Drake Bell Says Josh Peck ‘Reached Out’ Amid Sexual Abuse Revelations
Drake Bell is asking fans to lay off his former Drake & Josh co-star amid the fallout from explosive revelations he was sexually abused by a Nickelodeon dialogue coach, saying that Josh Peck had quietly reached out to him behind the scenes.
“Not everything is put out to the public,” Bell said in a TikTok posted on Wednesday.
