In Things I Should Have Said, Spears credits Schneider as the person who “recognized (her) talent” and “was the driving force” behind her landing the starring role on the Nickelodeon dramedy, according to Page Six. She also praised Schneider for knowing “how to get just what he needed from a rambunctious group of teens who thought that they were all that.” But Spears doesn't mention any of controversies surrounding Schneider, who was Nickelodeon's top hit maker before the cable network cut ties in 2018.
