Dan Schneider, a former Nickelodeon executive and creator of popular children's shows such as 'iCarly' and 'Drake & Josh', has filed a defamation lawsuit in Los Angeles against the producers of the Investigation Discovery docuseries 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV'. The lawsuit, filed by Schneider's attorneys Jana Moser and Richard McKie, claims the series falsely portrayed him as a child sexual abuser. The docuseries, which became Max's biggest streaming hit, delved into alleged abuse and misconduct at Nickelodeon, implicating Schneider in serious crimes. Schneider has denounced the series as a 'hit job' and alleges that it used manipulative editing techniques to tarnish his reputation.
