Read previewDrake Bell says none of the people who wrote letters in support of the Nickelodeon acting coach who sexually abused him when he was 15 have reached out and apologized to him.
AdvertisementBrian Peck worked on "The Amanda Show," which starred Drake Bell alongside Amanda Bynes and Josh Peck (who is unrelated to the dialogue coach).
Kevin Mazur/WireImageBut before that, over 40 people close to Peck, including his family, friends, and high-profile Hollywood stars, wrote letters supporting the Nickelodeon staffer.
According to Bell, none of the letter-writers — which include James Marsden, "Growing Pains" stars Joanna Kerns, "Boy Meets World" stars Will Friedle and Rider Strong — have since privately apologized.
DeSanto told People via his representative that his decision to support Peck was "based on incomplete information given to me" and "had I been fully informed of all the accusations, my support would have been absolutely withheld."
