Drake Bell Reveals Whether He’s Heard From Actors Who Wrote Letters Supporting Brian Peck, Defends Mom From Online Backlash


In the fifth episode of "Quiet on Set," Drake Bell shared the response to the documentary.

Titled “Breaking the Silence,” the fifth episode, which aired on Sunday, April 7, began with Bell speaking to host Soledad O’Brien about what has happened since he came forward for the first time about being sexually assaulted by Brian Peck. O’Brien specifically asked Bell, who spoke virtually from Mexico City, about Will Friedle and Rider Strong, two of the actors who wrote character letters for Peck in the 2003 case. Ahead of the doc’s release, Friedle and Strong revealed their experience with Peck on “Pod Meets World,” with them admitting they were groomed and manipulated and in turn, were on “the wrong side of everything” and felt awful.
