Drake Bell Unveils Traumatic Past, Accuses Nickelodeon Coach of Sexual Abuse

In a harrowing revelation, former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell has disclosed disturbing details about his past, alleging sexual abuse by Brian Peck, a dialogue coach on Nickelodeon’s “All That” and “The Amanda Show.” Bell, known for his roles in various Nickelodeon series, including “Drake & Josh,” is set to share his traumatic experiences in the upcoming Investigation Discovery series, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

Brian Peck, arrested in August 2003 on multiple charges related to sexual abuse, worked closely with Bell during his time on Nickelodeon.

The press release from Investigation Discovery emphasizes that this will be the first time Bell shares the story of the crimes committed against him, providing a glimpse into the dark side of the entertainment industry.

Variety has sought comments from representatives of both Peck and Bell, seeking additional insights into these shocking allegations.
