Drake Bell Reveals Josh Peck Helped Him ‘Work Through’ His ‘Quiet on Set’ Sexual Abuse Revelations


Bell took to TikTok to clarify that his former ‘Drake & Josh’ co-star ‘reached out’ to him after news broke of the sexual assault he faced at 15 years old.

“Now that Drake Bell has disclosed his identity as the plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are dismayed and saddened to learn of the trauma he has endured, and we commend and support the strength required to come forward,” the network said. “Though we cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct,” the network noted. “Our highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not just of our employees, casts and crew, but of all children, and we have adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to our own high standards and the expectations of our audience.”
