For many children who dreamt of Hollywood stardom in the 1990s and 2000s, landing a job on the Nickelodeon network was their number-one goal. The prized contract promised fame and fortune, with the network launching the careers of stars such as Amanda Bynes, Ariana Grande and Emma Roberts.
However, a new docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, claims there was a sinister side to Nickelodeon.
The five-part series details allegations of assault and sexual misconduct within the network.
One actor Drake Bell, from Drake & Josh, shared that he was repeatedly molested by the network's dialogue coach, Brian Peck, when he was 15.
"I often look back at that time and wonder how in the world I survived," Drake, now 37, said.
"I remember all of the abusive events, but everything outside of that is very blurry to me, which is a bummer because I experienced a lot of great things in my life and my career during this time." Drake added that the abuse began when Peck invited him over to his house for acting lessons.
