| The king of teen sitcoms is allegedly a sexual predator. |
It was an open secret that young girls must avoid one on ones with director Dan Schneider. Now one former child actor is writing a memoir and it could bring down the former child actor turned TV sitcom producer.
Jeanette McCurdy is claiming that Schneider watched her dress in a bikini and tried to offer her alcohol. She also stated that he always was devoted to the teen actresses showing their feet.
Schneider who produced children and teen sitcoms for Nickelodeon was fired out the cannon last year. He was a television genius for the company. His power allowed him to create an environment of corruption, pedophilia and hush money.
Her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died, details Jeanette's life before iCarly and Sam & Cat.
She detailed her complicated relationship with her mother, being friends with Ariana Grande and Miranda Cosgrove and the controversial relationship with Schneider. In the book, McCurdy details her tumultuous relationship with, and abuse by, her mother Debra, who died in 2013.
She also writes about someone she calls “The Creator” in relation to her time on the Nick shows. She says he was “mean-spirited, controlling, and terrifying” and prone to make “grown men and women cry with his insults and degradation.”
Nickelodeon, a division of Paramount Global Media allegedly tried to pay $300,000 in a non disclosure agreement.
McCurdy alleges the Creator crossed boundaries with things like initiating an unsolicited shoulder massage and trying to get her to drink alcohol when she was 18.
After allegations were made, McCurdy writes that the man was sequestered in a “cave-like room to the side of the sound stage, surrounded by piles of cold cuts, his favorite snack, and Kids’ Choice Awards blimps, his most cherished life accomplishment.”
Deadline reached out to Nickelodeon and representatives for Schneider and will add any comment received.
Schneider has denied the allegations. However it has been an open secret that his actions were known.
