Homeless Nickelodeon Child Star Tylor Chase Hospitalized After “Devastating” Hotel Twist
The troubling situation surrounding former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase has escalated once again, with the homeless actor hospitalized shortly after a disturbing hotel incident.
Chase, best known for portraying Martin Qwerly on the popular Nickelodeon series, was found to be struggling with homelessness, illegal substance dependence, and mental health issues in September this year.
Highlights
- Former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase was hospitalized after family and friends stepped in amid escalating concerns about his recent behavior and wellbeing.
- The hospitalization came days after Chase trashed a motel room arranged by co-star Daniel Curtis Lee during the Christmas holiday.
- Several other popular names, including Shaun Weiss and Jacob ‘Jake’ Harris, have also intervened in an effort to secure proper help.
“Incredibly sad story. You wonder after hearing so many stories of terrible childhood ab*se in Hollywood in those days. I pray he gets well,” one social media user reacted.

The development happened just hours after news broke that the Ned’s Declassified star had trashed a motel room paid for by his former co-star Daniel Curtis Lee.
As concern for his condition grew and calls for help intensified, Lee, who played Simon Nelson-Cook, also known as “Cookie,” on the show, personally paid for a motel room for him around Christmas.
However, on Christmas morning, Lee shared a heartbreaking update on TikTok and Instagram, revealing that Chase had trashed the room, leaving the door wide open, the refrigerator turned over, and a microwave placed in the tub, before returning to the streets.

Daily Mail has now reported that the former child star has since been taken to a “local hospital” for medical intervention.
According to the outlet, Daniel said the decision came after Tylor’s father, Joseph Mendez Jr., “instructed” Jacob ‘Jake’ Harris, a Los Angeles-based influencer and owner of Shipwreck Barbershops, to help his son.
In an interview conducted on Christmas Day and published on December 26, Harris told the publication, “I was able to finally get ahold of a crisis center that would come out and do a same-day evaluation.”

“They determined he needed immediate help and brought him to a local hospital for 72-hour treatment.”
The social media figure added, “He’s in good care now. And the future is looking bright. He just needed someone to actually do something to help.”
Reportedly, Harris became involved in supporting Chase’s recovery through his connection with Shaun Weiss, another former child actor best known for The Mighty Ducks, who has publicly battled substance dependence in the past.

Weiss has since been in recovery and had earlier expressed in an Instagram video his desire to locate Chase and connect him with recovery resources, despite not being based in Los Angeles.
Harris, who is widely recognized by netizens for his community involvement and humanitarian efforts, initially attempted to get Tylor into a “detox center” on Monday, December 22.
Shaun later told the outlet that the effort did not go according to plan and that they were unable to hospitalize Chase at the time.
“He’s in good care now. And the future is looking bright,” Harris said while addressing Tylor’s situation following his hospitalization

He explained, “Jake had established a conversation with [Tylor] and was working on establishing a rapport, which is difficult, and it can be tricky, considering the state that Tylor’s in.”
“He said that Tylor seemed to be very receptive to getting treatment and to the idea of going into a detox.”
However, the Suits on the Loose star added that Chase became “spooked” at one point and allegedly grew resistant to help.

Shaun concluded by saying, “I think a comment he made was, ‘I like my life the way it is,’ and I can assure you he does not like his life the way it is. We’re just doing whatever we have to do to sort of get him off the street.”
His account of Monday’s failed attempt was also confirmed by Jacob in an Instagram message, in which he explained that Tylor’s father and several co-stars had reached out to him for help amid the heartbreaking situation.
Jacob wrote, “They explained their love for him and how much they want/need him to agree to getting help.”
Former child star Shaun Weiss also intervened in an effort to secure a “detox center” for the Ned’s Declassified star, an attempt he said was far from easy

“He’s now in contact with all the right people to get him the help he needs. He has a hotel room tonight to give him to time to make the decision on his own.”
Daniel also referenced the CARE Act, short for the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment Act, as well as California’s Section 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code following Tylor’s disturbing motel incident, in an attempt to help his co-star.
In a TikTok video, Lee expressed, “I just feel so devastated. I’m at a loss… A third party should be able to get someone into treatment, secure a psychological evaluation to understand what’s going on, and allow them to detox.”

According to Chase’s father, his son has been struggling with ad*iction and mental health conditions, including “bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, both of which require consistent medical treatment” for “over a decade.”
The family even placed him in a rehabilitation facility around 2021, but the effort did not lead to lasting improvement.
“If the plight of this guy does not deter people from taking dr*gs, I don’t know what will,” wrote one concerned social media user

I'm the mother of a 31 year old son with schizophrenia. What most people don't realize is that HIPAA law makes it very difficult for the family to help someone that is unstable, in psychosis, and self-medicating with street d***s. Most states don't allow minors to reject medical treatment until they are 18, but it's not the same with mental healthcare. Children are allowed to reject medical treatment as young as 12 in some states, 14 in most. Yes - even if their psychiatrist, parents, therapists, etc all say they need mental healthcare, they can say no. HIPAA privacy law means the patient has a right to privacy about their medical treatment and condition. Sound good, except when you have a psychotic adult child who is delusional and doesn't want family of friends helping them because of their delusions and/or paranoia. So caregivers, family are excluded by law. Getting guardianship of a mentally ill person is a long and arduous process that costs thousands.

As a mother, im so sorry you and your child have this hurdle in life. I can't imagine how scary it is to be forced out of control of you, your thoughts, your feelings. For your brain to no longer belong to you. How desperate you'd be to be in control. When my life was out of control, I truly believed I had full control over my a*******n, what and how much I did. It gave me a false sense of power when I felt powerless. I have a very good friend that suffers with the same condition as your son. Truly one of the sweetest, most kind men I have ever met. I don't think he'd hurt ME but I can watch his eyes change as he slips away (I didn't realize how real that saying was and how much emotion and anger can be seen in them) i imagine it feels like your boy takes 2 steps to you and as you reach out your hand, he takes 3 back. You are strong, you are brave, you are loved/loving and you are trying and thats all anyone can do ❤️

All the people blaming the family and friends. From what little I've read they have tried repeatedly over the years but when someone does not want help it can be like shoveling water. There should be institutions for people like him, like there were before the pale, male and stale crowd shut them down.

Deinstitutionalization began in the 70's and was, in concept, a good idea. People with serious mental health issues would receive local treatment based in the communities where they lived. The psych hospitals that were in existence were pretty gruesome places and there needed to be some change. The issue is that the local services, supports, and assistance that were promised weren't funded and didn't materialize. The situation is now very broken and will take will and resources that do not exist.

The media (all forms) need to leave this alone. He obviously has severe drüg/@lcohol and psychiatric issues. His friend is to be commended for trying to help him, and his compassion is commendable, but this man is severely damaged and treating him as a spectacle for prurient human consumption is kinda sick. It’s also very difficult for those with mental illness to get the help they need, and NOT just in the US. It s***s everywhere.
