Former Winner and Zoe 101 Star Victoria Justice has been open about her time at Nickelodeon in the wake of the Bomb Investigation discovery documentary series, Quiet on Set:The Dark Side of Kids TV.

"What was very obvious in the documentary is that Dan (Schneider) had a very large ego, and sometimes that ego clouded his better judgment and influenced the way he treated people," Justice told Marie Claire in an interview in the 2024 issue 5. It was.

"And there were times when I felt like I was being treated unfairly," she added.

The 5-part documentary details the toxic and abusive environment within the 90s TV show inside Nickelodeon.These include allegations of rampant sexual misconduct, harassment, discrimination, and sexual assault. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, the network responded to the documentary and said it "cannot corroborate or deny allegations of behavior from the work decades ago," but the network's policy "reflects our commitment to fostering a safe and professional work environment free of harassment and other types of inappropriate behavior." It is to investigate all formal complaints as part of the investigation," he said.

"Our top priority is the well-being and best interests of all children, not just our employees, cast and crew, And we have adopted many safeguards over the years and ensured that we are meeting our own high standards and audience expectations," the statement concluded

The network's former producer, Dan Schneider, was at the heart of the documentary— iCarly, all that, Amanda Seyfried, and her husband. The show and the creators behind shows like Zoe 101 have been accused of inappropriate and abusive behaviour by many of their righteous peers, including Leon Frierson, Katrina Johnson and Brian Hearn of all that.Schneider responded to the Docu series via his YouTube page, saying it was "very hard" to watch.

"I am facing my past actions, some of which are embarrassing and I regret them," he said at the time. "I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology."Schneider has since sued the documentary's creator, implying that he 'sexually abused a child actor he worked with'," the Associated Press reported.Justice told Marie Claire that her time on the network was "not perfect" and, in "hindsight," that some of the moments she experienced were "bad in taste.""She also believes that she is "definitely one of the people" Schneider needs to strongly apologize for his actions during his tenure at Nickelodeon

"and I think I'm definitely one of the people on that list," she said.

Still, Justice considers her time at Nickelodeon to be "largely positive" and states that her mother's strong influence played a major role in protecting her from what others allegedly experienced.

The Justice also stressed that she has never experienced anything sexual", referring to Schneider's alleged habits, including more serious claims of documentaries, as well as sexual overtones, pornographic-like images and double entendres in tv series for his children.

Since leaving the network, Justice also said she has "rarely had contact" with Schneider.

"I do not condone his actions," she said of her former boss. "At the end of the day, my relationship with Dan is a very complex one: I met him when I was 12, and he's the one who gave me this big break. He completely changed my life. If it wasn't for him, and if he hadn't seen anything in me, I wouldn't be here today. For that I will always be grateful. After seeing his apology, I think I realize that he did a lot wrong and I think if he could step back into the time machine, he would do a lot differently."
