Dan Schneider Sues ‘Quiet on Set’ for Defamation

Former Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider has filed a defamation lawsuit over the bombshell docuseries, 'Quiet on Set.'

However, his new lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone argues that Quiet on Set and its trailer were “purposely and intentionally defamatory in that they falsely and repeatedly state or imply that Schneider is a child sexual abuser and committed crimes in this regard.” In a statement, Schneider said, “In their successful attempt to mislead viewers and increase ratings, they went beyond reporting the truth and falsely implied that I was involved in or facilitated horrific crimes for which actual child predators have been prosecuted and convicted. Per the suit, Episode One of Quiet on Set picks up where the trailer left off, focusing primarily on Schneider and then ending with a news clip about police officers arresting a suspected child predator, who is neither named nor shown.
