Actor and musician Drake Bell is speaking out against his former Nickelodeon colleagues from the show “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” for making light of sexual abuse allegations within the network. Bell had previously shared his own experience of being sexually assaulted by Nickelodeon dialogue and acting coach Brian Peck during his time on shows like “All That” and “The Amanda Show” in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
During a TikTok live video, “Ned’s Declassified” stars Devon Werkheiser, Lindsay Shaw, and Daniel Curtis Lee, who now host a podcast discussing their time on the show, made jokes about the abuse allegations that had surfaced in the recent docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” “Daniel, we told you never to speak about that. Get back in your hole, Daniel, and give me your holes,” Werkheiser says in a video posted on X of the TikTok. “Sorry, we shouldn’t joke about this. We really shouldn’t. Our set was not like that. No, it’s f*cking awful. The Drake Bell sh*t, that’s crazy to hear. That is f*cked. And that never came out, which is really wild. Really wild.”
Despite Werkheiser quickly backtracking their comments, Bell took to social media to express his disappointment, particularly calling out the comment made by Werkheiser about “giving me your holes.” He tweeted, “Ned’s Declassless…this is wild…laugh it up guys…laugh it up. ‘Give me your h*les!!’ Really?!”
Werkheiser or his ND crew has yet to respond to Bell.
Ned’s Declassless…this is wild…laugh it up guys…laugh it up…”Give me your h*les?!!” Really?! https://t.co/pD2ZYdd2gG
