Drake Bell, known for his roles in 'The Amanda Show' and 'Drake & Josh,' describes alleged sexual abuse suffered by dialogue coach in a new docuseries.
In the four-part show, premiering March 17 and 18, the musician and actor alleges suffering frequent abuse at the home of former dialogue coach Brian Peck.
Bell says the sexual abuse began at age 15. The former Nickelodeon star — his speech labored and slowed by deep sighs — says Peck routinely picked him up from auditions and let him spend the night on his couch. “I opened my eyes, I woke up, and he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell says in the series.
“Anytime I had an audition or needed to work on dialogue or anything, I somehow ended up back at Brian’s house,” Bell says. “And it just got worse and worse and worse.” “Our relationship was just completely eviscerated,” Bell says in the docuseries, fighting back tears. “I think he felt like he was going through the divorce with my mom all over again, and fighting for me again just like he did when I was five years old.”
