The "Drake & Josh" star Drake Bell says a Nickelodeon dialogue coach sexually abused him when he was 15. AdvertisementDrake Bell is speaking out for the first time about sexual abuse he says he experienced as a 15-year-old child star. Bell starred on "The Amanda Show" from 1999 to 2002 before landing his own Nickelodeon series, "Drake & Josh," which debuted in 2004. Peck was arrested in August 2003 on 11 charges related to allegations that he'd sexually abused an unnamed child. Brian Peck worked on "The Amanda Show," which starred Drake Bell alongside Amanda Bynes and Josh Peck (who is unrelated to the dialogue coach).

For many Nickelodeon actors, life at the network was surreal, the "Amanda Show" actor Raquel Lee told Insider. Schneider set up a meeting to discuss the situation. On the one hand, the success of Schneider's shows provided rare stability in a chaotic industry. None of Schneider's shows credited more than two female writers in the entirety of their runs; "Zoey 101" and "Drake & Josh" had zero. The writer wrote that Schneider once pressured her into simulating "being sodomized" while she was telling a story about high school, to her embarrassment.
