Dan Schneider, the former Nickelodeon producer behind series like 'The Amanda Show' and 'Drake and Josh,' is suing the makers of 'Quiet on Set,' arguing that the docuseries falsely paints him as a sexual predator.
The former Nickelodeon producer and showrunner says the five-part ID series "went beyond reporting the truth and falsely implied that I was involved in or facilitated horrific crimes."a "hit job" and argues that Warner Bros. Discovery, Maxine Productions, Sony Pictures Television, and producers Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz falsely stated and implied that he is a sexual abuser.
He added, "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. I have no objection to anyone highlighting my failures as a boss, but it is wrong to mislead millions of people to the false conclusion that I was in any way involved in heinous acts like those committed by child predators.
Representatives for Robertson, Schwartz, Maxine Productions, Sony, and WBD didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment."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 complaint says.
