Former Nickelodeon Star Says The Kids Network Offered Her $300K In ‘Hush Money’ To Not Reveal Perverse Acts Against Her

The following report is from The Blaze:

McCurdy was a Nickelodeon standout actress from 2007 until 2014 – when she was the star of the massively successful “iCarly” TV show and then “Sam & Cat.” During that time, McCurdy said that she was the victim of an alleged abuser that she only refers to as “The Creator.”

McCurdy asserted that “The Creator” pressured her to drink alcohol when she was only 18 years old.

In her upcoming memoir, McCurdy wrote that “The Creator” was “mean-spirited, controlling, and terrifying” and prone to make “grown men and women cry with his insults and degradation,” according to Deadline.

McCurdy accused “The Creator” of giving unsolicited and inappropriate shoulder massages.

My shoulders do have a lot of knots in them, but I don’t want The Creator to be the one rubbing them out. I want to say something, to tell him to stop, but I’m so scared of offending him.

She wrote

She also claimed that she was “photographed in a bikini during a wardrobe fitting.”

The childhood actress accused Nickelodeon of offering her $300,000 in “hush money.”

When “Sam & Cat” was canceled, her agent informed her that Nickelodeon was “offering [her] $300,000, which she should “think of it like a thank-you gift.”

She said one of her managers told her,

They’re giving you $300,000 and the only thing they want you to do is never talk publicly about your experience at Nickelodeon.

McCurdy claimed that the “hush money” was “specifically related to The Creator.”

The actress who played the character Sam Puckett on “iCarly” rejected the offer despite her team contending that it was “free money.” McCurdy fired back,

No it’s not. This isn’t free money. This feels to me like hush money…I’m not taking hush money.

What the f***? Nickelodeon is offering me $300,000 in hush money to not talk publicly about my experience on the show? My personal experience of The Creator’s abuse? This is a network with shows made for children. Shouldn’t they have some sort of moral compass? Shouldn’t they at least try to report to some sort of ethical standard?

I lean back against the headboard of my bed and cross my legs out in front of me. I extend my arms behind my head and rest them there in a gesture of pride. Who else would have the moral strength? I just turned down $300,000.

Dan Schneider was the award-winning producer of “iCarly” and “Sam & Cat.”

After 20 years, Nickelodeon and Schneider parted ways in 2018 despite him producing some of Nickelodeon’s most beloved TV shows.

Deadline reported last year, “At the time, Nickelodeon was the highest-rated network on basic cable, and Schneider was the most successful producer in children’s television, with a resume that included the creation and production of such hit shows as ‘iCarly,’ ‘Drake & Josh,’ ‘Victorious,’ ‘Kenan & Kel,’ and ‘Henry Danger.'”

The New York Times interviewed Schneider in 2021, and asked him about allegations that he sexualized child actors.

Schneider denied ever sexualizing child actors and called the accusations “ridiculous.”

“The comedy was totally innocent,” Schneider told the New York Times.

I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t have the long-term friendships and continued loyalty from so many reputable people if I’d mistreated my actors of any age, especially minors.

Schneider told the newspaper.

An investigation of workplace abuse allegations against Schneider by Nickelodeon’s parent company, ViacomCBS, found that there was never any sexual misconduct.

In her new book, McCurdy also claimed that she was exploited – including by her own mother.

My whole childhood and adolescence were very exploited. There were cases where people had the best intentions and maybe didn’t know what they were doing. And also cases where they did — they knew exactly what they were doing.

McCurdy told the New York Times

McCurdy, 30, said that her mother “failed to protect her” when she was a child.

When McCurdy informed her mother that she was being exploited, Debra McCurdy allegedly replied that this “was the price of showbiz success.”

“Everyone wants what you have,” the mother allegedly told her daughter.

The Nickelodeon star had a tumultuous relationship with her mother. McCurdy’s book is titled “I’m Glad My Mom Died.”

Debra McCurdy died of breast cancer on Sept. 20, 2013.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

In a separate piece by Insider, McCurdy said that she grew up in a Mormon home. Prior to this book’s release I had listened to some of her testimonials of what is was like to work for Nickelodeon, and being pushed by her hypocritical and deranged mother to do so, and it’s most certainly unfortunate.

What McCurdy has described is nothing new for Nickelodeon, Disney, and Hollywood in general. It is a super perverted world, and so many people think they want that life until they realize what the whole industry is about; and if they get really popular their handlers force them into even more insidious acts, and make them do things they never signed-up for or could dream of.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Luke 16:15

And now McCurdy, like so many others, were raised in these sacrilegious homes and then later turn into atheists, and resent and despise her family.

As for Schneider, there are tons of videos online exposing that the man was a total pervert, as many other actors have since spoken against him. Even if Schneider never directly did something perverted to them, he’d make the actors and actresses do some really perverse and disgusting things, which of course is designed to normalize perversion amongst the youth (see below).

But this is par for the course for Nickelodeon. They have been pushing perversion and abominations for a very longtime.
