We all want to live in a better world. That requires all of us to treat each other with empathy and not make assumptions about people’s personal experiences. We’re all feeling pain right now, and I can understand if you are angry, but harassing people who maintain their privacy and wishing death upon their families is no way to make this world better and safer for all of us. #QuietOnSet

To ensure there is no confusion, I want to make it clear that my current agents Lauren Green and Sam Hampton of Modern Artists Entertainment are incredible humans who are sincere, genuine, and smart professionals in this industry. They have always listened to my concerns and watched out for my well being. I want to thank Lauren Green for literally having my back since I was 8 years old. The only period of my life that I wasn’t represented by her, was the year and a half I had this shitty experience with this other agent. If it wasn’t for Lauren and Sam, I would never have been on a screen again. @modernartistsagencyla @lauren_so_fabulous @samuelteel

As I have been informed my words were being misunderstood around the interwebs, for further clarification please see

He claims he was pushed to share his story in order to stop the negative comments he’s received as an outcome from the film. Millions of people are calling for the former Nickelodeon staff and performers to share their stories about what they’ve been through or observed. Underwood insists that victims shouldn’t be forced revisit their experiences in front of a crowd.

According to Quiet on the Set the employees who were adults at the network, notably under the guidance of ex-screenwriter and producer Dan Schnieder, were impacted by an unhealthy work environment as well as gender discrimination and sexual harassment. In the docuseries parents told stories of their children being put into uncomfortable situations. One production assistant sending a naked photo of him to a 9-year-old child actor. The actor was later charged with crimes that were related to child porn. Drake Bell, who starred in The Amanda Show before launching the sitcom Drake & Josh was the first time in public to admit that he had been sexually abused by a vocal coach Brian Peck.

Underwood states that he feels empathy for the people featured in the documentary, as well as others who choose to keep quiet and discuss things in private. However, he claims there are many positive memories of working with Nickelodeon and hasn’t had any negative experiences while working on the show, or with Schneider. Concerning Schneider the former, he states that Schneider seems to be realizing the mistake he made.
