Today my guest is filmmaker, actress, and activist Alexa Nikolas. You may remember Alexa from Zoey 101, The Walking Dead, Revelations, and currently, her work with Eat Predators. In this episode, Alexa details the abusive and problematic culture she experienced on the set of Zoey 101, helmed by Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon. From wardrobe fittings to bullying from co-stars to meetings without guardians to pictures of...you'll just have to find out. Alexa shares why she left the show and holds Nickelodeon accountable for the abuse she experienced. Alexa and Christy reflect on how not having control over one's body, due to being child actors, grooms you to be open and vulnerable to other abuses. Christy and Alexa are working to protect and prevent others from experiencing abuse. In 2022, Alexa founded Eat Predators, a survivor-led movement organizing to hold the music industry for enabling and protecting abusers.
