Former “Zoey 101” star Alexa Nikolas is continuing to speak out on the men in Hollywood that traumatized her and others at a young age, becoming an activist for child actors. Nikolas notably continues to speak out against longtime Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider, who allegedly sexually assaulted children and wrote inappropriate sexual innuendos into the scripts of children’s shows. Now, in a cryptic message, she claims that there are more recent allegations against him, and that she is preparing to bring them to the public.
Nikolas is one of countless people who have come forward about Schneider, most notably including “iCarly” star Jeanette McCurdy, who has since also stepped away from acting. The latter detailed a number of disturbing on-set occurrences at the hands of Schneider in her best selling memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died.” Nikolas reveals information regarding allegations surrounding powerful Hollywood men as a guest on a number of podcasts and her own “Eat Predators” on YouTube.
This week’s X tweets allege that the cryptic allegations took place surrounding the recent “Zoey 101” reboot “Zoey 102.”
Um I just got some shocking news…regarding Zoey 101…more layers have begun to reveal themselves…and it’s not good.

Nikolas later tied the allegations to her former costar Jamie Lynn Spears. The actress turned activist confirmed she would be addressing the allegations via her podcast on Monday upon further evaluation.

Social Media Reactions
In reaction to Nikolas’ vague revelation, a number of former fans of “Zoey 101” continued to rouse a conspiracy theory that has long been shot down–that the disgraced Schneider is the father of Spears’ first child. Nikolas was quick to shut this down in her comment section.
No.

Many reminded the public to remember that whatever the allegations may be, they likely occurred when Spears was a minor, and that she still deserves compassion if she was victimized despite her controversial actions as an adult.
I really hope this only time people can separate Jamie from her behavior and we can talk about this without hating on her considering she was a minor at that time. We might not agree on her actions now, and that's okay!

Others felt that Nikolas was only using the vague wording to drum up viewership of her podcast.

Nikolas previously called out a number of other alleged predators, including Jonah Hill, earlier this year. The actress shared that Jonah Hill once forcibly kissed her at a party at fellow actor Justin Long’s house in the early 2000s. Nikolas was 16 years old at the time. She publicly revisited the traumatic incident involving Hill and Justin Long‘s potential role. Hill came under fire several months ago after ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady shared screenshots of text messages the actor sent her during their relationship, alleging emotional abuse.
It remains unclear what the exact latest allegations against Schneider are at this time. Spears is yet to comment on Nikolas’ X thread.
