Famed television producer Dan Schneider is taking legal action against the Quiet on Set creators, filing a bombshell defamation lawsuit while claiming his professional reputation has been tarnished by the way he was portrayed in the docuseries.
RadarOnline.com reported on the four-part series, which cast a dark light on prominent children's television programs from the 1990s to 2000s, with a focus on Schneider's tenure as a producer and showrunner at Nickelodeon and his alleged inappropriate behavior on set.
Schneider is known for being the creator of many hit shows including All That, The Amanda Show, iCarly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat.
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."
