Here’s What Josh Peck Said
On Thursday, March 21, Peck took to Instagram to share a post with fans. The picture featured a black background with text.
In the post, Peck explained that he finished watching ‘Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.’ Additionally, he explained that he reached out to Drake Bell — his former Nickelodeon ‘Drake & Josh’ co-star — after Bell revealed he was sexually assaulted as a child actor at Nick during the docuseries.
Peck seemingly explained that he reached out to Bell privately. However, he wanted to share a statement publicly to give his support “for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets.”
“Children should be protected,” he added. “Reliving this publicly is incredibly difficult, but I hope it can bring healing for the victims and their families…”
Before concluding his thoughts, Peck shared that he hopes the series brings “necessary change to our industry.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, Bell explained that the sexual assault occurred when he was 15. Additionally, he shared that it took place at the hands of a Nickelodeon dialogue coach named Brian Peck.
“I was sleeping on the couch where I usually sleep and… I woke up to him… I opened my eyes and I woke up and he was… he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell explained during the docuseries. “And I froze, and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react. And I had no idea how to get out of the situation.”
Ultimately, Bell explained that the abuse he experienced at the hands of Peck “got pretty brutal.”
After Bell’s revelation went public, social media users took to various platforms, seemingly waiting for Peck to share his reaction, per The Shade Room. However, Peck received backlash after seemingly ignoring the docuseries and Bell’s revelation.
Instead, Peck posted a TikTok, which left many users outraged at his silence on the matter.
