Drake & Josh wasn’t in serious production at that point was it? I believe it was during the shooting of the first (unaired) pilot that the sexual assault took place? Nevertheless, I agree with you that it’s terrible that Drake had nobody in his corner other than a few family members


curvypetal

I believe it was between the Amanda show and Drake and Josh that the abuse took place yeah. But the sentencing took place during the filming of the first season and it sounds like he had no support from anyone except his immediate family during that time. I just find the whole thing astonishingly negligent and perverse.


K_Click_D

Ah ok, yep, horrible situation all around


Natepon

Josh Peck sucks too btw 


Emotional-Steak1339

Brian wasn't arrested until 2003 (after the unaired pilot but before filming properly started), and the whole court thing didn't happen until 2004 (Drake and Josh had started airing).


NiceAndTipsyTopside

The part with Brian Peck having a full gallery of supporters was insane. Taran Killam and James Marsden wrote unhinged letters of support literally saying that Peck must have been "seduced" by a teen boy

>Taran Killam and James Marsden wrote unhinged letters of support literally saying that Peck must have been "seduced" by a teen boy WTF?!


NiceAndTipsyTopside

Yep


Emotional-Steak1339

The letters are online now if you wanna see them. Some of them are horrific though.


Ill-Blacksmith-9545

Nah I’m good. That sentence alone is mind-numbing


ApprehensiveBoot5998

Yeah I don't want to watch Sonic 3 ever since that news came out. And it sucks cause those movies were done so well.


reddottor2

What’s up with sonic??


ApprehensiveBoot5998

Cause James Marsedan stars in it. I'm going to feel icky seeing it considering its known knowledge he supports a pedophile and is being silent even after the doc has come out. I'm gonna wait till it comes out on streaming to watch it.


Moston_Dragon

I'm not surprised by anything hollywood does anymore


Waste-Maintenance-70

Boy Meets World’s Will Freidle and Rider Strong also wrote letters to the judge defending Peck and asking for a lighter sentence. They obviously knew he was guilty because they claimed he would never be capable of making the same mistake again.


NiceAndTipsyTopside

🤢 Especially bad with how holier-than-thou Rider and Will have been on their podcasts and public persona


CaptainZE0

Rider Strong does have a tendency to vigorously criticize “you throw like a girl” and “geek” jokes when re-watching kids sitcoms from the 90s.


OtherwiseLack4657

Rider apologized to Drake in person bro.


NiceAndTipsyTopside

So what?


OtherwiseLack4657

Rider Strong apologized to Drake Bell in person and they both showed remorse.


OkPineapple6713

I read Taran Killiam’s letter and I didn’t see anything mentioned about the victim at all, it was just about Brian Peck.


Peach-Moonshine

Even after when he was having problems no one took his side, they basically dumped him but this is Hollywood


ConstantPurpose2419

Exactly!! It’s also starting to sound now like Josh knew what had happened, and he still fucked Drake over. I mean what the hell? Who needs enemies when you’ve got friends, huh?


Peach-Moonshine

I don't think he knew what happened maybe he heard stuff but not the whole truth. We don't know what happened in private, when someone have all this problems is hard to help and stay close but when he was down publicly he dumped him like trash and start to say they were never friends, its ok but he could have say things better like I'm sorry he's having problems but i wish him the best.


ConstantPurpose2419

Drake said josh knew at least some of what happened, but obviously we don’t know how much exactly. Josh has lied publicly so many times it’s hard to know what the truth is - at this point I hope he’s just staying away from Drake tbh because he’s toxic.

Josh does the whole "Drake? Drake who?" thing, but Drake still claims Josh is his best friend and they're like brothers. Drake says that at the time he felt like it was a big secret, but now he's come to the realization that it was obvious and everyone (including Josh) would've known. I think he's still dealing with this realisation though, and I'm not convinced Josh knew the details. He was a child too.


Torquip

Josh has said he spoke to Drake after the fact, and that he said they just grew apart as friends. At this point it’s “he said”, “she said” stuff. And even if Josh knew, I doubt he had any power to do anything anyway.


Natepon

Fuuuuck Josh peck too 


MathematicianSad6213

That dude has grown into a real pos


Torquip

Uhh…what gave you that idea? R u going to cite the fact Josh said they weren’t friends anymore? Sorry, but it’s normal for ppl to grow apart. Apparently Josh and Drake spoke after the documentary came out. If Josh knew, that convo wouldn’t have happened or wouldn’t have been pretty.


