Protest again: Zoey 101 actress Alexa Nikolas protested alleged abusive practices by Nickelodeon executives outside the network’s Burbank headquarters on Saturday.
“I didn’t feel safe on set as a kid, and I really hope my generation fights for the future generation,” she said.
The alleged victim, 30, who also accused her ex-husband of sexual assault in 2021, protested on the sidewalk with a group of supporters holding off-grid signs.
Nikolas feels that moving forward with a new version of the show is a slap in the face against her and other alleged victims.
When asked if she was invited to participate in the new show, Alexa replied: ‘no’.
He then added: “I wouldn’t have been a part of it anyway, but I just wish they would reach out to me to see if I was okay or to say they had my back.”
She wasn’t hired for the reboot: Alexa wasn’t invited to be a part of the new show, but she claims, “I’m moving away from it now.”
She got over the fact that they didn’t ask her: Alexa said, “I wouldn’t have been a part of that anyway.” She added: ‘I’m moving away from that now though; I understand that, like, I’m 30 and I’m actually expecting my second child, so you know… chasing responsibility is what I’m here for.’
She did this before in August: Nikolas protested the alleged off-net abuse about five months ago.
However, I am moving away from that now; I understand that, like, I’m 30 years old and I’m actually expecting my second child, so you know… I’m here to look for responsibility,” she said.
Alexa clarified that none of the cast members had approached her about the issue as they continued to work on the new show without her.
‘It just seems counterintuitive to support a network, um, that I feel was complicit in, um, childhood trauma.

Nikolas referenced Jamie Lynn Spears, who is going ahead with the reboot despite everything Alexa has said.
“I really hope to see her at a protest in the future.”
