Hurting a child should be an automatic life sentence...
Considering he did the same and lied about it should put him behind bars. Drake Bell is a lier and needs to not be let back in Hollywood.
The men who created this system who put that in place because they are also predators.
@@marimunny9194He didn’t. He just talked to her online because she lied about her age, and as soon as he found out how old she really was he blocked her. She was a stalker and a liar which the courts proved. Get a grip, and stop believing everything you hear. The justice system isn’t as perfect as you think, as you can clearly see since Brian Peck has been free for over a decade.
HE did the same thing
@@alycooper1932saying it repeatedly won’t make it true
16 months for sexually assaulting a child… absurd. Look at the damage he’s done to this man. He should’ve been locked up for life. No doubt he’s molested others since he got out. Such injustice.
We need a revolution.
You see the law today and how its run, even an illegal immigrant murdered a young girl and got away with it. Right now there is no injustice in America today!
💯💯💯💯💯
If you think that’s when peck got out of prison he secured 2 more jobs in the industry
That 16 month sentence did NO justice if he got hired by Disney to continue working around kids. He should’ve been banned from such positions.
I feel like Jennette McCurdy deserves a shoutout here too. She was the first one to call out the total BS that goes on with these kids shows and the things she went through.
Her book is so good. Hope she keeps writing
she definitely was not the first one, corey feldman has been speaking about this forever
This isn't new.. if you follow this story. you'd already know this.
if you watch the full interview drake brings up jennette
She actually was not the first. Alexa Nikolas has been talking about it for years.
16 months sounds criminally small
He only served 4 months
And he only served 4 months 😭
Only because it is criminally small.
Yes, but not, ""small." "Short" is the word you want.
@@finchborat the fact anyone thinks that’s a thing is mad
He may not know what to say to his younger self, but by coming forward he's saving so many young children.
Except for the children he abuses himself.
Hahahah👆
@@beatnikmary The girl got mad he ghosted her after finding out her age and made things up.
@@beatnikmarywell he never did, troll. People say anything these days just for clout 🤦🏻♀️
It is proven that no such thing ever happened. Just say you hate male CSA survivors who want to make a change and move on.
@@Thaddeus-ml8if What a lie!!!! Read her victim impact statement. Your a SICKO for believing his BS!
That's so awful. And his dad tried so hard to prevent this from happening.
He didn't try hard enough.
@@AnalyzingWithAaronhe did, but his mother didn’t listen, and after his father lost management rights over Drake his mom literally let drake stay at Brian’s house
@@AnalyzingWithAaron he did...the mother was the problem
@@AnalyzingWithAaron It wasn't the Dad. He was taken out of the picture by the meddling mother who would not allow the Dad to be around. This blame lies with the mother and the slime who victimized him.
@@loristone9242Drake clearly doesn't believe this. Let the victim make the narrative. Not your personal feelings.
The fact the studio didn't have guidelines and boundaries in place to prevent this, is enraging. These adults that work with kids take advantage of children because they know they are helpless.
It was in the 90’s
In this case it wouldn’t have flagged any issues when he started at nickolodeon but would have when he got a job at Disney after his conviction. Although from listening to other child actors coming forward, there prob was warning signs that they saw plus for how bad Drake was SAd he definitely wasn’t pecks first !
@@lillie89467 I can only imagine what they all went through.
@samgeller6357 what's your point? Child molestation was in the news in the 90s. There was enough prior knowledge about the danagers children face as actors. There have been many documentaries of child actors being abused by adults on set. They were complacent -- even his mother. His father called it. He knew that guy was a child predator. That's gotta hurt as a parent. He was ousted and couldn't protect him.
@@virginia6793 the parents were blindsided by this monster.
The people saying he's speaking out because of money or because he wants to make a "comeback" are disgusting. He declined doing the documentary multiple times. He was approached years ago by another documentary, and when he declined, they made him feel like HE was the problem because he wasn't ready. He had MANY reservations to come forward, rightfully so after that first experience. It wasn't until he started therapy that he decided to do this one. His story is going to help the industry, and other survivors heal. I'm so proud of Drake. He has great things ahead of him.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Also even if he did get money, I think money is the least he deserves 😩 he deserves so much more
Everyone needs to stop saying that Drake is doing this for clout. If anything Drake Bell stands to lose money over this because he signed the NDA. But he still took that risk because enough was enough
@@mayflower7811 totally agree, he’s definitely not doing it for clout, he’s doing it for him, so that he can heal and move forward with his life in a more positive way
I’ve not seen anything about him signing an NDA, plus he’s talking about abuse which went to court so don’t think that would be covered by an NDA & if nicklodeon had him sign one then that means they knew which kind of goes against what drake said in QOS that he didn’t think anyone knew 🤷🏽♀️
@@killawalez3944 Absolutely!! Nickelodeon needs to pay for therapy for Drake AND his dad.
