Former Nickelodeon Star Tyler Chase Seen Homeless

Tyler Chase, a former child actor known for the Nickelodeon series ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide’, has been seen in a distressing public state. A viral TikTok video shows the 32-year-old appearing disheveled and homeless in Riverside, California.

In the video, a woman approaches and recognises Chase. She asks, “Did you appear on the Nickelodeon series?” Chase confirms with a smile. The woman then posts the clip online, expressing sadness at his condition.

The caption accompanying the video suggested viewers could donate to an online fundraiser. However, this is not the first public sighting of Chase in similar circumstances.

The situation drew attention to a GoFundMe campaign created to assist the actor. His mother has publicly rejected this financial aid.

In a statement, she clarified that her son needs “professional help, not money.” She emphasised that monetary donations “would not benefit him” in addressing his underlying needs.
