In recent days, the American singer Ariana Grande opened up about her time on ‘Victorious’ and Nickelodeon‘s ‘survivors’ in conversations in a new chapter of the ‘Podcrushed’ podcast hosted by the actor Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin, and Sophie Ansari.
The creator of ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ told the story of how she got into the show and how grateful she felt for that opportunity, but also confessed that she is currently “reprocessing [my] relationship to it a little bit now, if that makes sense“.

Also, despite none of them mentioning the recent series ‘Quite on Set‘ which investigates the accusations against Nickelodeon Director Dan Schneider, she said it is “devastating” to hear stories from former child actors, referring to them as “survivors“.
In addition, Ariana Grande said that “the environment needs to be made safer” for kids. Also, “parents should allowed to be wherever they want to be, and I think not only on kids’ sets. If anyone wants to do this, or music, or anything at this level of exposure, there should be something in the contract something about therapy is mandatory twice a week or thrice a week, or something like that“.
