The embattled Nickelodeon writer and producer adds that he “supported” her desire to be emancipated from her parents
Former Nickelodeon writer and producer Dan Schneider defended his controversial relationship with “The Amanda Show” star Amanda Bynes in an interview on Tuesday, saying he fully supported her decision to pursue emancipation from her parents and assisted in her attempt to run away from home.
“She wanted that for herself,” Schneider said, whose rehabilitative interview with former “iCarly” actor Bobby “BooG!e” Bowman aired Tuesday after the release of Investigation Discovery’s damning four-part docuseries, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." “We supported her,” he said.

“She was upset. She was in distress. She had had some conflict with her parents, I think her father, and she called me,” the producer recalled. “I was immediately concerned about her safety. I called someone that I knew was fairly nearby. That person was able to go and pick her up. I knew she was safe, I felt better. She ended up being taken to the police."
On a completely unrelated note, I think most groomers support emancipation, wholeheartedly.
Yeah, he sounds kinda creepy while trying to play the hero.
Why would she have to runaway from anywhere?
Amanda Bynes was good in her early days. It’s a shame she’s become what she is now. Hollyweird destroyed another one.
Probably because she was a rebellious from not having a childhood and needed a break. He may also have groomed her rebelliousness in order to take advantage of her.
She was quite good but is there any other accusation against this writer?
The fat guy from Head of the Class is a pedophile POS.
Jamie Lynn Spears, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, etc.
Why do you think Nickelodeon had to part ways with most successful children's creator off all time. Even with the money he brought in, they had to cut him loose.
Maybe he’s the reason for her demise.
Who knows?
Well, something like 99% of child stars turn out bad, so she may have anyway, but, you have to imagine he had a lot to do with her case.
Ephebophile, not pedophile.
He was around them pre puberty time as well.
Either way, rope & tree.
Hebephile. I just think we create misconceptions, because we use the wrong words.
At the time, he was 37 and she was 16.
So, yeah. Kinda creepy.
Might need to look at his hard drive.
Just send him to Ukraine...
I have friends who are deep down the conspiracy rabbit hole beyond even myself, and they believe that Hollywood itself is nothing but a giant child trafficking operation pretending to be a business. I can’t say that they’re totally wrong.
He makes Biden look subtle.
What kind of man wants to write tv shows for pre-teen girls?
