Kiddie Network Cuts Ties With ‘Troubling’ Producer

The popular children's network Nickelodeon has shocked the industry by abruptly parting ways with veteran producer Dan Schneider — a former child star who's launched their most successful shows while being hit with troubling accusations!

Nickelodeon bosses said it was “the natural time” to quit working with Schneider and his Schneider’s Bakery production company, adding: “We thank Dan and his producers, executives and social media team for their immeasurable contributions to Nickelodeon, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors.” Some insiders, however, believe that Schneider was a casualty of the #MeToo movement in Hollywood!

Schneider's successes include classic kiddies shows including "The Amanda Show," "Drake & Josh," "iCarly," and more. It was an astonishing second act after his own career as a teen actor on the '80s sitcom "Head of the Class." Schneider's own reputation suffered, however, as former stars like Amanda Bynes, Jamie Lynn Spears, Emma Roberts went on to teen pregnancies, domestic violence arrests, nude photos scandals, and more!

Activists began to blast Schneider for inappropriate content on his shows — including scantily-clad girls, disturbing sexual double entendres, and bizarre show promotions that included asking young girls to send in photos of their bare feet.

Even mainstream outlets such as Deadline Hollywood have noted the "cloud of suspicion" that's risen around Schneider, and TV Guide reported on the producer's "troubling behavior" while also noting the split could be a consequence of the #MeToo movement. Insiders, however, have also noted that Schneider had been arguing with Nickelodeon over recent changes in backlot production. Nickelodeon did not comment on any rumors.
