Dan Schneider broke his silence on the allegations against him in the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV."

The former Nickelodeon series creator had a sit-down interview with BooG!e, who played the character of TBO on "iCarly," and shared his thoughts about the documentary by Investigation Discovery (ID).

"Watching over the past two nights was very difficult. Facing my past behaviors, some of which are embarrassing and that I regret. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology," Schneider said in the interview published on his YouTube channel, DanWarp.

"It was wrong that I ever put anybody in that position. It was the wrong thing to do. I'm embarrassed that I did it then. I apologize to anybody that I ever put in that situation."

"Additionally, I apologize to the people who were walking around video village, or wherever they happened, because there were lots of people there who witnessed it who also may have felt uncomfortable, so I owe them an apology as well," he continued.

 

Schneider's apology was a complete change of tone from his representative's statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, denying the toxic workplace and "sexualizing" child actors claims.

"Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults and approved by the network," the statement read.

"If there was an actual problem with the scenes that some people, now years later, are 'sexualizing,' they would be taken down, but they are not, they are aired constantly all over the world today still, enjoyed by both kids and parents."

 

The 58-year-old TV producer's apology was released to personally address the allegations against him discussed on ID's "Quiet on Set," which aired on Sunday and Monday.

The documentary accused the producer of "abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew" on shows such as "The Amanda Show" and "All That," among many others.

Following the release of the docuseries, a video of Schneider with underage Amanda Bynes in a jacuzzi for a sketch for the then-young star's show went viral, generating more negative reactions toward the former executive producer of "The Amanda Show."

In the clip shared by X user @dom_lucre online, a 16-year-old bikini-clad Amanda could be seen sitting inches away from Schneider.

The producer was the special guest in Bynes' sketch "Amanda's Jacuzzi," where the young star would interview her guests while they were in a hot tub.

Netizens found the clip "disturbing," and many branded it as "very uncomfortable."
