Dan Schneider Can Proceed With ‘Quiet on Set’ Defamation Suit, Judge Rules

A judge in California has dismissed an effort to toss Dan Schneider's defamation lawsuit against the makers of the docuseries, 'Quiet on Set.'

Dan Schneider ’s defamation suit against the makers of the bombshell docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, will be allowed to continue, a California judge ruled late last week. Judge Chowdhury, however, ruled that Schneider’s case was not brought “on frivolous grounds, simply to harass defendants,” adding that it was “not the type of baseless lawsuit… that the anti-Slapp statute was designed to weed out.” In the ruling issued last week, Judge Chowdhury said Schneider had since “shown that his claim has at least ‘minimal merit,’” and has “pointed to a substantial amounts of evidence that could support his theory of implied defamation.”
