Dan Schneider Sues for Defamation Over 'Quiet on Set' ... Painted Me As a Child Predator
Dan Schneider is taking producers of 'Quiet on Set' to court -- claiming they defamed him by falsely portraying him as a child sexual abuser at Nickelodeon, and ruining his reputation.
The famed TV producer just filed a defamation lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, slamming the docuseries and its creators -- including Warner Bros. Discovery, Maxine Productions, Sony Pictures Television and others -- for falsely implying he sexually abused the child actors who worked on his shows back in the day.
Dan's lawyers don't mince words ... blasting "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV" as a "hit job." As you know, Dan created "The Amanda Show," "Drake & Josh," "Zoey 101," "iCarly" and "Victorious" during his tenure at Nickelodeon ... and in 'QOS,' he was the main focus.
