Drake Bell is calling out other Nickelodeon child stars for making light of his abuse — specifically, going after the ‘Ned’s Declassified’ crew … who seem to find some humor in it.
Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and others who worked on his old Nick show were recording a TikTok Live Monday – this as the second half of the ‘Quiet on Set’ doc broadcast on ID – and appeared to be cracking jokes at the expense of Drake and others.
One of the scams Devon and company. fell while discussing the ‘QOS’ document which included him posing as a tyrant, presumably Daniel Schneidersaying “give me your holes”.
Devon acknowledges soon after that they shouldn’t joke about the matter – and DB himself certainly agreed… turning to X to report him. Drake tweeted the video, adding… ‘Ned’s Declassless… this is wild… laugh y’all… laugh…” Give me your h*les?! Really?!”
Devon tries to be serious at one point on his IG Live… noting that what happened to Drake is terrible – acknowledging that it’s crazy that it remained a secret for so long.
He also says that the setting of ‘ND’ was in no way similar to what was described in the document of child actors who worked under Schneider’s reign. Still, he continued to laugh with his former co-stars… which didn’t sit well with Drake, and definitely not with others online.
It’s understandable that ‘Ned’s’ camp is being destroyed right now… frankly, what Drake and co. revealed in the document is extremely serious – not to mention downright disturbing.
In addition to Drake Abuse in the hands of Brian Peck – several other former child stars have alleged that they were mistreated while working at Nick… and others have suggested that producers and writers often tried to sexualize many children in not-so-subtle ways.

There are a lot of sketches and costumes – not to mention gross jokes – that are resurfacing now that seem totally inappropriate… although DS has denied any wrongdoing.
Nickelodeon commented, saying… “While we cannot corroborate or deny allegations of behavior from decades-old productions, Nickelodeon, as a matter of policy, investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to promoting a safe work environment and professional, free from harassment or other types of inappropriate conduct.”
They add: “Our highest priorities are the well-being and best interests of not only our employees, cast and crew, but all children, and we have put in place numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to this. with our own high standards and the expectations of our audience.”
