So, you remember the hit Nickelodeon show "Drake & Josh," right? Well, it turns out there's been some serious stuff going on behind the scenes.
Recently, there's been a lot of talk about what went down during those days, especially regarding Drake Bell's revelations about facing sexual abuse. It's a heavy topic, and one of the big points of discussion has been the silence of his co-star, Josh Peck.
But hold up, before we dive into that, let's rewind a bit. "Drake & Josh" was the bomb back in the 2000s. These two dudes played stepbrothers, living under one roof, and man, did they bring the laughs.
Fast forward to now, and we're learning some shocking stuff. In a new documentary series called "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," Bell opened up about the trauma he faced at just 15 years old. He talked about being abused by an actor and dialogue coach named Brian Peck.
Now, this revelation hit hard. Even Dan Schneider, the big shot executive producer at Nickelodeon during that time, was "devastated" by it all.
So, where does Josh Peck fit into all this? Well, he caught some flak for staying silent about the whole situation. But hey, before you jump to conclusions, let's hear what he has to say.
Finally, after a few days of processing, Josh took to Instagram to share his thoughts. He made it clear that he stands with the survivors who had the courage to speak out. He emphasized the need for change in the industry to protect children from such horrors.
Now, Drake Bell, he's been feeling the heat too. In a video, he asked fans to cut Josh some slack. Processing all of this is no walk in the park, you know?
But wait, there's more to this story. Turns out, the guy accused of the abuse, Brian Peck (no relation to Josh), got arrested way back in 2003. He faced a bunch of charges related to sexual abuse. And guess what? He pleaded no contest and ended up behind bars.
So, there you have it. Behind the scenes of our favorite childhood show, there's a whole lot of darkness. But with voices speaking out, there's hope for change.
