The mother of former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase has urged the public not to donate money after a viral TikTok showed him in a distressing state in Los Angeles. She explained that money would not help due to his struggles with mental health and substance use, emphasizing that he needs medical care, not financial support. She also shut down a GoFundMe, warning that unmanaged funds could harm him.
Chase, best known for Ned’s Declassified Survival Guide and appearances on Everybody Hates Chris, later told the Daily Mail that he is not currently homeless and has support from family, friends, and housing assistance programs, adding that he’s considering relocating to Georgia for further help.
