Schneider is currently suing producers of 'Quiet on Set.'
Schneider was the subject of the explosive documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
He filed a defamation lawsuit against the producers of the docuseries, denying claims Denberg made in it as "wildly exaggerated and, in most cases, false."
"As I have previously stated, there were times," he told a media outlet, "particularly in the early years of my career, that I made mistakes and exhibited poor judgment as a leader. If I did that with respect to Lori Beth, I sincerely apologize to her. But I cannot apologize for things I did not do."
His lawyers previously referred to Quiet on Set as a "hit job," alleging Schneider was portrayed as a child abuser for clickbait, ratings, and views.
Schneider also stated the docuseries diminished his own reputation and legacy "through the false statements and implications that Schneider is exactly that."
