Overview
- Garth, speaking on Armchair Expert on Monday, said she felt uneasy around Schneider and asked to communicate only with co-creator Will Calhoun.
- She said she did not see Schneider personally “destroying” Amanda Bynes and described broader problems around the young star’s environment.
- Garth recalled starting the show’s pilot at age 30 opposite Bynes at 16, noting the learning curve of working closely with a teenager.
- Schneider co-created the WB sitcom with Calhoun after years working with Bynes on Nickelodeon series such as All That and The Amanda Show.
- The comments land after the 2024 docuseries Quiet on Set, Schneider’s subsequent apology, and a judge’s November 2024 decision allowing a related lawsuit to proceed, as other former child actors continue to allege misconduct while Bynes has not accused him.
