Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice recently shared her experiences of feeling unfairly treated during her time as a child actor on the network. Justice, known for her roles in 'Zoey 101' and 'Victorious,' spoke out in light of the Investigation Discovery docuseries 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.'
In a recent interview, Justice expressed that she felt her former producer, Dan Schneider, had a large ego that sometimes clouded his judgment and affected the way he treated people. While Justice clarified that her mistreatment was not of a sexual nature, she acknowledged that there were moments that she felt were in poor taste.
Schneider, who has faced allegations of inappropriate conduct during his tenure at Nickelodeon, has since admitted that he owes apologies to certain individuals, including Justice. Despite this acknowledgment, Justice revealed that she and Schneider are not in regular contact, with their interactions limited to occasional reunions and birthday texts.
Reflecting on her complex relationship with Schneider, Justice expressed gratitude for the opportunities he provided her as a young actor. She acknowledged that Schneider played a significant role in launching her career and changing her life, but also emphasized that she does not condone his past behavior.
While Schneider has expressed regret for his actions and stated that he wishes he could go back and make amends, Justice highlighted the importance of recognizing past mistakes and learning from them. She noted that Schneider's apology indicates a recognition of the need for change and growth in his interactions with others.
As the conversation around accountability and treatment of individuals in the entertainment industry continues, Justice's candid reflections shed light on the complexities of navigating relationships with influential figures while also advocating for respect and fairness in the workplace.