I loved his line "This isn't me, this HAPPENED to me." Any trauma you've been through does not have to define who you are! I encourage anyone going through struggles to seek help. Therapy, parent, trusted friend/teacher, coworker, spiritual leader. Anyone! Let it out cause it will set you free. Thank you Drake! Your son will definitely see you as a hero, buddy!
NO! HE IS NOT A HERO! HE'S A PREDATOR!
@@zoe-zi5fxbecause of all he went through but he’s admitted to it and knows he’s done wrong as a result to the trauma, but he’s working to change those ways.
@@zoe-zi5fxBlocking someone when found out she is underage is the opposite of predatory behavior.
You have clearly no clue what you’re talking about and it shows.
@@maddypepunkt3052 please look up his ex gf Melissa and what he did to her.
His perpetrator Brian got a job at Disney working for the show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody after his release.
He never went on set, he was just doing a voice and was dismissed as soon as Disney found out he had a record.
@@aresefbut he has been on other sets, he just can’t be the on his own with children - another adult has to be present. Drake said in another interview he went out to a restaurant and saw BP there with a group of young male actors 😳
He was hired by for Suite Life by Rich Correll. Correll also directed a lot of episodes of the Amanda Show and wrote letters to the judge supporting Peck, including one that said he'd gladly work with peck again, which he did.
@@aresef- Disney KNEW he had a record and hired him anyway. Gross.
@@aresefThey knew about what was going on. He only got the axe because they got tons of backlash for hiring Peck.
Praying for continued healing Drake
What he had to go through was horrible.
This has gone on since the Roman days. Now there is lots of money to be made telling the stories so it's turned into a cash cow for these buttercups
@@kendallevans4079 I can see how that comes across with him doing so many interviews.
Devastating
@@calliejosventures4907 Yup, usually this is done in concert with a book release but in this case the doc is the "book"
@@kendallevans4079 trolls gonna troll.
Drake & Josh was my favorite tv show growing up. First thing I always watched when I would get home from school. It’s heart breaking to hear this happened to him behind the scenes.
😊❤😊😮
😊😮
🎉❤
It actually happened on the Amanda Show but still
Scenes*
You can see in his eyes this man is damaged.
Or did he get in trouble for talking to a minor so he turned the tables so he’s the victim in a larger situation
Drake, you are helping someone who is going through this gather the courage to tell someone, which no doubt will save someone's life.
Those pictures of Drake with his son at the end are SO INCREDIBLY MOVING & BEAUTIFUL!
On a positive note, Drake definitely has a sense of style.
He always did
@@theoutsiderjess4869
I had never paid attention before but cool.
How amazing and brave he is for sharing his story. Instead of abusing himself because of the pain, he is able help people and demonstrate clarity on these events. Well done! Thank you.
You can truly see the pain in Drake’s eyes
I just want to give him the biggest hug
You were made to feel ashamed by that pathetic man when you didn’t do anything wrong and, unfortunately, had no one around to protect you. You were an innocent child and the people around you failed you. Your father was ripped out of your life…your only savior. God bless you, Drake! Thank you for your courage to speak about the horrors you endured, to save others. ❤
Drake is not a bad person. I was completely unaware of what he was going through when he was a kid actor. He has clearly learned from his recent mistakes as well and is doing a great job moving forward as a wiser, experienced person! Best of luck to him, his family, and all of his future endevores!
Hollywood studios should have rules for child stars and how they should be treated decades ago. There is no reason that this young man should have gone through what he did.
Drake was my childhood crush as a kid and I grew up watching Drake and Josh and other Nickelodeon shows 3:30-4:45🥹 seeing Drake cry makes me cry and breaks my heart into a million little pieces🥹♥️💔
I loved watching Drake since seeing him on The Amanda show. Back then, he wasn’t very well known until Drake and Josh aired.
Dude has REALLY weird energy. Was he always like this?
@@trashyraccoon2615 weird, how so?
