According to the actress, she was forced to kiss an actor much older than her and, for fear of being fired, performed the scene. Allie made the revelation on his official TikTok profile (via Omelete)where he stated that he did not feel comfortable with the sequence at the time, but there was another option.
“There was an episode where Rosalina ‘cheated’ on Nat and kind of French-kissed a guy. He was a 30-year-old man. I’m sorry, I couldn’t even watch it. It disgusts me and honestly, it gives me post-traumatic stress disorder .
I’m watching this documentary ‘Quiet on Set’, and it talks about how integral and vital it is to create — especially when it comes to a child cast — to create an environment where kids feel comfortable saying ‘No’ or ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this.’
And I say, yes, maybe they express that, but it’s also more important to create an environment that listens to kids and doesn’t really make them do things when they don’t want to.
He said [aos produtores] There were many times when I didn’t want to do that. My mother was very against it and they made me feel like I was going to lose my job, that I might be fired if I didn’t do this. It was weird,” Allie DiMeco revealed.

According to Deadline, the actor who DiMeco speech is Jake Hertzog. However, as he is not so famous, his age is unclear and, according to several websites, he was born in 1986, making him approximately 21 years old at the time of the scene, while the actress was between 14 and 15 years old. Even if he wasn’t 30 years old, due to the age difference between them and Allie being a minor, the situation continues to be inappropriate.
‘The Naked Brothers Band’ had three short seasons, airing between 2007 and 2009, on Nickelodeon. In addition to Allie DiMeco, Michael Wolff, Qaasim Middleton, Emily Richardson, Nat Wolff and great cast were also part of the series. The production resulted in three specials for the channel.
