Patti LaBelle almost punches the wife of disgraced Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider in new clip

The resurfaced video gained new notoriety after user X revealed that the woman who told LaBelle that “paper is bad” during a 2008 taping of “The Tyra Banks Show” is the wife of disgraced producer Dan Schneider Nickelodeon and the series’ principal character in the new headline-grabbing documentary “Silence on Set: The Dark Side of Children’s Television.”

This scene is familiar to Patti LaBelle fans. The Philadelphia songbird, who has sold 50 million records worldwide and has been a global star for greater than seventy years, was about to burn celebrity baker Lisa Lillien.

In December 2008, the “Lady Marmalade” singer appeared on the popular talk show and, as a consequence of her cooking and baking skills, was invited to a tasting with actress and cupcake chef Lisa Lillien.

In the video, Aunt Patti picks up one of the cupcakes and says, “That’s paper,” before smelling it.

Lillien jokes, “You can’t eat the paper.”

“No,” the outraged Grammy winner said, faking it for the camera. “But you can touch it with your hands.”

“That’s true,” Lillien said, further explaining the two types of cake mixes she uses.

As she talks, Patti rolls her eyes and makes funny faces at the chef’s boldness in assuming that she’s going to eat the cupcake wrapper. “Eat the newspaper? “Girl,” LaBelle said in a dazed tone.

Tyra Banks joined in the fun and asked, “What’s Patti saying?”

Lillien turns to the veteran singer and is surprised by the query everyone has been waiting for until Patti asks: “What makes you think I can eat a newspaper, boo?”

Instead of responding, Lillien responded to LaBelle like she was a baby. “Because you can’t eat paper. Out of paper. Bad paper; the cake is good. You were the one who asked me to eat the newspaper,” she said in a condescending tone.

Surprised that the woman still didn’t understand, LaBelle turned to the crowd and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

In 2023, while appearing on one other talk show, “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” LaBelle expressed fury at the chef during the episode.

She told Hudson: “The girl thought I used to be going to eat the paper out of the cupcake. How badly I desired to hit that heifer. She said, “Mrs. LaBelle, please don’t eat the newspaper.” I said, “What’s fallacious with you, honey? I do not eat paper.”

Lillien’s husband’s appearance in the news has given the clip new life, and increasingly individuals are speaking out on social media about the disaster that happened over a decade ago.

“The idea that Dan Schneider’s wife is the same one who tried Patti LaBelle on the ‘paper bad, cupcakes good’ thing on Tyra’s show makes a lot of sense to me. I’m so glad Patti was checking in on her in real time,” person sent.

“Two Nasty and Rotten Ghosts,” they continued.

Other person he tweeted“Patti was a second away from turning into Patti’s cake.”

Although Lillien, who has been married to Dan Schneider since 2002, played a key role in “Papergate,” she was not mentioned alongside her husband in the Nickelodeon documentary.

Several young stars of the kid’s network have spoken about the trauma, exploitation, pedophilia and emotional abuse they experienced on the job in the Nineties and 2000s.

Bryan Hearne, Giovonnie Samuels and Drake Bell are some of the actors who’ve expressed support for the outrageous accusations contained in the documentary.

Others criticize the docuseries, saying that the parents of children who suffered violence on set must have taken higher care of their young stars. The loudest voice is Angel Massey, mother of “Zoey 101” star Chris Massey and “That’s So Raven” star Kyle Massey.

She wrote on social media: “Dan Schneider, you might be amazing. You are genius. I can not thank this guy enough for the opportunity he gave my son @chrismasseytmb and my family. Blame the parents, not Dan.

Her son Chris, 34, also spoke out online, asking people to not contact him about his mother’s position. Meanwhile, it appears Kyle, 32, hasn’t posted to his Instagram page since 2022. Most recently, Chris common a photograph of his brother Kyle, their mother Angel, and their grandfather.
