Dan Schneider ruled the 90s and early 2000s television; producing and directing one hit show after another. Schneider’s shows like, The Amanda Show, together with sitcoms Kenan & Kel, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, and Victorious gave the industry some of its biggest names.
However, Schneider’s golden era went downhill very quickly when many stars stepped out during the MeToo moment. It is not lost on the masses that many have stayed tight-lipped on the matter. The most prominent name on that list is Ariana Grande’s.
Playing the role of Cat Valentine on the popular Nickelodeon show Victorious, it is highly probable that Grande might have witnessed something untoward if she did not have that happen to her. Hence, her silence on the matter has always been strange. Fans have all sorts of theories and guesses for why she might have stayed mum.
Was Ariana Grande Sexualised On The Sets Of Nickelodeon Shows?
Beneath the glitz and glam of cinema, Hollywood is a dark and dangerous place. What makes it to the news is only the tip of the iceberg but there are many disturbing secrets behind the camera flashes.
A four-part docu-series titled Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV has brought the disgraceful era of television back into discourse. Some clips of scenes from back then are included in the episode which makes one question things.
In the first episode, Ariana Grande can be seen putting her hand down her throat, sucking her toes, pouring water over her chest and head as she lay on a bed. In another clip, she is “milking” a potato and making moaning sounds (via Vanity Fair).
These scenes show how stars were sometimes not so subtly sexualized on shows made for children. However, Grande never spoke of how these experiences impacted her.
Fans Wonder Why Ariana Grande Stays Tight-Lipped On Dan Schneider Scandal
A multitude of actors from Schneider’s shows reveal the sickening things that went on behind the scenes. The Amanda Show’s Raquel Lee Bolleau, All That cast member Leon Frierson, and Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas are a few of those names (via Vanity Fair).
Fans are curious as to why Grande might choose to be silent on this one. One of the fans on Reddit suggested that it was probably because of some contract, saying:
“Probably signed the NDA after she left nickelodeon.”

Contracts, legal issues, choosing to move on; all sorts of things are plausible. It remains unsaid that Grande’s influence can drive this matter home. But at the end of the day, it is her choice. Whatever might have occurred are her experiences, they are personal and could have left her traumatized in a way people won’t understand.
