It's crazy that all of this is real and happened not that long ago.
Dan Schneider's behavior came out during #MeToo and then Jennette McCurdy's book. I can't help but think that Quiet on the Set is going to be the catalyst for more of these experiences being unearthed, even beyond Dan and Nickelodeon.
