Alexa rose to fame for her role as Nicole on Zoey 101 and is now sharing the truth behind her experience on the set of the Nickelodeon show. Alexa details the bullying she endured as a child star at the hands of both her costars (like Jamie Lynn Spears) and the show's execs (like Dan Schneider) and how she's using the experience to build a better future for her daughter and survivors everywhere. Don't miss this powerful episode! (PS: You're going to want to hear what Britney Spears said!)

I didn't recognize her untill she smiled

[kurlykaitlyn]

I heard Britney apologized for what she had done that day and admitted she didn’t know the true conditions. Jamie hasn’t even apologized. Some people go mad with power.

Alexa is so genuine and dope ❤ . Im glad she's speaking openly about all of the things she's been through.

Alexa's smile at the end of the video reminded me of that cute and funny Nicole in Zoey 101.

I take Alexis’s word over Jamie’s any day. Alexis has grown into at least what appears to be a very well rounded person while Jamie still lies for her own gain of money, sympathy, and to be liked by others while Alexis doesn’t need to do that people like her because she comes across as a good and nice person. Jamie is the devil and I cannot imagine how awful it was to be bullied by someone like her in a setting where nobody else would help you. I’m not sure why but my brain just trusts Alexis and Jeanette Over Jamie and Arianna, like something in my lizard brain has always put up warning signs around actresses like Jamie and trusted people like Alexis and I’m not entirely sure what it is that sends up red flags or not but it’s interesting how your primitive brain will warn you about bad people without even truly knowing what’s what. I really wish someone would ask Alexis about the other actress that was on like the first season I always forget her name but she was the “messy” one in the episode where they make Zoey her key and give Nicole her leaf blower hair dryer, she also disappeared off Zoey 101 and I’ve always wondered what happened

I hate bullies! Jamie is so awful to her! Just because she's the main star and her sister is Britney spears dosent give her the right to bully Alexis on set! I hope Alexis having a better life now

Alexa is awesome so happy she's talking about what happened and speaking against evil.

[n.sadequi]

Damn she really has an adult voice now.

The Jamie vs Alexa "feud" isn't the takeaway here, the takeaway is that Dan Schneider is a danger to children

[DulceBarrera]

All the shows that were produced by Dan all the kids had THE most uncomfortable, awkward forced smiles now that I look back at the shows or at their promo photos. The only ones that looked natural were the ones that were living traumatic situations at home.

[shinyoshawott]

aww the end ❤️ she still has the same smile

[fernandasoares]

I definitely Believe Alexa over Jaime 100%!

[procrastinationismyspecial]

What really says something is the fact that Jaimie’s own SISTER BRITNEY SPEARS has publicly shown support for Alexa and spoken about how she herself felt used by Jaimie when she did nothing to help stop the conservatorship that went on for far too long.

[katkaunert]

this episode was so beautiful and raw and empowering. amazing. oh and we been knew jaime isnt a nice person

[MusicEverKanekavi]

You were so much better at acting than the rest of the cast, you were skilled

[SarahLouG]

She’s 100% right, colleen doesn’t think twice about exploiting her own kids so she’ll exploit other people kids and again not feel a thing.

[MsElectricLover]

It really makes me feel something a little sad to see the stars from my childhood as full grown adults. 😭💔 Jesus time flies…Alexa is beautiful 💕✨

[RandomBurner]

lol at her name “Nikolas” 😂 sounds like Nikola Jokic lmao

[glendadiaz]

Dan Schneider should be in prison If he was a pervert to children. Whoever hired Dan Schneider it was not a good idea to write scripts for children and teenagers must have been a terrible idea. I am sorry for anyone who is a fan of Dan Schneider. I am sorry for Jennette McCurdy and all the children that Dan Schneider was working with. I feel bad and it must have been a trauma for them.

[alangonzalez]

That smile 😃 I had a big crush on her when I was kid.
