Steve Burns dice que no tenía ni idea de que algo andaba mal en Nickelodeon mientras trabajaba en la cadena. Esto, en medio de las acusaciones hechas en "Quiet on Set".

La estrella de "Pistas de Blue" habló con "Today" sobre la saga y dice que aunque empatiza con aquellos que podrían haber tenido malas experiencias en Nickelodeon, él personalmente no estaba al tanto de lo que estaba pasando, al menos desde su vereda.

Él señala que su programa fue filmado en Nueva York, mientras que los programas de los actores menores de edad fueron grabados en Los Ángeles, por lo que en realidad no había ninguna coincidencia entre las producciones.

Steve añade: "No tengo ninguna idea particular de todo eso. Me enfrento a ello como cualquier otra persona, con horror y angustia. Es terrible ver cómo se desarrolla. No sé qué más decir, aparte de que es desgarrador".

Continúa diciendo: "Tiene que ser insondablemente doloroso. El hecho de que esto sea lo que todo el mundo está hablando ahora, simplemente me rompe el corazón".

Es interesante que Steve diga esto, porque incluso antes de que se le pidiera su opinión al respecto parece que ya había estado informando al público y a los fans de Nick mucho antes. Un popular video de TikTok en que le pregunta a la gente cómo están refleja eso.

Steve publicó el video unos días después de que se emitiera "Quiet on Set", así que parece que se refería al documental y le estaba preguntando a todos cómo se sentían tras lo que se había detallado.

Steve es la última estrella de Nickelodeon que se refiere al documental. Un montón de ex actores han estado hablando de él en las últimas semanas y las reacciones son más o menos similares, todo el mundo está horrorizado y sorprendido por lo que están escuchando.

Steve Burns says he had no clue anything was amiss at Nickelodeon while he was at the network -- of course, this amid all the allegations made in 'Quiet on Set.'

The "Blue's Clues" star spoke with 'Today' about the whole saga ... and he says while he sympathizes with those who might've had bad experiences at Nick -- he personally didn't have knowledge of what was allegedly going on from his end of things.

He notes his show was filmed in NY, while the other shows these child actors were a part of had been shot in L.A. ... so he says there wasn't really any overlap between the productions.

Monday has rolled around again ... and TMZ's kicking off the week with the best Hot Takes in Hollywood!

Harvey and Charles break down country star Morgan Wallen's arrest for throwing a chair off a downtown Nashville bar's roof on "TMZ Live."

Billy Dee Williams made his stance on actors in blackface clear ... saying he's all good with it, 'cause acting is acting -- and an actor should be able to do what they want in their craft.

The 'Star Wars' alum dished his thoughts on this during Sunday's episode of "Club Random" with Bill Maher -- this as he praised Laurence Olivier's performance in 1965's "Othello" ... in which the late star, who was white, wore blackface to play the titular lead.

Billy said Olivier's performance left him laughing out loud, because LO was lambasting stereotypes associated with Black folks -- and he says he found it humorous as opposed to offensive.

Love is in the air for Scottish actor Ross McCall, who appears to now be dating Pat Sajak's daughter, Maggie.

The new couple was spotted in L.A. last week sharing a smooch on a hand-in-hand stroll with his dog ... but at the time, the identity of Ross' new flame remained a mystery.

Lo and behold, the woman is 29-year-old Maggie -- 19 years younger than her new 48-year-old boo.

The investigation into allegations of neglect regarding John Amos' care has been closed ... 'cause cops tell TMZ there was nothing they found that suggested wrongdoing.

We're told cops concluded the entire ordeal stemmed from an ongoing family dispute ... and they put the matter to bed, officially.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's estranged husband is finally speaking out after splitting with Gypsy ... and, he's promising more details are coming soon.

RA thanks his followers for their support ... before telling them the full details of his split with GRB will come out when their upcoming docuseries "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up" airs on Lifetime this summer.

Oliver Stark's not taking homophobic comments from "9-1-1" fans ... straight up saying they've totally missed the show's point.

The actor -- who's played Evan 'Buck' Buckley since the show premiered back in 2018 -- took to Instagram Saturday to thank many fans for supporting his character's recent storyline ... before addressing the trolls head-on.

Stark says he doesn't care if Buck's sexuality ruined the show for some fans ... adding the show's always featured inclusive stories and characters, so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker for fans.

WrestleMania 40 brought out wrestling's biggest and brightest ... and, even some of Hollywood's biggest names pulled up to Philadelphia for the festivities.

Model Winnie Harlow took in the action, fur coat hangin' off her slender frame ... sitting up close and personal with the ring like it's New York Fashion Week.

It's Sunday, and -- before we head back for another hard week at work -- let's take a look at some of last week's hottest topics.

On "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles discuss Angelina Jolie's claim Brad Pitt abused her for years during their marriage as well as a new super restrictive NDA Angelina says Brad's trying to get her to sign.

Lauren Graham's remembering her almost-boyfriend Matthew Perry ... specifically, the last birthday gift she ever got from him -- and, it reflected his own passion.

The actress opened up about her close relationship with MP during a Q&A Friday on her "Have I Told You This Already?" book tour ... calling Matthew not quite a boyfriend even though he got close.

LG says she and Perry would fall in and out of each other's lives pretty easily ... adding they happened to reconnect last year, months before his untimely death.

Las estrellas de "Bridgerton" están acostumbradas a filmar escenas subidas de tono, pero no a todos los padres les gusta mucho, y una actriz en particular quiso evitar la incomodidad.

Nicola Coughlan, que interpreta a Lady Penélope en el exitoso programa de Netflix, reveló en SiriusXM Hits 1 que no quería que su familia estuviera expuesta a todos los desnudos de la serie, por lo que exigió una edición menos escandalosa del show para sus padres.

Según la forma en que Nicola lo cuenta, su familia es católica e irlandesa y todo lo que tiene que ver con sexo o desnudos en el show no son lo suyo, por lo que quería una versión más suave de la serie para que sus padres pudieran disfrutarla.

Bridgerton stars are used to filming saucy scenes for their show ... but some of their parents don't really like them -- and one actress wanted to avoid the awkwardness.

Nicola Coughlan -- who stars as Lady Penelope on the hit Netflix show -- revealed on SiriusXM Hits 1 she didn't want her fam exposed to all the show's nudity ... so she demanded a less-scandalous cut of the show for her parents.

The way NC describes it ... her family's Irish Catholic and all of the sex and nudity in the show just isn't their vibe -- so, she wanted a tamer version her parents could still enjoy.

Sources tell us, Pete's handing out cash prizes -- totaling hundreds of thousands -- to some creators who worked on season 1 of "Bupkis" to thank them for all their hard work on the show, pre-cancelation.

We're told Davidson gave the money to just a handful of people ... all of whom were involved with season 1, but who weren't necessarily working on the now-dead second season.
