‘Zoey 101’ alum Matthew Underwood speaks out about his sexual assault and defends Dan Schneider following ‘Quiet on Set’ release
Zoey 101 alum Matthew Underwood shared his sexual assault story in the wake of Investigation Discovery’s four-part docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
Underwood also alleged that he’d been “molested by my best friends’ stepfather” at age 12 and further explained that he chose to speak up about his history of assault and harassment after receiving intense public criticism, saying “many people have been blowing up email” and calling him a “pedophile defender” for remaining silent after the release of Quiet on Set.
“I have nothing to add to the conversation that anyone would care to hear,” Underwood said. “I like to believe people have the capacity to be better humans and Dan appears to recognize that he had been an asshole in his past. I like to believe he is fully capable of being a creator and coworker everyone can enjoy working with.”After Underwood felt his words were being taken out of context as a defense of Schneider, he redirected fans to a lengthy response he shared via Reddit.
