Drake Bell is coming Josh PeckHer defense after fans criticized her former co-star for remaining silent amid his sexual abuse story… basically telling everyone to back off.
The former Nick star went online on Wednesday to clarify his stance with Josh… and he confirmed that JP did, in fact, reach out to him after his appearance on ‘Quiet on the Set’ – even though almost everyone assumed that no.
Drake– who opened on being molested as a teenager by former Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck in the docu-series – says he’s noticed the hateful comments flooding Josh’s social media accounts in recent days… which he says are unwarranted.
As Drake says… Josh has been supportive after the doc. Josh’s contact details have not been released until now because of the sensitive nature of the situation – so clearly, things are going on behind the scenes that not everyone can see.
Drake says he’s having an emotional time processing everything that’s happened… which is why certain things have been kept out of the public eye.
His update comes amid accusations that JP was purposely ignoring the damning document about his old network. The comments section of Josh’s TikTok account even featured countless fans demanding that he say something in support of DB rather than making silly uploads.
Of course, Drake and Josh have had a rocky relationship lately. The two began publicly feuding after Drake complained about not being invited to Josh’s wedding.

The two actors eventually hugged at the 2017 VMAs — but even after that… it didn’t seem like they were particularly close.
Still, we’re happy to hear that Josh has teamed up with Drake now… and we hope people heed Drake’s call to fire his former friend.
