Dan Schneider addresses allegations of a toxic workplace on Nickelodeon

Former Nickelodeon show creator and writer Dan Schneider is addressing allegations of inappropriate behavior.

"Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network. Had there been any scenes or outfits that were inappropriate in any way, they would have been flagged and blocked by this multilayered scrutiny," a spokesperson for the producer said in a statement shared with USA TODAY Monday.

Schneider shared his reactions in a YouTube video posted on his DanWarp account on Tuesday.

"The main thing that I would change is how I treat people and everyone. I definitely at times didn’t give people the best of me. I didn’t show enough patience. I could be cocky and definitely overambitious and sometimes just straight up rude and obnoxious, and I am so sorry that I ever was," Schneider said.
