I will never forget trina singing "chicagoooo, chicagiiooo"😂

The fact that Dan Schneider didn't get punished but was given millions and closed the matter says a lot. He got away with everything.

[ironshieldmaiden]

I personally do not think that this man should ever be allowed around children.

[kasey]

So glad someone is finally talking about how Dan Schneider ruined Victoria Justices career. He is disgusting.

[tiannaspence]

I honestly was wondering why does it seem like Victoria has nothing going on, but now it makes sense, she was blackballed.

[phobianxietya]

everyone used to say victoria was a bully but now it seems as if she was just abused by dan and refused to sleep with him, and probabky tried to speak but couldnt for legal reasons and because he has way more power.i feel so bad for her.

[DanHengSimp]

I feel so bad for Victoria, she didn't deserve all that

[JerKKeR]

It's absolutely depressing how such a big part of my childhood was built on an Empire of sexual abuse, solicitation and exploitation. Be it the fact that Drake & Josh had such a big fallout after their show, Zoey 101 being an absolute nightmare for the cast, Janette McCurdy being mentally ruined by iCarly and Sam& Cat and now this whole thing with Victoria being blackballed and the cast being effectively drugged up despite not being of legal drinking age at the time. Dan Schneider built the ultimate time of happiness for us as children just for the curtains to fall, the Façade to crumble and the dark truth being revealed to us as adults, realizing that our entertainment was built on the the backs of suffering and depression. Disgusting. F**k you for being such an amazing part of my childhood Dan.

When you realize Big Time Rush was the healthiest Teen Nick show because of a different executive producer.

I get so mad online when people (most Ariana stans) attack Victoria Justice. Like, the character of TORI is annoying and selfish. Not VICTORIA. Leave her alone. And yes she did have the weakest voice in the cast but it’s not her fault she was the main character and given songs not fit for her vocal range. She was in the movie “Spectacular” where she also sings and honestly she was fine there singing wise. It’s just a shame she’s gotten so much hate for zero reason.

[arianaventi]

Ariana’s Character (Kat) getting progressively child like by Sam & Kat just got a lot weirder

[mette]

I hope more people will speak out against Dan

[arjans]

No denying Dan Schneider made some great shows that are still fondly remembered today. But man was he a weirdo

[phillinsogood]

We have to blame a lot of the parents as well. I’m sure a lot of them knew exactly what was happening but saw nothing wrong because of Dan Schneiders power.

[LateshaRenee]

The other producers won’t not work with her because she’s “hard to work with” they won’t work with her because she’s hard to SLEEP with. Let’s stop acting like we don’t know how this game goes.

[LunaDelTuna]

Liz's voice reminds me a lot of Amy Lee from Evanescence, and it's surprising to hear she struggles with her identity as a musician. It makes me rather suspicious of the _creative team_ she surrounds herself with if you get my drift.

[Honeyin]

Hearing what went on behind the scenes actually makes a lot of things make since. I always noticed how victorious was never the center of attention in her OWN show

[para]

Rewatching it as an adult makes you realize how short the skirts and dresses were…

[Valeria-ttgl]

I feel like Ariana and Liz, because they had previously worked on broadway and had more experience and an idea of how the entertainment industry works, they were conditioned or encouraged to see that type of behavior/environment as “”opportunities””.Just listen when Liz said she knew she would date that producer.Almost in a calculating way.He as an adult might have groomed her, but she also embraced the idea and knew what that could mean to her, because thats the mentality that she was probably conditioned to have as someone in that industry.Its like having a child trying to have that thinking and hustle mentality of an adult.

[maureeniruke]

This is exactly why I never hopped on the Victoria Justice hate bandwagon . She deserved so much better and I always loved her ! I hope one day she gets the courage to speak her truth, however I can understand if she never does
