Nickelodeon wouldn’t give Jennette McCurdy antidepressents out of fear she’d ‘kill herself’: ex-child star

Salvatore, meanwhile, also claimed in his explosive video that Schneider, 58, once pulled out a shotgun to “scare one of the writers when they were working at his house.”

“We could talk about the massages. We could talk about the fact that he would literally count his gold coin connection in front of his crew who has living paycheck to paycheck,” the former Nickelodeon employee, who worked alongside Schneider in the writers’ room for “Sam & Cat” and “Victorious,” further alleged.

Page Six has reached out to Schneider’s lawyer for comment on Salvatore’s claims but did not immediately hear back.

However, this is not the first time a former colleague has publicly slammed the disgraced TV producer.

Several former Nickelodeon alums spoke out in the recent documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” including female writers Christy Stratton and Jenny Kilgen who claimed they were forced to share a salary and the former was allegedly once asked to simulate a sexual act in front of her then-boss.

Schneider was also accused of sexualizing child stars with inappropriate jokes in his scripts.

The TV shows creator finally apologized for his behavior on Tuesday and said that while watching the doc, he could see “the hurt in some people’s eyes,” which made him feel “awful and regretful and sorry.”

He claimed at the time, however, that he was not in control of overseeing his employees’ salaries.

A rep for Schneider also denied claims that he sexualized child actors, noting that there were always adults on set and the network executives were approving scripts.

“Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network,” the spokesperson said.

Nickelodeon cut ties with Schneider in 2018 amid claims of abusive behavior on his sets. He walked away with a $7 million payout.

In his TikTok video, Salvatore, 34, praised “Quiet on Set” for doing a “really good job of uncovering the details of workplace toxicity specifically on Dan Schneider’s shows for Nickelodeon.”

He admitted he was a bit “afraid” to speak up himself, but said he has realized that the claims he made are “important and it needs to be said.”

Salvatore concluded in the caption of his clip, “We deserve a better grade of hero.”
