In response to the documentary, the network released a statement. \u201cThough we cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct,\u201d it said. \u201cOur highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not just of our employees, casts and crew, but of all children, and we have adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to our own high standards and the expectations of our audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Dan also released a statement through his rep, per\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/tv\/news\/dan-schneider-denies-sexualizing-child-actors-nickelodeon-1235943950\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Variety<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cEverything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network,\u201d they said. \u201cIf there was an actual problem with the scenes that some people, now years later are \u2018sexualizing,\u2019 they would be taken down, but they are not, they are aired constantly all over the world today still, enjoyed by both kids and parents. \u2026 In addition, every day on every set, there were always parents and caregivers and their friends watching filming and rehearsals. Had there been any scenes or outfits that were inappropriate in any way, they would have been flagged and blocked by this multilayered scrutiny. Unfortunately, some adults project their adult minds onto kids\u2019 shows, drawing false conclusions about them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/03\/28\/kenan-thompson-says-to-investigate-more-after-quiet-on-set-doc\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] View gallery Image Credit: Christopher Polk\/Getty Images for Nickelodeon Kenan Thompson\u00a0opened up about his thoughts on the bombshell documentary\u00a0Quiet on Set\u00a0during an appearance on\u00a0The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218012"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":333233,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218012\/revisions\/333233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
