The serious allegations have led fans to revisit clips from a string of Nickelodeon shows where they believed its stars appeared to be getting exploited, including McCurdy’s former co-star Ariana Grande, whom she worked with on the show “Sam & Cat.” One social media user had shared a video lifted from the now-defunct site TheSlap.com, where Nickelodeon characters posted exclusive content that was often used in episodes to transition between scenes. A then-16-year-old Grande is seen in a segment titled “Cat’s Random Thoughts” written and directed by the show’s “creator” Dan Schneider, where she’s recording self-tapes in her bedroom.

The “7 Rings” singer engages in a series of bizarre acts, such as sticking a finger down her throat, and attempting to put her toe in her mouth, while another scene shows her trying to “juice a potato,” before pouring water on herself as she laid upside down, screaming, “I’m soaking wet!”
