Here’s What Josh Peck Said
On Thursday, March 21, Peck took to Instagram to share a post with fans. The image featured a black background with text.
Within the post, Peck explained that he finished watching ‘Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.’ Moreover, 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 baby actor at Nick in the course of the docuseries.
Peck seemingly explained that he reached out to Bell privately. Nevertheless, he desired to share a press release publicly to provide his support “for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets.”
“Children needs to be protected,” he added. “Reliving this publicly is incredibly difficult, but I hope it may bring healing for the victims and their families…”
Before concluding his thoughts, Peck shared that he hopes the series brings “obligatory change to our industry.”

“I used to be sleeping on the couch where I often sleep and… I woke as much as him… I opened my eyes and I woke up and he was… he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell explained in the course of the docuseries. “And I froze, and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or the way to react. And I had no idea the way to get out of the situation.”
Ultimately, Bell explained that the abuse he experienced by the hands of Peck “got pretty brutal.”
