Josh Peck (The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh) posted a response to the Quite on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries to Instagram:

I finished the Quiet on Set documentary and took a few days to process it. I reached out to Drake privately, but want to give my support for the

I feel like he was forced to comment on this by people demanding he comment. No one should be forced into making a comment on their shitty childhood, no one has any idea what happened to this person.

I am just starting the doco. I'm a survivor so it's really hard, but I am ALSO a youth/social worker, so I feel like this is important stuff to watch even when it's hard.

Right! I was disgusted by Sunny on the view today spewing nonsense about now that they are adults it’s their obligation to speak out. Like who the fuck do you think you are and what therapist did you never go to…

[artemisofluna]

This. No one is obligated to speak about the shit they went through. People act so entitled to statements these days, its honestly gross.

An apology for a shitty thing, okay I get where you're coming from asking for it. This? Fuck off.

Social media was a mistake.

Different subject but similarly I remember when Chadwick Boseman died and people were being rude to costars who didn't post right away.

Elizabeth Olsen just full on deleted her social media because she was getting harassed so badly.

Same thing with the Friends cast taking a beat before making a joint statement on Matthew Perry's passing.

Certain people are so perpetually online they act like nothing is real unless someone makes a post on it.

[artemisofluna]

I hate that too. Like. Let people process their grief. They don't owe you anything. What if you lost someone close to you and someone followed you around asking you to talk about it constantly and never left you alone.

It would be AWFUL.

It feels like the natural progression from pics or it didn't happen.

If people want to share their thoughts and experiences and it's good for them to do so, more power to them. But I don't get this demand that we need to know right away what they are thinking.

THIS! I am so goddamn over Sunny's "I am the moral arbiter of all things good and true AND WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED!" schtick these days. She's so extreme and unsympathetic, and her fucking views never allow for grey areas. I'll never forget her siding with the Alabama supreme court's decision to classify embryos as people because she had her two children via IVF and "if something had happened to my embryos they would have murdered my children before they were born!!1!"

I hate this shit! Just like how I hate our legal system putting some much on the victims for a conviction. It's a whole second wave of shit.

[normanikordei]

sunny SUCKS lately. I have no idea what’s gotten into her because I used to mostly agree with her but I guess her head blew up from being a fan fave

[swissbeauty23]

that is so unbelievably insensitive holy shit

[hellojeds]

I can't imagine what's it like to have gone through that trauma and then be a social worker, with the appalling things you must see and hear. Kudos to you, I don't think I could do it.

[artemisofluna]

At the moment I am a youth worker in a library and I am applying for a job at a rainbow support job. But I worked at a family violence agency in the past and volunteered for a sexual assault support service through that same job, and yeah it was a lot. But being able to reassure people you have been there and there's a light at the end of the tunnel is fucking priceless so I wouldn't give it up.

[hellojeds]

Fair play to you, honestly. You're amazing.

[artemisofluna]

Aww, thank you <3

[champagnexdream]

You’re the coolest omg

[artemisofluna]

lol I am emphatically NOT cool! I run this support group for young people and one time I asked them if the cards I was playing had rizz bc I knew it was wrong and they were horrified!

"Is this fire? This is fire right now? Is this lit?"

But you see, if I am not afraid to be a big dork, then they can be vulnerable too if they need to be.

I do know what you mean too, obviously, and thank you so much :D