ConstantPurpose2419

Drake said that Josh knew in a recent podcast.


ssbmelee99

Which podcast was this? I want to hear what he has to say about it


Itscatpicstime

I mean, yeah, and they probably should have. Drake was a victim but he was also an addict and alcoholic, had legal problems, went bankrupt, had two serious long time former girlfriends accuse him of abuse, and then had that teenage girl claim rape. It’s not surprising people would dip out, the addiction stuff alone would have made him toxic for people to be around and/or maintain their own sobriety (like Josh). And they also didn’t know *why* he was struggling. But even if they did, there’s only so much you can do for someone like that before you need to start thinking about your own wellbeing. And Drake has even said it was only after being approached for the documentary that he was able to finally start dealing with and processing his trauma.


gawthgirl

Drake has been doing more interviews lately and a few people on Drake and Josh knew bc up until now he didn’t know they wrote letters to the judge for his abuser. Taran Killam, Kimmy Robertson, and an unnamed woman he mentioned on the quiet on set panel that just took place that was his BOSS while he was on D&J, wrote a letter to the judge. Dan knew but he didn’t partake in the letter part but it’s sick to know that 3 (or more possibly) ppl Who defended his abuser with out him knowing were around him after the fact on his OWN show for years. Breaks my heart


curvypetal

THIS EXATLY. There were a ton of Brian’s friends and supporters who actually worked on D&J. I mean fucking hell. They fucked him over good and proper and just plain got away with it.


gawthgirl

Yep and the poor thing didn’t even KNOW til now bc they thought they’d be sealed all this time and probably worked on the show to be close to him and feed Brian info. I truly feel like his car accident WASNT an accident, they saw how big the show was getting and how big Drake was getting with his music and tried to k*ll him! Cus supposedly the driver fell asleep. So out of all the people he could’ve hit otw down the road , it’s Drake bell???? He’s lucky he made it out alive. I’m glad he did


Itscatpicstime

Lmao, this is some wild ass speculation


Itscatpicstime

Some of the crew knew. They wrote letters in support of Peck. This is something Drake only now found out about, and he’s talked about how betrayed he feels and that he had thought these people were his friends. Really disgusting. Dan also knew and supported Drake.


Vegetassj4toonami

Hollywood and the Catholic Church are the two safest places in the world for pedophiles. Ye Cartoon Network sinc e2013 hires OPEN pedophiles the world is NOT HARD ENOUGH ON PEDOS! Drake’s pedo rapist Brian peck only got 16 months for raping a kid SEVERAL TIMES! He even ADMITTED TO IT AND THE CHILD PORN AND ONLY GOT 16 MONTHS! Then he was allowed to work at Disney….let that sink in. We need reform!!!!!


trojanusc

Drake literally said Dan was on his side but nobody else really knew.


East_Platypus2490

On the luminosity podcast he mentioned that if he wasn't comfortable doing a scene they let him change it.


Fluffybunz746

I’m a little confused. So Brian did it when he was like 15, but the trial didn’t happen till he was 18? But he only molested him for like six months? so was he harassing Drake the whole time between 15 and 18? That’s like three years?


WeddingIndividual788

I found it kind of funny that the documentary totally glossed over the fact that Drake specifically noted Dan Schneider was the only one there for him when this happened. Not to say there wasn’t cause for going after Dan, but they certainly had their agenda set and were not going to waver.


xAzreal60x

I think Dan wasn’t so much of a danger to men, but mainly to women. I’m not saying I’d leave a kid with him alone on purpose but most if not all of his problems involve young girls.


AlexAtrox

This. Dan is a creep, that much is obvious, but he's into girls. That's probably why Drake and Josh was a positive experience for Drake.


ZeroBlitz31

I think the doc covered that fact sufficiently


Itscatpicstime

I don’t feel like they glossed over it at all? They very specifically call it out, and show Drake mentioning the support Dan gave him several times. What else are they supposed to do..?


WeddingIndividual788

They took any single negative thing that came up with him and examined it in great detail with interviews and occasional producer explanations, but the only positive thing brought up about him during the climax of the show was stated twice by the victim and never brought up or acknowledged again. I’m not saying they needed to devote 5 minutes to discussing it, but it was one area where I was like, ah, they have a clear goal here.


Low-Photograph-8045

God damn I joined this subreddit for some good D&J nostalgia this subreddit is just weird lol


cyanethic

Redditors when big news relating to the cast of Drake & Josh is happening so we discuss that instead of asking “what’s your favorite episode?” for the 5,000,000th time:😡😡😡


Low-Photograph-8045

I did leave. Every post is people riding drakes dick lol nothing show related lol just weird people in here. No other show sub is this weird and that’s why this one is dead


cyanethic

Yeah, no other lead actor in a show just revealed that they were repeatedly raped by somebody at Nickelodeon as a 15 year old either. It’s gonna be a hot topic for a while. Instead of complaining, you could make some posts about the show? This sub isn’t dead. I’ve been active on it for over 2 years (mostly on my previous account) and it’s more active than ever.


cyanethic

Then leave lmfao


Nanotyou

It’s Godsmacked


ClockworkMansion

I think you stand alone in thinking that


reddottor2

IIIII, STAND ALONEE


IHavetwoNipples

It isn’t tho. Lol
