I started and finished Quiet on Set in one sitting this evening. There’s obviously a lot to unpack from this docu-series and it would take a significant amount of time to run through every single thing that stood out to me in all the wrong ways, so I just want to quickly say this: there was an abundance of red flags with all these adults who were trusted with young children, and it truly blows my mind that 1) Nickelodeon as a network approved it and 2) almost none of the parents of these child stars spoke out about it. The ones who did were either alienated from their child or their child was fired. I can’t remember who it was who said something along the lines of “if you’re an adult who’s going to employ children, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you create an environment where they feel safe expressing they’re not comfortable with something,” but she hit the nail on the head with that one. In the 20 year time span this docu-series covered, none of these child stars felt comfortable expressing any discomfort they felt in their tenure with Nickelodeon. Jennette McCurdy’s book still haunts me to this day, and it pains me to say that she barely scratched the surface.
It’s disappointing to learn that so many disgusting things were going on behind the scenes of so many shows I adored as a child/tween, and I hope every single one of these child stars know how much support they have and are able to heal.
Dan Schneider, Jason Handy, Brian Peck, Ezel Channel, Robin Bell, and whoever else was behind these child stars being abused and exploited — you should all feel ashamed of yourselves and I genuinely hope you all know no peace for the rest of your lives.

And I remember the Nose Boy and Lil Fetus skits. Where to begin? I didn't realize how phallic the costume was when I was 8 but between the racism in having the Black boy play the superhero with a big nose and the creep factor Bryan Hearne and Leon Frierson deserved so much better.

Amount so many take aways from the Quiet On Set documentary, another one that I think it’s important is that a child should never become the provider of an entire family. It’s dangerous. This creates a matter of conflict of interest because the family’s livelihood now depends on that child getting employed and a lot of parents neglect their kids safety as long as it continues giving them certain lifestyle. The actor Bryan Hearne from All That saying that he was trying to get his family out of their financial situation so he endured a lot of uncomfortable situations should not exist. Because that was not the child’s responsibility. And a lot of times networks employ people that aren’t stable financially so they can exploit them more.
And this can be said now for all of those “family influencers” that totally exploit their kids for content. And it never vibes well with me.

I finished watching Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV around 12:30 AM, and I am absolutely speechless and mortified. The amount of sexual innuendo these minors were scripted to do under Dan Schneider's orders is beyond disgusting! Example: Ariana [Grande] was trying to squeeze a potato, which clearly looked sexual, and then lied upside down on a bed pouring water on herself while squealing and moaning. “Mmm, I’m thirsty!”, she said in a youthful yet slightly seductive tone. Another example: Jamie [Lynn Spears] had goo-like substance accidentally squirted on her face by her costar Alexa Nikolas (who's character, by the way, was heavily sexualized alongside Jamie and her character). Given how disgusting of a man Dan was, the substance intentionally looked like c*m. It was supposed to be a comical moment, but Spears clearly looked uncomfortable. Some other points:
The unsetting things the cast members from All That were put through, such as Bryan Hearne. He portrayed a rapper named Lil' Fetus. That alone is just racist. The costume and position he was forced to wear and be in... WOW. I have no words.
I vividly remember the kid version of 'Fear Factor' on Nickelodeon, but I never really watched it. Seeing some of the dares the kids had to do, such as put a live scorpion in your mouth or get peanut butter licked off your bare body by dogs, looked absolutely terrifying and, for some, traumatizing.
Drake [Bell]. WOW. Everything Brian [Peck] did to him at age 15...
"I was sleeping on the couch where I would usually sleep and I woke up to him, I opened my eyes, I woke up and he was sexually assaulting me, and I froze and in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react, and I had no idea how to get out of the situation. What? Am I going to call my mom and be like, ‘Hey, this just happened. Can you come pick me up? I’ll just sit here and wait.’ I had no car, I didn’t drive. I was 15 at this time."
There were 41 people that wrote their letter of support to Brian.
"His entire side of the courtroom was full. FULL. There were definitely some recognizable faces on that side of the room, and my side was, uh, me, my mom, and my brother. Brian had been convicted, but getting all this support from a lot of people in the industry and... yeah ... I was pretty shocked. My mom got up, she had a statement. I wasn't going to address Brian. There was no... no reason to.”
Brian pleaded no contest for two charges of child sexual abuse: "lewd or lascivious act" and "oral copulation" to a child under 16 years-old. 'No contest', man, seriously????
He literally only got sentenced 16 months in prison and had to register himself as a sex offender. That's it. What the fuck?! Oh, yeah, and then he ended up working on the Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody some time after his sentence was up. Again, what the actual fuck?!
A few of the petitioners that were stated are James Marsden (not Prince Edward from Enchanted!), Taran Killam (I only know him from SNL, but this still stunned me!), Alan Thicke, Thomas DeSanto, Ron Melendez, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle.
The amount of sexual references is ridiculous and, now, as an adult, uncomfortable to watch. I can't believe all of those [sexual references] went over my head as a kid! Dan said he knew kids watching these actions would find them funny, so that's why he made these minors do them.
The entire incident involving 12-year-old Brandi and former production assistant Jason Handy. Her mother, who was a legal assistant for Hollywood, said she didn't know if she should call the police or not after he emailed 12-year-old Brandi a nude picture (who, by the way, immediately ran to her room while screaming and then crying). She decided to not call the police because she didn't want to be seen as a "bad parent".
(previous bullet point continued) That is your DAUGHTER. I hope Brandi doesn't talk to her mother to this day.
Jason literally had a journal where he wrote about his feelings towards children, especially little girls. He admitted (in writing) that he wanted to go as far as to “r*pe” little girls too…
Penelope Taynt. I loved this character, and The Amanda Show! Please go research what a "taint" is...
Don't get me started on Amanda Bynes and everything that happened to her and her career, and what all happened between her and Dan. He got way too close to her...!
There's a lot more, but I'll end the bullet points here. I recommend watching this horrifying documentary. Dan was a misogynist, racist, egoistical, and disgusting man who had too much power. The more famous he became, the more powerful and rude he was to the cast (most all of who were minors) and crew.

I think a lot of it was that people think that Josh knew more about drake's story than he probably did and they think he was being insensitive.
Obviously for an SA survivor, that is not your first time, it doesn't count because you didn't have a say in it. Unfortunately I know this very well, I'm not a virgin, but also my abuser had a "fun" nickname for me where he called me the "horniest virgin in the world" even though he knew I wasn't.
This, as I found out was a manipulation / gaslighting tactic, I mean if he kept saying I was a virgin, I must have been, right?
Even for some people after an SA, when they have consensual sex for the first time, It can still be traumatizing, but I'm glad that Drake's story about the first time he had with a girlfriend was just more awkward than anything else.
And I truly truly do think people are overestimating how much Josh knew, because I think Drake is realizing that people knew a lot more than he thought because he thought it was this horrible secret, but it turns out so many people knew, even rumors, Bryan Hearne's mom heard the rumors, Dan knew and everyone else probably suspected something happened when they heard Brian was arrested for something to do with a minor... I mean Brian was ALWAYS around Drake.
I think Josh knew something had happened, but he may not have known how severe it was, or that it was rape at all, maybe people who knew or gossiped about it thought it was just Brian was being inappropriate towards Drake, not that he was horrifically abusing him for over a year.
Raquel Lee Bolleau is a good example, she was really close friends with Drake and she didn't even know what happened until she saw the documentary and she was horrified to find out about it, especially the way she did.
