Former Nickelodeon star Allie DiMeco recently posted a TikTok video in which she claimed she was once forced to kiss an older male on the set of “The Naked Brothers Band,” in which she starred as Rosalina.
DiMeco told her followers that she had been “stressed” while watching “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” the buzzy ID Discovery documentary about abuse allegations at Nickelodeon, and said “I went through trauma” of her own during her time at Nickelodeon.
“There was an episode where Rosalina ‘cheated’ on Nat and kind of kissed a French guy,” DiMeco said as her video cut to an edited scene from the episode.
“I’m watching this ‘Quiet on Set’ documentary and it’s talking about how integral and vital it is to create — especially when it’s a kids cast — to create an environment where kids feel comfortable to say ‘No’ or ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this,’” she continued.
“I told them many times that I didn’t want to do it,” DiMeco added. “My mom was very against it and they pretty much made me feel like I was going to lose my job, that I might be fired if I didn’t do it. It was weird.”
Variety has reached out to Nickelodeon for comment, as well as to clarify Herzog’s exact age during filming.
Nickelodeon has been under intense scrutiny since “Quiet on Set” started airing earlier this month due to many allegations of abuse brought forward by former network stars.
“I find it pretty empty, their responses, because, I mean, they still show our shows, they still put our shows on,” Bell said.
