Ariana Grande broke her silence regarding the accusations made in Quiet on Set. During an appearance on Penn Badgley’s podcast «Podcrushed» on Wednesday, June 12, the 30-year-old Nickelodeon alum admitted that she was «upset» by the revelations in the documentary.
«Specifically about our show, I think it was what we thought was cool about us — that we went out with our humor», - Grande said, referring to Victorious.
The actress from the musical «Wicked» seemed to point out the sexual «hints» that were mentioned in the Investigation Discovery documentary series in most TeenNick sitcoms, including Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, and several others.
«And the hints were… it was like, a cool contrast», - Grande added. «And I don’t know, I think everything happened so quickly, and now, looking back at some clips, I think, 'Damn, really? Oh, damn'… and things that weren’t approved for the network were slipped onto our website or something like that. Yeah, I’m upset».
Reflecting on her time working with her Victorious co-stars — Victoria Justice, Elizabeth Gillies, Avan Jogia, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett, and Daniella Monet, Ariana noted that they created «some very special memories» and added that they felt «so privileged to be able to create these roles and be part of something so special for many young children».
In Quiet on Set, former Nickelodeon participants and employees made shocking accusations against former producer Dan Schneider, who created almost all of the network’s most popular sitcoms. In response to the criticism he faced from the documentary series, Schneider sued the creators for defamation.
Other former actors and employees also shed light on the sexual harassment they faced from other employees not related to Schneider. Drake Bell’s revelations about sexual violence from Brian Peck shocked viewers, as he and Nickelodeon kept his legal situation away from the public eye since the early 2000s.
Nickelodeon responded to the accusations from the documentary series in a statement obtained by Hollywood Life.
«While we cannot confirm or deny allegations of behavior on productions from decades ago, Nickelodeon as a policy investigates all official complaints as part of our commitment to providing a safe and professional work environment, free from harassment or other forms of inappropriate behavior», - the network’s statement read. «Our highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not only of our employees, actors, and crew, but also of all children, and we have taken numerous measures to ensure that we meet our own high standards and the expectations of our audience».
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual violence, please call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1−800−656-HOPE (4673). A trained staff member will provide confidential, impartial support, as well as local resources to help with healing, recovery, etc
