Keke Palmer and her mother recently addressed their time on set with Dan Schneider and shared how they felt following Drake Bell’s sexual assault revelation.

Keke told her mom on her podcast, “I honestly do remember you having a lot to say about the Dan Schneider sets. I remember you feeling a way about Nickelodeon.”

Palmer’s mother said, “My honest opinion is I thought the whole atmosphere of the Dan Schneider set was very weird, very cultish. The parents were very secretive, and I honestly thought they all took themselves way too seriously.”

She added, “I always looked at you being at Nickelodeon as being a stopping station. You didn’t get your start on Nickelodeon or Disney. You were blessed and fortunate enough to work in adult situations and kid situations. My mentality about the entertainment business wasn’t that Disney Channel or Nickelodeon was the end all to be all, but a lot of the parents did.” She continued on Drake Bell: “When I saw the Drake story, it just broke my heart because I could see how his parents got trapped.”
