Drake Bell Reveals Childhood Sexual Abuse By Dialogue Coach

Drake Bell alleges being molested by dialogue coach Brian Peck during his acting career.

Former child star Drake Bell has recently come forward with allegations of being repeatedly molested by dialogue coach Brian Peck during his time as a young actor. Bell shared his story as part of Investigation Discovery's upcoming docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which sheds light on the toxic culture behind some iconic children's shows from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Bell's acting career began at the age of 5, and he eventually landed a role on Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show in 1999. It was during this time that he met Peck, who later became his dialogue coach and manager. Bell's father raised concerns about Peck's close relationship with his son, but these concerns were dismissed, leading to a strained relationship between Bell and his father.
