Daniella Monet has opened up about the questionable behavior of Nickelodeon series Victorious creator Dan Schneider.

Speaking to Insider, Monet admitted that some of the actors’ outfits on the show were “not age appropriate,” and that she “wouldn’t even wear some of that today as an adult.”

She looked back at a time she contacted Nickelodeon to talk about a scene that felt “too sexual,” but, the network aired it anyway.

Monet noted that most of Victorious were “very PC, funny, silly, friendly, chill,” but once in a while, there would be questionable scenes. “Do I wish certain things, like, didn’t have to be so sexualized?” she said. “Yeah. A hundred percent.”

She also called out Schneider’s gender bias, noting that “none of Schneider’s shows credited more than two female writers in the entirety of their runs; Zoey 101 and Drake & Josh had zero.”

Several former child actors and Nickelodeon staffers have previously spoken about Schneider’s alarming behavior on set.
