Drake Bell is set to break his silence on allegations he was sexually abused as a child star
The 37-year-old actor started his entertainment career aged five with an appearance on 'Home Improvement’, and will allege in a new Investigation Documentary series he was sexually assaulted by a Nickelodeon dialogue coach when he was a minor.
A description for a preview of the show – which is called ‘Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’ – says: “Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell will be sharing publicly, for the first time, the story of the abuse he suffered at the hands of Brian Peck.”
One of Drake’s former co-stars says in the trailer clip: “To hear that Brian Peck was a sexual predator, it made me wonder immediately about who was being hurt.”
And former Nickelodeon star Giovonnie Samuels, 38, is seen adding: “Who it is, when it happened, where it happened, I have no idea.”
Drake then walks into a dimly lit room and stares as if ready to finally share his side of the story.
The details of his abuse claims have not yet been disclosed, and ‘Quiet on Set’ is set to air on the 17 and 18 March.
Page Six said on Tuesday (05.03.24) it had has reached out to representatives for Brian Peck, but had not yet heard back.
In 2004, Brian, 63, was convicted of sexually abusing an unknown Nickelodeon child actor and sentenced to 16 months in jail.
The former filmmaker worked on Nickelodeon’s ‘All That’ and ‘The Amanda Show. Both of which Drake starred in when he was a teenager.
