Mayim Bialik is giving her take on the docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. The Big Bang Theory alum shared her thoughts on the latest episode of her podcast, Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown.

Bialik discussed the ID doc with Blossom co-star Jenna von Oÿ and former Disney Channel star Christy Carlson Romano. “Women being berated in the writer’s room is something that was just like — I’m sorry — it was considered in — I mean, I hate to say it, — it’s considered par for the course,” Bialik said over the allegations made in the docuseries by a couple of women writers working with Dan Schneider. “I will say I do not believe that happened in our writer’s room, and there were things that we all thought were okay to even joke about which now we’d be mortified.” RELATED: Nickelodeon Star Allie DiMeco Says She Was Forced To Kiss Much Older Man On ‘Naked Brothers Band’ & Felt “I Might Be Fired If I Didn’t Do It” Von Oÿ noted that the claims made in the series were “things that I heard about other sets during our time.” “You’re watching what the entire culture was like,” Bialik said. “This is not what what happened because ‘Nickelodeon this-that.’ Of course, it touched me personally.

Of course it did.” RELATED: Devon Werkheiser Apologizes To Drake Bell After Mocking ‘Quiet On Set’ Sexual Abuse Allegations: “I Was Being An Idiot” She continued, “But what it also reminded me of is how far we had to come to get to a place where people like Christy get to advocate and we know what she means when she says, the mental health of children on set matters and there are things that we can do to make sure that there are no exceptions. ‘You can’t push that child.'” Watch the entire podcast in the video below.
