More Nickelodeon stars have yet to share the experiences they had at the hands of Dan Schneider, and some of them reportedly refused to break their silence.
Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV explores the lives of individuals who worked with Schneider in Nickelodeon's biggest hit shows, including Sam & Cat, iCarly, The Amanda Show and Victorious. The tell-all docuseries unfolds the terrifying stories they have kept for a long time, alleging incidents of sexism, racism and more.
Although stars and parents, including Drake Bell, spoke up about their experiences, some of the victims chose to remain silent.
Ariana Grande, Jamie Lynn Spears Did Not Participate on "Quiet on Set"
A source revealed to a news outlet (via OK! Magazine) that Ariana Grande, Jamie Lynn Spears and Amanda Bynes declined to appear in the tell-all documentary.
"They all turned it down. It wasn't something they were ready to discuss," said the insider. "They weren't surprised by any of the allegations, though. Do they think boundaries were crossed when they look back? Absolutely."
Still, the "we can't be friends" hitmaker seemingly hinted at her own experience through a social media post.
"The truth always comes out in the end, no matter how hard anyone tries to hide it or stop it," Grande said.
According to the source, the "Bang Bang" singer has always known what happened, and she would reportedly discuss it once she is ready.

Survivors Slam the Documentary Series
Two of the survivors, Raquel Lee Bolleau and Alexa Nikolas, spoke with Indiewire and revealed that at least one survivor's take was misrepresented in the series and left others feeling "deceived and abused."
"After watching the show, I saw that it was not at all what I signed up for," Bolleau said. "I also saw that I was surrounded by people with one agenda, and that one agenda is their own success. It's a horrible word to even use in this context: success."
Nikolas added, "They made me feel like my story was going to be heard and it wasn't."
On the first episode of the Quiet on Set, Bell alleged that dialogue coach Brian Peck sexually abused him repeatedly when he was 15. Meanwhile, Nikolas also disclosed that her experiences took a toll on her mental health and self-esteem.
