Jennie Garth Opens Up about Dan Schneider, Amanda Bynes, and the Atmosphere on Set
Jennie Garth, best known for her role in “Beverly Hills, 90210,” recently spoke out against Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider after learning about the allegations made against him in the documentary “Quiet on Set.” In a blunt statement to the Hollywood Reporter, Garth expressed her desire to never talk about Schneider again in her life, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
Garth, who co-starred with Amanda Bynes on Schneider’s WB show “What I Like About You” from 2002 to 2006, revealed that she has not had any contact with Bynes since the docuseries aired last month. Despite this, Garth expressed her love for Bynes and her wish to reconnect with her former co-star at some point in the future.
The documentary “Quiet on Set” brought to light allegations of sexism and racism made by former Nickelodeon child stars and employees, including a shocking revelation by Drake Bell, who detailed his experience of being sexually assaulted by his former dialogue coach Brian Peck. Bell, who found fame on “The Amanda Show” before starring in his own series “Drake & Josh,” described the abuse as “extensive” and “brutal,” and admitted feeling trapped when it happened to him at the age of 15.
Peck, who was later convicted of sexually abusing Bell and served time in prison, had created an inappropriate and toxic work environment that affected many child stars on Nickelodeon shows. Schneider, also accused of fostering a similar environment, has since spoken out about the allegations and expressed regret over some of his past behaviors.
Garth’s comments are part of a growing trend among Schneider’s former stars who have come forward to address the revelations in the documentary. Other actors like Josh Peck, Kenan Thompson, and Melissa Joan Hart have also shared their thoughts on the situation, showing support for the victims and advocating for a safer work environment in the entertainment industry.
As more details continue to emerge, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being of those affected by these issues. If you or someone you know is dealing with similar challenges, please reach out to the Sexual Assault Hotline for support and guidance.