@@trashyraccoon2615opening up about traumatic events in front of cameras and strangers can be triggering and you stumble upon words and need pauses. This is what trauma looks like, guys.
I don’t think he is weird, but you are 💁🏻♀️
@@maddypepunkt3052 Oh I definitely am. I saw the series. Almost every other victim was sympathetic. He was the only one who was off putting and still is
Terrible things have happened to the guy and here he is, mature, speaking out and opening his life to everyone.
I feel Drake has come a long way and hope he continues to heal and grow.
What I really hated though, that for something that Drake did and admitted to (talking to someone underage online), he got labeled the most horrible things... and yet this despicable person, Brian Peck, got NONE of the bad press, he was protected, and hardly did any freaking time in jail, even though he ADMITTED to everything he did to Drake... and who knows who else he did this to!!!
Exactly
Do yourself a favor and read the victim's statement from Drake Bell's accuser from the court case. It's a lot more egregious than "talking to someone underage online".
@@--sqland her statement was debunked by the DA & judge in that exact same footage of the sentencing. 18 month investigation proved her lying. She knew how to destroy his life (what she admitted to a friend was her plan, but her friend came fw) and she did just bc she was salty he blocked her.
Thank you for giving him a fair hearing and a safe space unlike other shows, in which they are still attacking him. We love him in Mexico. Like so many others, he has found a home here. Ironic.
🇲🇽❤❤
Praying for Drake to get better and continued healing. I am so proud of him for speaking up, Drake's an amazing person, much love and respect for him ❤
There are people serving 20+ year sentences for smoking marijuana, whereas this disgusting monster got 16 months for REPEATEDLY sexually abusing a teenager.
Our society and system are deplorable. There needs to be a revolution.
He only served 4months & apparently fought it all the way, but that’s ok because he had to pay $200 to his victim 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you Drake Bell! Your courage has resulted in protections for talented youth in a careless industry. Godspeed Hero!
We are all so proud of Drake for doing this
@@mayflower7811 was you proud of him when he was trying to do this himself
Praying for mental healing no child should have to go through abuse. I feel your pain 😢😢. Your story will help others
I'm so proud of Drake. He deserves to be uncanceled and, He deserves a platform. I hope everything works out for him.
Hope the best for this young man!!!
My heart breaks for him when she started tearing up. But he has a right to get emotional and should if he needs to. Nothing healthy about keeping it bottled in.
It takes such strength to come forward. Wishing Drake a wonderful, serene and healing future.
What about his 12 year old victim that they didn't mention who made an accusation? Curiously left out
@@BMFstudiosNYCThey mentioned that unless you didn’t watch the video. He said exactly what happened during the court him texting a minor making the stupid decision by not checking her age from the beginning also there was no nudes like she claimed.
What an amazing young man. Even after everything he’s been through.
I'm really glad Drake has presumably made a 180 from his trauma to now able to tell his story in the hopes it helps someone else. I'm wishing him major success on what comes next.
A 180 to keep relevant after he himself was inappropriate. So he uses his abuse as a tool.
@@freddyharrison877 Snow questions Bell about this situation during their conversation.
“It could sound to some people like a contradiction, that you’re speaking out about your own past and trying to help other children avoid being abused, and yet you pleaded guilty to doing something with a younger girl,” she says.
“Of course. But I also think that there is a picture that a lot of people are painting of a cycle of abuse,” he replies. “‘Oh, well, he did to someone else what has been done to him.’”
He considers that a “difficult parallel to make.”
He adds, “I should never have engaged with anybody online, even if I knew what their age was. Anything like that … absolutely should not have happened. But it’s a very difficult parallel to make, between that and what I endured at 14 years old, the physical abuse that I went through, the things that (Peck) had done to me, over, and over, and over, and how dark it got.”
@@freddyharrison877You just love downplaying people's SA! Disgusting!
@@LunitaSoysorry. There’s no redemption for pedos. You don’t get a second chance after you openly admitted to grooming a child. He can babysit your kid. But not mine
@@Jim_Bag Men constantly get lied to, falsely accused of grape, and shown fake IDs all the time. They rarely if ever get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. It gets worse when you check the comments of news videos reporting women teachers graping their students and 90% of them are “lucky kid!” and “that shouldn’t be a crime!”. I believe Drake didn’t know simply because of the way society acts and things are so bad now that I would trust one person’s word over an entire army of keyboard warriors.
Even though Dan Schneider didn’t do anything to Drake Bell I still believe that he’s still guilty for what he’s done to other Former Nickelodeon Stars. Only they would know what happened to them.
