Drake Bell Reflects On ‘Quiet On Set’ & Revelations Of Abuse A Year After Docuseries’ Release: “A Roller Coaster Of Emotions”


A year after the release of 'Quiet on Set,' Drake Bell said he has experienced a 'roller coaster of emotions' amid the support he's received.

I don’t want to sugarcoat it and make the message, ‘Hey, all you got to do is just tell somebody and get your story out and when you wake up the next day, it’s going to be gone and everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to walk through life without any pain or sorrow or sadness!’ It’s always going to be there, but it’s a lot nicer getting support.” Among those who had penned letters were James Marsden, Taran Killam and Boy Meets World actors Will Friedle and Rider Strong, with whom Peck previously worked. Peck was arrested in 2003 on 11 charges, including sodomy, lewd act upon a child 14 or 15 by a person 10 years older and oral copulation by anesthesia or controlled substance, but the minor was never named until the release of Quiet on Set, where Bell spoke of the abuse — which occurred during his tenure on The Amanda Show at the turn of the millennium — for the first time.
