Will Friedle, Rider Strong Reveal ‘Healing’ Talk With Drake Bell After Supporting His Abuser Brian Peck


Drake Bell's shocking revelations in Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV have led to some healing between fellow child stars.

“Talking to Drake was amazing … horrible … healing, for a number of reasons,” said Friedle on Thursday’s episode of the Pod Meets World podcast. Strong said the revelations shared on the ID docuseries were “just devastating,” adding: “The pain, hurting for Drake, and just feeling so full of regret and shame and then just start picking apart the lies … my brother called me immediately, we just sat there on the phone, [sharing stories]. “I see a kid walk into the courtroom, and I’m like, ‘OK, I’ve been lied to.’ Automatically I know this,” said Friedle, claiming Peck told him the accuser was “almost 18” and that it was an isolated incident.
