I realize I'm a bit late on the train here, that is because we only found out recently about this whole situation.
About a year ago, in March 2016, Angelique Bates shared some pretty... saddening information.
If you don't know who Angelique Bates is, she was one of the original cast members of the popular sketch comedy show, Nickelodeon's pride and joy, "All That". Angelique Bates was a cast member for seasons one and two, and left the show after the second season, being replaced by young little Amanda Bynes. Many people wondered why Angelique Bates left the show, and only recently after 20 years has she spoken out about it.
From what she says, she was a victim of child abuse on set of the show.
Let that sink in for a moment. It may be hard to believe, but here's what Angelique herself has to say. According to The Grio, she says:
She was abused by producers, cast members, even her own mother.
The weird part is, this was around the time the All That reunion special was in the works for The Splat, and Bates was actually originally going to be apart of the reunion, but according to her, things "did not work out". Strange...
This is very saddening, and after reading this, I don't think I'll be able to watch the first or second season the same way, maybe even ever again. (To be fair, majority of the first season is lost, but that's beside the point.)
Angelique Bates, we at Nick Relics have your support, and we wish you the absolute best in your career. We love you a lot, and we're here for you. <3

“I was only 12-years-old and that’s when my nightmare began. I was physically, emotionally, mentally abused in front of the producers and cast members. Sometimes they could even hear me yelling, but nothing was done to help me. When Child Protective Services came (in 1996) I was pressured by all the adults that were sent to protect me, to stay silent. I did, and I have, but I can no longer stay silent.”
