Drake Bell isn’t done exposing the abuse he suffered when he was a child actor… as he’s set to appear in a newly added episode of the ‘Quiet On Set’ docu-series.
Investigation Discovery, the network behind the harrowing doc, has officially greenlit a fifth episode with Drake — and other former child stars from the ’90s and ’00s — set to return. The new episode, titled ‘Breaking the Silence’, promises to delve deeper into the toxic workplace claims made against Nickelodeon in the first 4 episodes.
“Quiet On Set” has already featured many bombshell revelations, including a reunion with Drake, who spoke for the first time about being sexually abused as a teenager by Nickelodeon’s dialogue coach Brian Peck.
Remember, in 2004, Brian pleaded no contest to performing a lewd act with a 14- or 15-year-old and oral copulation with a minor under 16 — but because he was a minor, Drake was never identified as the victim.
He chose to come forward now and speak on “Quiet On Set”.
The series also addressed several accusations of sexism against a TV producer Daniel Schneiderwho created several hit Nickelodeon shows – including “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh,” “Zoey 101” and “iCarly.”
Dan has since apologized for his behavior …acknowledging last week that he owed some people an apology and that some of the questionable jokes written for his shows should have been cut. However, he has vehemently denied that he has purposely sexualized Nickelodeon’s child stars – including Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes It is Jennette McCurdy.
The new episode “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” drops on April 7, and it’s a lockdown that much of Hollywood will be watching.
