Meanwhile, Dan Schneider, the subject of many allegations in the documentary, responded to some of the content in a video posted to the DanWarp YouTube channel. He admitted to past behaviors that he now regrets and apologized to anyone who may have been affected by his actions.

Schneider acknowledged the inappropriate nature of certain behaviors, including massages, and expressed remorse for any discomfort he may have caused others. He expressed a desire to change his past behavior and treat people with more patience and respect.

Overall, both Thompson and Schneider’s statements contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding the allegations of abuse and misconduct within the entertainment industry, particularly in children’s television. The documentary has sparked discussions about accountability and the need for safer working environments for all individuals involved in television production.
