Legal Battle Over 'Degrassi' Documentary: Co-Creator Seeks to Halt Premiere at Toronto International Film Festival
The co-creator of the popular TV series "Degrassi" has taken legal action to stop the premiere of a documentary about the show at the Toronto International Film Festival. Linda Schuyler, the co-creator, is suing the producers of the documentary, claiming that it contains defamatory statements and insinuations that suggest she built a profitable empire at the expense of the young actors on the show. Schuyler is seeking to prevent the documentary, titled "Degrassi: Whatever It Takes," from being shown at the festival.
