Drake Bell is attempting to set the record straight regarding the involvement of "Boy Meets World" actors Rider Strong and Will Friedle in supporting Brian Peck, Bell's former dialogue and acting coach who sexually assaulted him as a minor. The former Nickelodeon star revealed the abuse in Investigation Discovery's new docuseries, "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," and has since engaged in open discourse on social media.
Strong and Friedle were among a sizeable group of individuals who wrote letters of support for Peck in 2003 after Bell accused him. In a February episode of their podcast with fellow "Boy Meets World" alum, Danielle Fishel, Strong and Friedle reportedly preemptively addressed their connection to Peck after once they learned that their letters would be aired to the public.
