        I mean, other than 4chan jokes there is practically no proof of any sexual misconduct. Yes, he is a weirdo and is known to verbally abuse subordinates, but AFAIK that’s that.

          Nickelodeon was concerned enough to offer Jeannette McCurdy a lot of money to shut her up. She doesn’t use his name, but does describe an incident where it is clearly him pressuring her into drinking alcohol in her book. What she describes is similar to what other victims have described.

          We also know that Brian Peck assaulted Drake Bell, and that almost everyone on set knew about it. There’s evidence of a culture of coercion and silence.
