Dan Schneider Sues ‘Quiet on Set’ Producers for Defamation In Docuseries

Dan Schneider has filed a defamation lawsuit against the producers of the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," which aired on Investigation Discovery. Schneider contends that the series falsely implied he was involved in child sexual abuse while working on Nickelodeon shows. He is seeking damages and the removal of the content he claims is defamatory.

The lawsuit criticizes the docuseries for its portrayal of Schneider, particularly through manipulative editing and misleading graphics that suggest his involvement in criminal activities. Schneider asserts that he was not aware of any abuse committed by others mentioned in the series and denies any wrongdoing himself. He argues that the producers acted with malice and disregard for the truth.
