Former child stars and Nickelodeon co-stars Drake Bell and Josh Peck reunite on Peck’s podcast, “Good Guys,” to discuss the allegations of child sexual abuse made against Nick dialogue coach Brian Peck. The accusations were part of the docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which featured interviews with actors who claimed abuse and a toxic work environment on Nickelodeon shows. Drake Bell revealed his worries about the impact of reporting the abuse on their show “Drake & Josh.” Brian Peck was convicted of lewd acts with a child and sentenced to prison.
Bell expressed relief that his friend, Peck, continued to support him despite the revelations. Peck acknowledged the difficulty Bell faced and his own realization of the situation’s severity after watching the docuseries. The podcast episode shed light on the challenges of being child actors in a potentially harmful industry.
Nickelodeon issued a statement about the docuseries, emphasizing their commitment to investigating formal complaints and creating a safe work environment. Prior to the docuseries, Bell faced his own controversy and legal issues, pleading guilty to child endangerment charges.
Despite receiving support from fans following the docuseries, Bell also faced backlash and online harassment toward his accusers. The conversation between Bell and Peck on the podcast highlights the complexities of navigating the entertainment industry as child actors and the importance of addressing abuse and misconduct. Part two of their conversation is set to be released soon.
