The majority of the allegations made in the docuseries centered around Dan Schneider and Brian Peck. Both men worked at the Los Angeles Nickelodeon studios. Steve Burns said they never crossed paths.
“Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon [programming] were so different,” he explained. “We’re in New York, they’re in LA. There’s no overlap whatsoever between any of those shows and what we were doing.”
That being said, the former Nick Jr. star made it clear his thoughts are with the victims. “It’s got to be so unfathomably painful. The fact that this is now what everyone’s talking about at the water cooler, it just breaks my heart,” he concluded.
