Ariana Grande finally breaks the silence and speaks out about the abuse allegations made in the documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV”.
Ariana Grande finally breaks the silence and reveals she is “upset” about the “insinuations” made about her time at Nickelodeon in the documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV”.
The singer did not participate in Discovery’s documentary series detailing allegations of harassment, sexual assault, racism, and misogyny behind the scenes of some of television’s most popular children’s programs, but some scenes of Grande from her network days were featured in the documentary, and at the time of the series’ release, she did not comment on her own experiences.
Now, for the first time, Grande has spoken on the matter in the podcast Podcrushed with Penn Badgley and said she’s having to rethink her time on “Victorious“, a Nickelodeon show she starred in from 2010 to 2013.
“I think we had some very special memories and felt very privileged to be able to create these roles and become part of something that was so special to many children”; however, the star admitted she’s “reprocessing” her relationship with teen comedy after seeing some of the things she was told to say and do.
“I think the environment needs to be safer for kids to act, and I think there should be therapists,” said Grande, who was cast in “Victorious” at just 14 years old. “I think parents should have permission to be wherever they want.”
Grande acknowledged that child stars can be influenced by adults’ reactions without fully understanding what’s going on and said the “Victorious” cast was convinced by the show’s executives that their mature humor and innuendos “were the cool thing about us.” “Now, looking back on some clips, I’m like, ‘Is that… wow, really?'” “I think I’m upset, yeah,” she declared.
“There’s not a word about the survivors who have spoken out about how devastating it is to hear about this,” she concluded. “I just think the environment needs to be much safer. Like I said, I’m still in real time processing my relationship with it.”
