As a seasoned movie reviewer with a penchant for delving into the lives of those behind the silver screen, I must say that Keke Palmer and her mother Sharon’s heartfelt conversation on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast was a poignant reminder of the complexities inherent in Hollywood.
On a recent episode of Keke Palmer’s podcast “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer,” Keke had her mother, Sharon, as a guest. They looked back at Keke’s time on Nickelodeon, particularly the show “Quiet on Set” and Keke’s role as the lead in “True Jackson, VP.” Running for 56 episodes from 2008 to 2011 on Nickelodeon, “True Jackson, VP” was not produced by Dan Schneider, who faced accusations of misconduct at Nickelodeon from several actors and writers, as detailed in the book “Quiet on Set.” Despite this, Sharon expressed that she always felt an uncomfortable vibe whenever they were on the studio lot with Keke.
“During our podcast chat, I brought up the topic of Dan Schneider’s sets, and I distinctly recall your strong feelings towards Nickelodeon back then,” I shared with my mom, reminiscing about our shared memories.
“Sharon expressed her genuine feelings by saying, ‘I found the entire vibe on the Dan Schneider set to be quite unusual, even a bit cult-like.’ She added that the adults involved seemed overly secretive, and she felt they took things excessively seriously.”
As a devoted fan, I’ve always viewed your stint at Nickelodeon as a pitstop along your remarkable journey. You were already an accomplished actor with a flourishing film career when you transitioned into a Nickelodeon star. Unlike some, I didn’t see Nickelodeon or Disney as the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, but rather as stepping stones in your diverse and versatile career. Many parents, however, seemed to hold a different perspective.
Keke and Sharon conversed about Drake Bell, who experienced sexual abuse at the hands of Brian Peck, Nickelodeon’s acting coach, when he was just a teenager on the network. Sharon remarked that she noticed similar patterns in how Peck isolated Bell from his parents to exploit him, which resonated with her own experiences involving Keke during her time as a child actor.
“Sharon expressed her feelings when she read about the Drake story, saying it was deeply saddening as she empathized with the predicament his parents found themselves in.”
In the course of our professional journey together, there have been instances where others tried to drive a wedge between us or intrude on our relationship, Keke pointed out. However, you consistently prevented such situations from happening. This often led to tension in our relationship as I felt overly controlled and restricted, almost imprisoned at times. Yet, upon reflection, I believe that your actions were primarily driven by a desire to protect me.
Following the controversy surrounding “Quiet of Set” and accusations against Schneider and Peck, several ex-Nickelodeon stars have advocated for increased parental involvement on filming sets. Ariana Grande, a well-known pop star who appeared in Schneider’s creations like “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”, expressed her views on the “Podcrushed” podcast stating that parents should be permitted to be present wherever they choose when child actors are prominently featured.
