Former Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider sues ‘Quiet on Set’ filmmakers for defamation

Former Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider is suing the makers of "Quiet on Set" for defamation, alleging they implied he was also a child sexual abuser.

The suit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, describes his depiction in the five-part docuseries as a "hit job."

"While it is indisputable that two bona fide child sexual abusers worked on Nickelodeon shows, it is likewise indisputable that 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 filing obtained by Fox News Digital states.
