Anneliese van der Pol was 15 when she auditioned for the role on 'That's So Raven. ' While she is reprising her role in its spin-off, she has previously opened up about what it was like working for the network back in the 2000s.
Her entire TikTok page is filled with videos of her seemingly bashing Disney. However, she has yet actually to spill any juicy details, and her latest video has her fans demanding answers.

In a newly uploaded video, Anneliese is seen sitting at a computer desk, furiously "typing" away as she mouths the words to a popular TikTok sound.
"You have massively f-cked me over. I will never think of you the same. Enjoy your bad karma. Rot in h-ll. Evil b-tch," the voiceover says.
"Me emailing Disney after no one told me I was fired," she wrote over the video clip.
Fans Want The Juicy Details
After sharing the video, fans of the actress flooded the comments section, demanding Anneliese give details.
"Okay, but your ENTIRE page is just you ranting about Disney but never actually spilling the tea??" one user wrote.
"Babes either tell us or let it go," another said.
"I can’t wait until this NDA is up lol," a third wrote, seemingly hinting that Anneliese can't give any details at this time due to a possible NDA that she signed.
"Me waiting for her to have her own talk show," another said, adding two side-eye emojis.
This latest video comes weeks after she posted on TikTok, “Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I was asked to leave a show starring Raven…”
Anneliese van der Pol Teases That She Will Spill The Tea
In a past video, the Disney Channel actress teased that she would "spill the tea," however, she never actually did because it was April Fools' Day.
"When you're finally going to spill the Disney tea... TONIGHT!" she wrote over the video, along with the caption, "Are YOU ready for it??? #disney #ravenshome #thatssoraven #aprilfools."
However, fans were not happy about the post as it came out around the same time as 'Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV' where many former child actors came forward about the abuse and toxic work environment they endured while working with Nickelodeon.
Fans Bash Anneliese van der Pol For Having 'Poor Taste'
"This feels particularly tasteless to continue teasing as a gag given the current revelations from 'Quiet on Set,' one user wrote. "Like read the room."
"This is extremely disrespectful to those that were actually hurt and affected," another said.
"At this point, it’s bizarre how much you’ve teased sharing the tea.. considering what’s actually going on," a third commented. "It seems to be really poor taste [to be honest.] It’s one thing not to share, but this?"
As The Blast previously reported, the 'Quiet on Set' documentary dives into the experiences of former child actors and crew members, exposing what it was really like to work for Nickelodeon. Some of the allegations included bullying, power imbalances, and exploitation faced by young actors.
Others accused producers of sexual harassment and assault, including Drake Bell, who alleged Brian Peck, a former voice coach at Nickelodeon, assaulted him numerous times.
Drake Bell Accuses Brian Peck Of Assault
Bell alleges the abuse happened when he was a minor, starting in 2000 when he was 15 years old.
“[Brian Peck] pretty much worked his way into every aspect of my life,” Bell said in the 'Quiet On Set' docuseries. “I knew that my life was going to be absolutely going to be completely different from that point on."
He then recalled when the abuse began. “I was sleeping on the couch where I would usually sleep, and I woke up to him, I opened my eyes, I woke up, and he was sexually assaulting me," he revealed. "And I froze and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react, and I had no idea how to get out of the situation."
He added, “You know anytime I had an audition or anytime I needed to work on dialogue or anything, I somehow ended up back at Brian’s house, and it just got worse, and worse, and worse, and worse, and I was just trapped. I had no way out. The abuse was extensive and it got pretty brutal.”
