Drake Bell spoke out about being sexually assaulted by Nickelodeon’s Brian Peck for the first time in the new docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
Peck, meanwhile, was a crew member who worked in front of and behind the camera on dozens of Hollywood productions. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Peck was employed on several of Dan Schneider’s projects at Nickelodeon, including The Amanda Show. After Peck’s arrest, Drake noted that the dialogue coach received an outpouring of support from friends in the entertainment industry, some of whom appeared at Peck’s sentencing. The docuseries went on to share unsealed letters from Peck’s then-pals, including James Marsden and Alan Thicke, that requested the judge give him probation.
Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV airs on ID Sunday, March 17, and Monday, March 18, at 9 p.m. ET.Drake met Peck shortly after he was offered a main role on the Nickelodeon sketch series, which was a spinoff of All That. 'The situation with Brian had been building up and my dad started making it very difficult for Brian to be around me,' Drake detailed. 'He started to really drive a wedge between my dad and me. He told me that my dad was stealing money and nobody likes that my dad is on set.''At that time, I said, 'I want what my son wants. It is killing me and it is hurting me. It is breaking my heart but I want to do what Drake wants,'' Joe said through tears.
According to Drake, the authorities asked for him to get a confession from Peck through a wired call. Drake, for his part, said Schneider was a support system for him, adding, 'After Brian was arrested, Dan called and asked me, 'Does this have anything to do with you?' I was close enough with Dan that . Dan just said, 'You don't need to talk any more about it. That is all I needed to hear. Are you OK? Is there anything you need from me?''
