A Nickelodeon spokesperson told Cartoon Brew Viacom is committed to the safety and well-being of our employees, and to fostering a workplace free from harassment. As a matter of policy, we do not comment on specific employee matters, but we take all allegations of this nature very seriously, investigate them thoroughly and take any necessary actions as a result." It is not known how Savino's leave of absence from the show will affect the rest of the crew or production of the series, which follows the adventures of Lincoln Loud, a boy growing up in a family with 10 sisters The series has been a major ratings hit for the network. The Loud House has rivalled Nick's rating juggernaut Spongebob Squarepants.

Requests for anonymity will be honored UPDATE: An artist who requested anonymity has shared a story with Cartoon Brew about an earlier incident that involved Savino at Nickelodeon This took place about 4 years ago. Chris [Savino] was working with the development program at Nickelodeon. A woman close to me had a proiect that was being developed under his supervision. He got her personal contact information under the guise of "helping her develop the project off hours." He presented himself as a mentor. He then proceeded to send her unwanted text messages that were lewd and sexual in nature on more than one occasion. When she turned down his advances, her development project was let go. He is a classic case of a predatory male using his status and power over a female subordinate. AS with most victims, she was worried of how speaking out against him would affect her career and no action was ever taken
