Dan Schneider Files Defamation Lawsuit Over ‘Quiet on Set’

His lawyers called the docuseries a “hit job,” according to a new TMZ report, claiming he was portrayed unfairly for “clickbait, ratings, and views — or simply put, money” alongside other convicted child sex offenders who worked on some of the Nickelodeon shows.

“Schneider had no knowledge of their abuse, was not complicit in the abuse, condemned the abuse once it was discovered and, critically, was not a child sexual abuser himself.”

The screenwriter is seeking unspecified damages for mental distress he suffered and financial losses he endured.
