Drake Bell Details Sexual Assault by Brian Peck, Nickelodeon Issues Statement

“My name is Drake Bell and I came here today to tell my story,” Bell says during the documentary’s third episode , before he goes on to describe his relationship with Peck. According to Bell, issues first arose when his father Joe — who served as his manager at the time — became uncomfortable with how much time Peck was spending with his son, something that production alleged was just homophobia on Joe’s part due to Peck being gay.

“I was sleeping on the couch where I would usually sleep,” said Bell. “I woke up to him — I opened my eyes, I woke up and he was sexually assaulting me. I froze and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react, and I have no idea how to get out of this situation.

In a statement to Variety on the nature of Bell’s comments, Nickelodeon said that it could not confirm or deny any allegations, but that it takes any and all concerns seriously at the time. The company also commended Bell for his strength to come forward, adding it is “dismayed and saddened” to learn of the trauma he faced.
