“I finished Quiet On Set documentary and took a few days to process it,” the Drake & Josh actor wrote. “I reached out to Drake privately, but want to give my support for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets with the world.”

“Children should be protected,” he continued. “Reliving this publicly is incredibly difficult, but I hope it can bring healing for the victims and their families as well as necessary change to our industry.”

The day before, Drake shared a TikTok video where he first revealed that Josh reached out to him privately. Their Drake & Josh co-star Nancy Sullivan has also shared a statement on her own social media account.