Same!
And truthfully I think the only reason he reached out to Drake was to see if he was going to be implicated for hiring the guy. He was heading off a law suit
All of them are friends, no wonder they protect their abuses and each others
@@Noway128 Bull.
@samgeller6357 And what was that? Care to share?
HUGE amount of love and respect for you, Drake Bell. We're with u 😭💝
Same we all think you're so brave for doing this
And drakes victim as well ❤
Fake Victim
Well...yes...but he's gone on to victimise other kids, and he is minimizing that. He's framing himself as a victim--which he is--but not as an abuser--which he also is.
@@beatnikmaryWorst thing he did was texting a minor not making sure of her age from the beginning but I also think his accuser deserves some jail time for making false accusations. He was stupid and irresponsible but still Drake is better then me because whenever he talks about his accuser, her false accusations and the media twisting everything he’s always so calm about it I would be so mad at them. She claimed that he sent explicit pictures but they did 18 months investigation and they found nothing there’s even eyewitnesses and one friend of hers that went against her horrendous claims.
Drake is incredibly brave and I have so much respect for him for coming forward with his story. My heart breaks for what he went through but I send him good vibes and healing vibes as he goes forward. I’m excited to watch him flourish again ❤❤
He is a convicted child molester. What is wrong with you!?
@@wiggy5492no he is not. Maybe do some research 😂
It's difficult enough to talk about these things as it is. I can't imagine having to do so with the whole world watching, especially in today's day and age. Wishing him healing and peace. 🌸
Hero to many other abused children!! THANK YOU ♥️♥️♥️
I feel so terrible 😔 for him. I wish I could hug 🫂 him because I was sexually abused at the age of 5. I wish him the very best now & always & I'm proud he's come forward to speak about his nightmare when he was growing up, and turning it into something positive & help others to ultimately not go through the nightmare and trauma that is life long, and a permanent emotional scar that victims often keep to themselves. For myself I don't talk about it unless I feel 100% comfortable in that moment to speak about it & it's hard to even type this - but I feel extremely bad Drake Bell went through that growing up. I only wish him happiness, good health, and continued success.
16 months ? What is the reason child molesters are protected ?
Only served 4 months & he fought it all the way!
@@lillie89467 For a crime so hideous, it makes zero sense. I really don’t understand this “society “.
So apparently the girl made the story up. Just to get closer to him
@@nelsonlacayo5024 we’re referring to Brian’s sentence
There are still some people out there who still don't believe that Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon did anything wrong. That's because they want to hold on to their childhood so much that they refuse to believe that anything is wrong with the network
Abuse is complex. It is always important to try to break the cycle.
He’s amazing what a strong soul to reach for peace!!!! ❤
I pray for his continued healing ❤️🩹!!!!
He needs to make sure his child is protected. Make sure anyone around your child is vetted.
I agree 100%. But Drake needs to continue to get support to help him heal. Nobody can probably care for someone else (including their own kids) if they themselves aren’t ok.
Drake continues to tell his story and he inspires me, many others, and his son in the future. He is helping so so many people realise that they are not alone and the pain he went through will not be forgotten, but instead his strength will be honored. Always sending prayers for him and I hope he truly knows how brave he is for being so open about the abuse, as well as going back to such an emotional place mentally.
He has matured so much.
I have a feeling that even as a teen, he was genuinely nice and humble. They only PLAYED a lazy and selfish kid on Drake and Josh.
Hearing his story in Quiet on Set, absolutely broke my heart! He was my favorite Nickelodeon star as a kid! The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh was always on in my house! To know now what was going on behind the scenes, is devastating.
Oh be quiet
This guy is a good man ...we love you Drake
Lorie Beth has a story to tell as well!
Kel Mitchell too
Mexico welcomed him with open arms when his own people rejected him! We love u Drake!!
Drake has been through so much in his life. Lots of wonderful things but also a lot of trauma combined together. Thankfully he’s been able to continue on and live his life. He’s made some mistakes but I always supported him and still do
They’ve released the hour long version of this interview
I cried while watching this, Drake is so brave for speaking up, seeking help and getting his life together after this. I think some of us who have gone through trauma wish we could go back and tell our younger selves that it is going to be okay. It does get better, it just takes time. What happend to Drake should have landed Brian in prison for life. This just shows me how little the justice system does, and how it treats those who are effected by this. Seeing him have a happy life, be supported and show his son real strength is so amazing, huge credit to drake for that!
