Drake Bell says Josh Peck "reached out"

Former Nickelodeon actor Drake Bell took to social media on Wednesday to address his supporters and clarify that his "Drake and Josh" co-star, Josh Peck, had connected with him in the wake of Bell's public airing of sexual assault claims in Investigation Discovery's, "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." 

Bell, in the new bombshell docuseries, recounted the alleged abuse he suffered over several months by his former dialogue and acting coach, Brian Peck (unrelated to Josh Peck,) whom he met in 2000 after landing a role on Nickelodeon sketch-comedy series, "The Amanda Show," in which he appeared alongside Amanda Bynes. At the time the abuse occurred, Bell was 15 years old, and was listed in the criminal case as "John Doe."
