Drake Bell<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and some of his fellow Nickelodeon alum spoke in support of their parents after some viewers called them out following the revelations in the\u00a0Quiet on Set\u00a0<\/em>docu-series. Drake and\u00a0\u00a0All That\u00a0<\/em>stars\u00a0Giovonnie Samuels\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Bryan Hearne\u00a0<\/strong>defended their parents from people who have raised questions about what their responsibilities are to a child performer during a panel discussion at a screening of the documentary in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

When speaking about people who have criticized parents, Drake explained that oftentimes parents are learning alongside their children. \u201cWe hear a lot \u2018Where were their parents?’\u201d he said, via\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cSome of these were our first jobs. Some of these were our parents\u2019 first time on a set, and they\u2019re just learning along with us. So to say \u2018Oh, the parents should have stepped in with this and that\u2019 \u2014 no, there should be somebody who\u2019s experienced that can see, oh you know what, this child seems uncomfortable, I\u2019m gonna be able to take him or her with their parent and bring them over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Amanda Show\u00a0<\/em>star continued and said that it can be difficult for child actors\u2019 parents to step in with the same authority that someone with more experience would. \u201cThey\u2019re just learning along with us and don\u2019t have the experience on these movie sets to be able to push and pull their weight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bryan and Giovonnie also agreed that there should be someone on set who is trained to deal with children and help if they feel uncomfortable. Giovonnie also highlighted work by the Looking Ahead program from the Entertainment Community Fund<\/a>. \u201cIt needs to be somebody that\u2019s not just production. You need a liaison between production and parent and child,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The bombshell docu-series\u00a0Quiet on Set\u00a0<\/em>brought a number of allegations of misconduct to light, including Drake revealing that he\u2019d been sexually assaulted<\/a> by a dialogue coach. The series has led to a few other former Nickelodeon stars coming forward to speak out and share their experiences. Following the documentary\u2019s release, Nickelodeon released a statement. \u201cNow that Drake Bell has disclosed his identity as the plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are dismayed and saddened to learn of the trauma he has endured, and we commend and support the strength required to come forward,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

The statement continued, \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. Our 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><\/div>\n
