Sexual abuse is not a joke or a laughing matter, unfortunately not everyone understands this, like the cast of ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide’ who decided to mock the abuse cases at Nickelodeon and ended up being confronted by Drake Bell.
Drake couldn’t overlook the comments made by actors Devon Werkheiser, Lindsay Shaw, and Daniel Curtis Lee, the three main stars of ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,’ after the documentary ‘The Quiet on the Set’ exposed the dark truth hidden behind some of Nickelodeon’s most famous children’s shows.
In a live TikTok video, Devon, Lindsay, and Daniel joked about the abuse allegations at Nickelodeon and claimed that such things did not happen on their set.
“Daniel, we told you never to talk about that. Go back to your hole, Daniel, and give me your holes,” Werkheiser says to Lee.
And he adds:
“I’m sorry, we shouldn’t joke about this. We really shouldn’t. Our set wasn’t like that. No, it’s fucking horrible. What Drake Bell said, that’s insane to hear. That’s messed up. And that never came to light, which is really wild. Really wild.”

Drake Bell Confronts the ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide’ Cast
Drake Bell gave his testimony in the documentary and revealed that he was a victim of sexual abuse by Brian Peck, Nickelodeon’s speech and acting coach, while working on ‘All That’ and ‘The Amanda Show’ in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Upon hearing the mockery from the cast of Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, the actor and musician did not hesitate to expose them on social networks, highlighting their total lack of respect towards such delicate and painful topics.
Bell wrote on X/Twitter: “Ned’s Declassless… this is wild… laugh guys… laugh. ‘Give me your holes!’ Really?”
There is no doubt that Drake did the right thing, not only for himself, but for all the thousands or millions of people who at some point in his life have been victims of this type of abuse.
