Ariana Grande talks about her time on "Victorious" and the recent abuse claims in TV shows. She wants safer environments for child actors.
Grande, who started acting at 14, was shocked by the abuse stories. She believes kids need therapy and parents on set to keep them safe.
On Penn Badgley's podcast, she shared how watching old episodes made her realize some jokes were not okay for kids.
Grande said young actors face a lot of pressure. She was lucky to have support, but many do not, leading to emotional problems.
She has mixed feelings about "Victorious," grateful for the chance to act but worried about the problems now being revealed.
Grande wants the industry to change to protect young actors. She thinks there should be better rules and mental health help.
Looking back at her old work, she is rethinking her experiences and sees the need for more awareness and changes in the industry.
Penn Badgley agreed with her, saying these problems are everywhere, not just in Hollywood, and it's good to talk about them.
Grande hopes the industry will take better care of young actors in the future, making sure they are supported and safe.
