Doesn't surprise me, a lot of kid actors have had issues. Not just with this but with various things. Actresses like Linda Blair had lasting trauma after her role in the original Exorcist movie. Not sticking up for the guy at Nickelodeon, he very may well be a creep. Although reading the comments available on that link seems people have an unrealistic view of 'teens' in America.
Oh gee, so gross all the innuendo. Or simply marketing to an age group using their own mindset. It's not like teen pregnancy is a one off seldom issue, mtv devoted entire series to it. These days prostitots prevail. Not just actresses or girls trying to emulate Amanda Bynes or other stars, regular girls no one's ever heard of. Should hear some of the crap that comes out of their mouths, these Nickelodeon shows look like Leave it to Beaver compared to actual teens.
Many modern day moms who compete to see who's sluttier, them or their daughter. A lot of 'moms' don't grow up in terms of their style and actions like they used to. Instead they remain perpetual 'teens' in their mannerisms, style, dress etc and play 'big sister' to their daughters. It doesn't excuse creeps but it's also not the case where there's all these wonderful 'angels' out there being corrupted by mild innuendo on a couple of kids shows. Go anywhere, dept stores, walmart, the mall.. examples of it everywhere. Kids who'd be lucky if they hit double digits in age wearing what barely pass for shorts with the words 'juicy' and 'hot' across their ass. Just as I think to myself 'where is their mother', mom turns around the corner wearing the same shit. Cameltoe you could see from across a football field and whatever description across her ass adorned by a classy tramp stamp. Yea, blame Nickelodeon.
I don't think a lot of it belongs in kids shows but what's the solution? Modern shows scripted like Leave it to Beaver? Kids fully dressed in clothes that don't show skin turning to one another 'well goll-ee gee.. yea, goll-ee'. No piercings, no booty shorts, no tats.. no smart asses and no ass shaking. Just pleasant, polite, well mannered children where the script revolves around them going to church. Yea, that'll really draw in the rankings I'm sure.
While many seem to be outraged, I see an awful lot of people laughing and 'following' people on social media like 'batdad'. Just random homemade clips. Not sure if either of his kids are in their teens yet. His son named his pumpkin 'blumpkin' (why does a kid that age even know that term?). His kid was wrestling with a long black plastic bag on the lawn and he comments that it looks like a huge black dick. His son was making gingerbread man cookies with big dicks. The list goes on and on, he and his wife just laughing it up. It doesn't represent all of America but more and more it's becoming mainstream and they're not getting that crap from Disney or Nickelodeon as bad as those shows have become (especially compared to the old mouseketeers).
Maybe they can explain why kids cartoons like 'chowder' had the character shirtless and gave them big dark bologna nips. Common Sense Media rates it for kids 7+ and says 'Quirky 'toon serves up silly fun and potty humor.' Whatever happened to the classic cartoon characters many of us watched that didn't sport ridiculously obvious nipples. I don't even want to know where they got the idea for "Uncle Grandpa", the title's self explanatory.
