Drake Bell Has 'Nothing but Love and Forgiveness' for Rider Strong After Letter of Support for His Abuser


Drake Bell shared on social media this week that he had a conversation with Rider Strong and forgives the 'Boy Meets World' actor for writing a letter of support for his abuser Brian Peck in relation to Peck's 2003 sexual assault case.

The Drake & Josh star, 37, shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, April 5, that he forgives Strong, 44, for his past support of Bell's abuser Brian Peck. In Investigation Discovery’s new docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, the Boy Meets World alum was named among actors who supported Peck, 63, in court and wrote letters to a judge on behalf of the former dialogue coach during his 2003 sexual assault trial for his crimes against Bell. In Bell's now-deleted comments, he wrote that in his opinion at the time, Strong and Friedle only spoke about Peck on the podcast because they were told that “letters are going to be made public.”
