Ex Nickelodeon Star Jay ‘Lil’ JJ’ Lewis Makes Cryptic Statement About ‘Just Jordan’ Cancellation Amid Sexual Abuse Allegations Against The Network: ‘I Ain’t Giving Up No A**’
Celebrated actor/comedian Jay Lewis, formerly known as Lil’ JJ, has come forward to speak his truth.
As previously reported, Investigation Discovery’s ‘Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’ recently set the internet ablaze after exposing Nickelodeon for its allegedly sinister operations.
The widely talked-about documentary offers recounts from former child stars and production crew members, who accused the network’s top producer Dan Schneider of sexually motivated behavior.
Allegedly, Dan Schneider’s crimes included forcing massages, coercing female writers to perform immoral acts, and incorporating inappropriate jokes into the youngsters’ scripts.
‘Drake & Josh’ phenomenon Drake Bell additionally claimed that he’d endured repeated sexual abuse from Nickelodeon’s dialogue coach, convicted molester Brian Peck, which began at the tender age of 15.
Conversations surrounding the shocking revelations have led many to question how many of the then-minors were victims.
BET’s comic search winner Jay Lewis thickened the plot when he indirectly addressed the matter in a social media post. If you didn’t know, the now-33-year-old led his own sitcom, ‘Just Jordan,’ on Nickelodeon from 2007-2008. The show aired for 2 seasons before its cancellation.
He wrote on his Facebook page,
“Just jordan got cancelled. I ain’t giving up no a** lol.”
Jay Lewis didn’t go into detail about whether or not he experienced or witnessed any unlawful moments while on set.
However, Dan Schneider has since released a statement amid the controversy. His agent said,
“Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network. If there was an actual problem with the scenes that some people, now years later, are ‘sexualizing,’ they would be taken down, but they are not. They are aired constantly all over the world today still, enjoyed by both kids and parents.”
They continued:
“In addition, every day on every set, there were always parents and caregivers and their friends watching filming and rehearsals. Had there been any scenes or outfits that were inappropriate in any way, they would have been flagged and blocked by this multilayered scrutiny.”
Schneider also gave his thoughts about ‘Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’ in a nearly 20-minute interview.
