Raquel Lee Bolleau, a former child actor on 'The Amanda Show,' speaks out about abuse and inappropriate behavior on some Nickelodeon shows produced by Dan Schneider.
Raquel Lee Bolleau, who shared her experiences working on “The Amanda Show” as a child actor in “Quiet on Set,” said to NBC News, which featured interviews with several actors and former child stars who alleged abuse, inappropriate behavior and a toxic work environment when they appeared on some Nickelodeon shows Dan Schneider produced in the 2000s and the 2010s.
The “Quiet on Set” producers “did the same thing that the industry always does,” Bolleau says in the video, which had amassed over 300,000 views as of Thursday afternoon. “They get what they want from you and then they’re done.” Hearne said that he was unaware of the incident Bolleau recounted and that he had had only “one solid conversation” with her. However, he said, hearing Bolleau’s experience “hit me really hard.” His mother, Brown, called the incident"racist."
“You want me to share my story, but you don’t want to involve me in the actual narrative of change,” Bolleau said. It has been “very, very difficult” for Bolleau to face the traumatic experiences that happened to her when she was a young actor, she said.
