[@OldFordTaurus]

@@dfxstudiosaround 2010 she walked off set of the movie hall pass, she said due to being unable to remember her lines because she was “ scatter brained” due to her abusing adderall. She said this herself. After that she decided to retire from acting. Probably because she felt she couldn’t do it anymore. After that she didn’t have anything else to do. I feel if she didn’t start abusing adderall and other drugs she’d probably be acting at some capacity today. Even if it were lifetime/ Netflix. Many people took advantage of her during her decline. Especially before it was public knowledge. She would withdrawal $100,000 in cash from her bank accounts over and over and spend it all on her “ friends” which really were people taking advantage of her.

She’s so traumatized. I feel so sad for her and hope that she recovers from the horrible things she had to endure as a child. There are probably so many things that happened on set that we don’t even know about. If they were doing things to Drake Bell, they were definitely doing things to her

[@javianjohnson8746]

Just watched the Quiet on Set documentary that aired last night...there is a REASON why so many child stars go through things like this, and it has a lot to do with things that have happened to them during their adolescent development which directly impacts their adult hood.

Amanda Bynes has a very distinct, "American sweetheart" look. Like she could be a girl at your or any high school in the US.

I see it, that’s probably why she got so far in show business. She had the look and personality. It’s sad that she couldn’t see that in herself though

Nickelodeon should be bed accountable for the way they mismanaged these child stars. This after watching quiet on set .

[@jen7973]

" they gave up their childhoods so we can enjoy ours" I am not sure where I heard that. But it hit hard and I feel somewhat guilty for watching the shows

[@cenerie]

The documentary really came as a surprise to me. I used to freelance with TeenNick and Nickelodeon for their on-air motion graphics packages. They did background checks and everything and state that since we are working with minors (I was not even on-set, I got footages from them and make their on-air spots and promos. I indeed receive photos and video of shows like Zoey 101, drake and josh, iCarly, Victorious...etc.) they have to do that to ensure their safety...etc. etc. Back then I was very impressed even though there were way more paperwork and threatening language than other Networks would require. I am just surprised this happened to kids and teen talents.

[@cb-tz8og]

Thank you for your quality work, and not being disrespectful towards her in anyway. It’s nice to hear someone finally mention Dan Schneider’s wife. It shows that she was being temporarily cared for by responsible adults who were concerned about her well being. Whereas everyone else wants to make it seem like he was taking her to live in the dungeon of his bachelor pad to be his live in sex slave. Truth is much more productive than gossip, and foolishness.

[@brittzimmer2352]

There’s a reason a lot of comedians have a dark side with mental health issues, and that’s for people who came into at an older age than her. Being a very young female having to be this clown for everyone’s amusement, often in skits looking strange and ridiculous is clearly damaging. Being a comedian is one of the hardest professions in general. That’s an identity that should be chosen once a person has more time to develop, not started WHILE they are developing. That’s not even including the abuse many kids in entertainment endure. I think her parents were extremely reckless in their choice to take her down that path. Maybe if she would have started at 16-18, things would have been different.