Drake Bell is a real one. Always has been in my eyes.
lol yo look up what he plead guilty to 2 years ago.
@@canefan17troll
He deserves a second chance at having a normal life! I’m happy for him.
Technically, this is his third chance, but hey, some people get 3 to 4 chances, for example, Robert Downey Jr. Got 3 chances and look where he is.
I think he's incredibly brave for sharing his story!
So sad that he had to go through that.
I don't know who Drake Bell is, never heard of him but what about Corey Feldman??? Is it possible that (more) people will believe him now?
I did not see any holes. His tears seem very genuinely.
Google him, he was charged himself .
@@bluethunder5694They already mentioned that during the video.
@@fatimakerrar what they did was let him try and explain it away. Im against predators. Are you Catholic?
@@bluethunder5694 Well, they and he explained what happened during his sentencing, he was charged with child endangerment for texting a minor him making the huge mistake by not checking her age from the beginning and that what he plead guilty to and took responsibility during the doc and other interviews. I’m also against predators but through doing my own research it doesn’t seem like it’s the case for him also to answer your question I’m a muslin.
I was very moved with his story. Proud of him for coming forward it must’ve really been hard after all this time. No one wants to admit to something like this. I feel very sorry for him he gave us everything and he was abused. God bless Drake and his son
The entertainment and legal community failed him. I hurt for him and his father. His father knew something wasn't right with that guy and he said something about it. He received backlash and was accused of being homophobic. Disgusting!
16 months for destroying a child's life???
Possibly less than that🙄…….and…and invitation to work for Disney and continue working with other kids 👿🙄
I know right Brian's sentence should of been the death penalty.
Such a vulnerable thing to come forward after all these years - this is such a real story of preventing something like this from happening 🙏🏽
Drake Bell deserves better
This is sad, I hope he gets the help he needs
“Nickelodeon adopted new safeguards over the years including doing criminal background checks on employees.”
So y’all were just hiring without background checks? Even McDonald’s was doing background checks by then.
Exactly!! When I got a job with UPS in 1989, I had a background check and they fingerprinted me!!
This is only the televised part of the interview, if you go to their x page there’s prob another 10+ minutes of the interview across several posts
This is also what happened to corey haim and corey Feldman. Drake Bell should be supported for telling his story. We parents need to listen and watch. Kids shouldnt be afraid to tell when treated inappropriate
James marsden needs to apologize!!!!!
?
No he needs to be blacklisted
They need to fire him on Sonic the Hedgehog, cuz I don't want him in my favorite video games character movie.
We are rooting for you, man.
Am glad his story is finally getting out there I still can’t believe all the stuff he and others went through
Wow. Drake deserves the comeback of the century.
I wonder if the 12 year old who accused him feels the same way. No mention of her here for some reason.
Accusations were addressed in the interview.
@@audrey3640 no, that was the 15 year old.
@@BMFstudiosNYCAre we supposed to believe anyone now without a concrete proof? Like his 15 years old accuser who lied during her impact statement.
@@BMFstudiosNYCsource: dude, trust me 🙄
My heart hurts when I hear Drake speak about his trauma because you can hear the immense amount of pain it caused him in his voice 💔😞 I know it will get easier for him to speak about it in the future with more practice and he will be an incredible advocate for kids
So brave to start the journey of healing.
The Amanda Show was my jam growing up!!! Drake was a versatile standout..... Tony Pajamas, Biscotti Blokey (Blockblister), Enis (Hillybilly Moment), Totally Kyle of course...... even his talents as a singer-songwritter. So sad with all the drama in his life and how it affected his future. But he's back stronger than ever....... TOTALLY!!!!
Drake, I am really sorry for your suffering. God is great, He keeps you from those evils.
16 months for destroying a life! Wow!
Imagine all the others he’s destroyed that we don’t know about😞
I admire him so much for coming forward
Enviando, todo el apoyo a Drake, desde México, es un hombre muy valiente y fuerte, me alegro de que siga haciendo musica, es muy talentoso y versatil. Eres grande Drake.
We have to stop celebrating fame and money...kindness, safety and goodness have more value than any material possession or bank account...
Amen!
Unfortunately, that will never happen.
