Female Nickeloden employees controversy 
Many female Nickelodeon employees were mad at Savino's newest movie, review bombing it and referencing Savino's sexual harassment allegations. They replied, "Nickelodeon is wrong about being involved in this new slasher movie. This shouldn't have been made at all, because if it Chris didn't do all this sexual harassment, we wouldn't have hated it so much. If any fan of it wants to join, we want them to not join."
