The “victorious” graduate Daniella Monet hits the “sexualized” scenes
Nickelodeon gave her a nice pickle.
The “victorious” graduate Daniella Monet attacked the television network for allegedly forcing her to participate in scenes she believed to be “sexualized” despite her refusals.
The actress who played Trina Vegas in the children’s sitcom from 2010 to 2013 Insider said in an interview on Tuesday that “Victorious” was “very PC, funny, stupid, friendly, laid back,” but at times there were dubious moments.
“Would I wish some things, for example, had to be sexualized this way? Yes, 100 percent, ”said Monet, 33, referring to the time she contacted Nickelodeon about the scene where her character ate a cucumber while applying lip gloss.
Monet said she was worried the scene was too sexual to be aired, but the channel allegedly ignored her concerns.
She also enlisted the show’s creator, Dan Schneider, for making decisions she deemed inappropriate for her age.
Schneider, who was also the originator of “iCarly” and “Zoey 101,” dressed the children’s stars in “skimpy” clothes as a signature person in all costumes, according to the Insider report.
Page Six asked Nickelodeon for comment.
Monet’s comments about Nickelodeon’s excessive sexualization of children come after her partner Jennette McCurdy revealed in her memorable diary, “I’m glad my mom died,” that network workers were behaving inappropriately.
McCurdy, 30, said she was forced to drink alcohol at the age of 18 and received unsolicited messages from her manager at the company. She also claimed to have been offered $ 300,000 in tacit money so as not to talk publicly about her tenure at Nickelodeon.
And last week, “Zoey 101” star Alexa Nikolas called Nickelodeon a “traumatic” and “dangerous” environment.
Nikolas, 30, described Schneider, 56, in particular as “the creator of childhood trauma.”
“I didn’t feel safe around Dan Schneider when I was working at Nickelodeon,” she said.
The actress is now asking the networks to throw out the nondisclosure agreements she believes are harmful to child stars.