@@Jade_902 nor should it the pray drake speaking on the predator of his getting financial gain while he became just that a predator now folks pray for the prey
@@541turboAre you comparing someone texting a minor without checking their age to someone who brutally r@ped and SA’d a child repeatedly for a year? What Drake did was stupid and irresponsible but it doesn’t compare to what Brian Peck did to him and god knows what Brian did to other children before or after what he did to Drake
I wish Drake Bell nothing but the best I am sorry that he has to go through this pain & suffering. But I hope he gets better & find peace for the better.
Despite the bad things hes gotten himself in. It was nice to see him speak out.
As a survivor myself. I felt a little bit of closeness to this story. Its a rough world out there so yall stay safe
Drake is very brave. What he had gone through is heartbreaking. I'm happy to see he's doing better, and finally he is uncancelled in the US. He deserves the best things
We are all so proud of him
@mayflower7811 I wonder if the 12 year old who accused him feels the same way. No mention of her here for some reason.
@@123451248ify Agree to disagree
@@123451248ify People who are supporting Drake
@@mayflower7811 There's nothing to "agree to disagree" with. You only can speak for yourself. Yeah, he should be proud of himself for speaking out about his abuse, but he became a predator himself when had inappropriate messages with a 12 to 15-year-old girl. Yes, I know you're probably going to say, "She lied about her age" and/or "He stopped talking to her once he found out her age." that can be true, but it doesn't change the fact that a crime was still committed. Bell is both a victim and a predator and yes, two things can be true at once.
Brian Peck starred in Return of the Living Dead in 1985. I met him a few times and sat at a VIP table with him before I knew his history and before he was permanently banned from conventions. Creeps me out thinking about it now.
I hope he didn't do anything harmful to you
I hope he goes to prison one day.
How was he? He seems to have quite the facade and personality.
@@trishinthecity5584 - He definitely didn’t do enough time for what he did. However, him going to prison again would mean he’s gotten caught for violating someone else. I hope everyone just stays away.
@@KingMacintosh2 - Yeah, he was very charming and charismatic. Unfortunately, that’s often the case with many groomers. They win people’s trust.
Good for him for speaking up. I wish him all the best.
Meanwhile someone circa 2004 probably got a life sentence for having weed
Wow. What a terrible story about Drake’s life. I felt very sorry for him 😢
That is great and inspiring that he what's to be a better person for his son and my heart goes to him for what happened to him should not happen to anyone else ever 😊❤
I LOVE YOU DRAKE WE SUPPORT YOU
A courageous young man
According to drake he saw Brian again and he was with young boys at a restaurant
You can tell this interview was the real one where he wasn't dissociating just to tell his story... This interview he stepped back into those feelings he tries to hide from... I don't agree with him about his conviction and his view on it, but I do hope he is maturing now being a dad and facing his past and I hope he is actually trying to protect kids and not just say it... Bc many times the cycle repeats and many times these people love to say something for the masses to endear them for, but they do the opposite behind closed doors...
Yay! Drake Bell, moved to Mexico City where his music is booming! That is so good to hear. I’m very happy for him. It is going to be ok!
I find it curious that he moved out of the country. They never mentioned the 12 year old who accused him... I wonder if there's anyone else.
@@BMFstudiosNYC He only moved to Mexico a few months ago-- years after his sentencing in 2021, if you're trying to imply that he fled the country lol. He's genuinely much more popular in Mexico than in the US, so the move is practical. Regarding his accusation (which they did explicitly mention btw....), I suppose you can come to your own conclusions, but it was dealt with in court so it's not like he's escaping justice.
@@abrubag no, they mentioned the 15 year old, not the 12 year old.
Mr. Bell was there for Drake and protected him as much as he could until Brian’s grooming worked. If the grooming didn’t work Drake wouldn’t have been violated/SA’d. He would’ve been protected because Drake’s dad did not trust Brian Peck’s intentions.
I’m so sorry Drake 😔 we got u now
They didn't do criminal background checks on people before this. Wow.
Is this the whole interview? Or is there a longer version somewhere?
This is all they aired, their social media (X) has a few more clips on different topics
I saw a video of drake getting caught drunk driving. To me that was the first sign something was troubling him.
Wait he got 16 months yet hyde from that 70s show got 30-life?? Our justice system is WIIIIIIIIILD.
I agree that Brian Peck deserved a harsher sentence.
Danny Masterson is where he belongs, though. He drugged and assaulted multiple women and used his connections in the church of scientology to threaten, harass and intimidate the witnesses. Allegedly, they even killed one of the women's dog to scare her into silence. Bad stuff.
