Monet emphasised that she has always been an enthusiastic supporter of her colleagues, stating, “I’ve always been their biggest cheerleader.” Despite the passage of time, the actress has maintained close connections with many members of the *Victorious* cast, keeping herself updated on their professional journeys.
Reflecting on her co-stars’ achievements, Monet highlighted her recent experiences of attending a concert by Leon Thomas III, who was also part of the *Victorious* ensemble. She described the performance as “mind-blowing” and was thrilled to bring along fellow cast members to experience the event. “Leon blew my mind,” she said, adding that the concert included a special backstage visit.
The actress revealed that the nostalgia of their time together on *Victorious* remains significant for all involved. “The kids on this show have grown up with *Victorious*. We all have such a good place in our hearts for it,” she remarked. Monet expressed her sense of pride in her current ventures, stating, “I’m really proud of what I’m able to do now.”
Not only has Monet continued to pursue her career in the entertainment industry, but she is also stepping into a production role. She is set to star in and produce a much-anticipated spin-off called *Hollywood Arts*, which will feature her character Trina Vega as she returns to her roots as a teacher at the fictional performing arts school. Monet hinted that the series may include appearances from some beloved faces from the original show.
“I feel so grateful and lucky to work alongside such talented people,” Monet noted. She recognised that *Victorious* served as a launching pad for many of her colleagues, who have since carved out successful paths in various facets of the entertainment industry. “They’re all in the verticals that serve them the best right now. I watch, and I am in awe of all of them,” she added.
Monet spoke fondly of her former castmates, noting their individual accomplishments. She praised Ariana Grande for her incredible musical career and Victoria Justice for her continued performances and film projects. Monet expressed particular affection for Liz Gillies, a close friend, describing her as exceptionally talented. She was equally thrilled for Matt Bennett, who has been successfully selling out large venues for his concerts.
Since *Victorious* concluded, Monet herself has kept busy with projects in television and film. Along with her acting career, she has amassed a significant following on social media, boasting over 7.5 million followers across various platforms, which has helped her collaborate with brands.
Recently, Monet joined the “Dump Your Dish Drama” campaign from method, aimed at helping couples tackle common dish-related disagreements. “It’s a small thing,” she remarked, “but I’m also getting recognised by brands like method, which are household names.” She expressed her gratitude for the opportunities that continue to arise, noting that they align well with her personal and professional growth.
As Monet reflects on her journey since *Victorious*, she remains optimistic and enthusiastic about her future projects while celebrating the achievements of her former co-stars. The bonds formed during their time on the show have evidently left a lasting impact on her, and she continues to cheer for the success of her friends both on and off the screen.
