Drake & Josh Stars Break Silence on 'Quiet on Set'

Former Nickelodeon stars Drake Bell and Josh Peck recently addressed the impact of the docuseries 'Quiet on Set.' In an episode of The Good Guys Podcast, hosted by Josh Peck and Ben Soffer, the actors shared their candid reactions to the multi-part special. The docuseries brought to light allegations of abuse and misconduct within the network during the early 2000s.

Drake Bell disclosed his experience as a victim of sexual abuse by his Nickelodeon dialogue coach, Brian Peck, when he was 15 years old. Brian Peck pleaded no contest in 2004 and received a 16-month prison sentence, though Bell was not publicly named as a victim at the time. Peck himself expressed pride in their collaborative work.

Bell described revisiting episodes as a "roller coaster of emotions," emphasizing that sharing one's story brings support but does not erase past pain. He noted that while the challenges remain, external support makes life more manageable. Both actors acknowledged the positive aspects of their time at Nickelodeon.
