Drake Bell calls out “Ned’s Declassified” stars for joking about abuse allegations at Nickelodeon


After opening up about his sexual assault by Nickelodeon dialogue and acting coach Brian Peck, Drake Bell called out the stars of “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” for joking about the abuse allegations at Nickelodeon.

Devon Werkheiser, Lindsay Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee, who were child stars on Nickelodeon’s “Ned’s Declassified” in the 2000s and now host a podcast discussing the show, made light of the abuse allegations made by other Nickelodeon stars that were revealed on the recent “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” docuseries.

On a TikTok live video Monday, Werkheiser, Shaw and Lee briefly joked about the Nickelodeon abuse allegations and said “our set was not like that.”

“Daniel, we told you never to speak about that. Get back in your hole, Daniel, and give me your holes,” Werkheiser says, addressing Lee offscreen. “Sorry, we shouldn’t joke about this. We really shouldn’t. Our set was not like that. No, it’s fucking awful. The Drake Bell shit, that’s crazy to hear. That is fucked. And that never came out, which is really wild. Really wild.”

Werkheiser and Shaw walked back the jokes before reading a comment by a TikTok user out loud that said, “So, ya’ll were in on it?”

“I’m not talking about this anymore. Not talking about this anymore,” Werkheiser said while laughing. “Guys, we can’t joke like this, Jesus. Sometimes humor helps us move through things.”

Bell responded on X.

Bell also released a new music video Monday night, titled “I Kind of Relate.” In it, he plays guitar in a set that resembles his character’s bedroom in the Nickelodeon show “Drake & Josh,” while addressing the trauma from his past.
In the caption of the YouTube video, he wrote that “this song was inspired by my past and now that my story is being told I felt the time was right to share it.”
