Dan Schneider’s defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery and producers of ID Discovery’s Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV documentary is moving forward. The beleaguered television producer, whom many in the documentary accuse of running a hostile workplace and whom many believe to be pretty creepy because his work seemingly kept returning to an interest in his young stars’ feet, claims that the documentary falsely accused him of sexually abusing the children who worked on his television shows.
Apparently, the last hurdle was an attempt by Warner Bros. Discovery and Maxine Productions, the documentary’s producers, to have the case dismissed. L.A. Superior Court Judge Ashfaq G. Chowdhury dismissed their attempts at dismissal. “This is manifestly not a case brought by Schneider on frivolous grounds, simply to harass defendants,” the court’s ruling found. “He’s suing defendants about a documentary they made about him, that focuses on his activities, and, which a reasonable viewer might conclude makes damning implications about his conduct.”
