Michaela Zee Drake Bell has spoken out in his first interview following the release of the ID docuseries, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” In a new episode of “The Sarah Fraser Show” podcast, Bell shared his thoughts on Nickelodeon‘s response to the documentary, in which the “Drake & Josh” star details his sexual abuse by dialogue and acting coach Brian Peck. “There’s a very well-tailored response saying, ‘Learning about his trauma,’ because they couldn’t say that they didn’t know about this or what had happened, or anything,” Bell said.
“So I think that was a really well-tailored response by probably some big attorney in Hollywood.” “I find it pretty empty, their responses, because, I mean, they still show our shows, they still put our shows on,” he added. “And I have to pay for my own therapy, I have to figure out what — I mean if there was anything, if there was any truth behind them actually caring, there would be something more than quotes on a page by obviously a legal representative telling them exactly how to tailor a response.” Bell also explained why he decided to participate in the “Quiet on Set” documentary, saying that one of the directors, Emma Schwartz, was “very sensitive” and he “could tell she was coming from a genuine place” in their initial interactions over email.
Shortly after meeting with Schwartz in person, Bell went to rehab to process some of his trauma. “I just felt really comfortable in that interview, but I was going through so much in my personal life and after that interview I ended up checking myself into rehab,” Bell said.
