‘All That’ Star Lori Beth Denberg Says Dan Schneider Showed Her Porn And Had Phone Sex With Her
Dan Schneider, the dude responsible for creating some of your favorite Nickelodeon shows, is truly an awful human being. He’s facing several accusations of inappropriate behavior on set years ago.
The recent ‘Quiet on Set‘ docuseries highlighted just how uncomfortable Schneider made things on set while working with the child actors.
But the most damaging accusations against him directly might just now be coming out. In a new interview with Business Insider, 48-year-old actress Lori Beth Denberg accused Schneider of essentially grooming her while she worked on All That.
She says that when she was 19, Schneider made her watch porn with him inside his office. “I feel like that is the first time he preyed on me,” she recalled. She says it became a bit of tradition and they watched porn together several more times.
And once filming of ‘All That’ moved to Los Angeles, she would often stay the night at his home, where things got creepier…
She claimed to Business Insider that things went further one night as they were watching ‘Jeopardy!’ They allegedly made a bet about who could solve the most puzzles, with a massage being the prize. After Schneider won, Denberg alleged that he fondled her breasts and put his mouth on them.
In addition to that, she claims they once had phone sex. This all going down when she was 19 and still working on the show he was in charge of.
Denberg said she publicly came forward with her experiences so others would feel comfortable following suit. ‘There’s right and wrong, and there’s true and false,’ she explained.
Of course, Schneider is denying the allegations. He claims Denberg is “wildly” inflating her memories.
As I have previously stated, there were times, particularly in the early years of my career, that I made mistakes and exhibited poor judgment as a leader. If I did that with respect to Lori Beth, I sincerely apologize to her. But I cannot apologize for things I did not do.
For some reason, we don’t believe him. Call us crazy!
