58, has acknowledged some of his past behaviors and expressed regret for them.
Garth's stance adds to the voices of other former Nickelodeon stars, such as Josh Peck, Kenan Thompson, and Melissa Joan Hart, who have addressed the revelations brought to light in the documentary. The industry-wide impact of these allegations underscores the importance of addressing issues of abuse and misconduct in the entertainment industry.
