Full interview: Drake Bell reflects on the aftermath of ‘Quiet on Set’ in TODAY exclusive 

Yeah. Drake Bell seems like a sweet and genuine human being.

I don't think I like that style. The person is going to change the train of thought anyways and now the next point is lost as well.

He was already finishing the sentence, shes trying to direct the conversation. She was constantly trying to finish his sentences.

@@tatertotter808 I think it helps because it shows they want to make clear what he is saying so people understand, because when people speak a lot of times what they are thinking is not said out loud but they don't realize they might need to fill in the blanks for the listeners to fully understand.

you think he's reading these comments?

@@TheWNK I'm not sure, probably not, but the internet is still public and as a person I'd rather be a ripple of positivity than cause a wave of cruelty for people who has been known to struggle emotionally and mentally from a SA.

Love that quote❤

just because he was abused is no excuse for his actions, only reason he’s doing this is so he can get his reputation back 🤦🏻

​@@mattg1611His reputation has been tarnished unfairly and continues to be tarnished due to superficial people who continue to repeat false accusations with superficiality without thinking that Drake Bell is not a fictional character but is a human being who does not deserve to suffer unfairly and deserves respect.

Yes that also the victim to victimizer cycle

@@norrrlife No victimizer. He wrote text messages to someone who lied about her real age.

He did it because that’s what his lawyer told him to do.

I don't think there's a word to properly describe this.

With paintings by serial killers and letters with them by those in the film business, do you think witnesses are afraid to testify or fear for their life? Do you think it's possible that establishment wanted to silence Drake Bell MORE because he knew of this dark proclivity that implicates Others?

With stories like his and Jennette McCurdy's, my feeling is that we need to find some way to outlaw child stardom.

Drake bell perpetuated his own cycle of abuse. He is a child predator and went to court for being an abuser and they never denied any claims of His abuse, only excused it.

Except it was proven that the accuser was lying about the full story and that he stopped communication directly after. But ya know, go ahead and leave out important facts to try to tear someone down

@@bigfreak he pled guilty to text messages, she claimed images had been sent, none were found. SA allegations didn’t align with witness statements. He has served his probation & it’s helped him get to where he is today. It took a lot of strength for him to reveal his identity & he is processing his trauma each & every day. You’re never ‘cured’ from trauma but you learn how to cope with it in more positive ways. If you don’t want to see/hear about Drake bell then why are you here?

@@bigfreak I am begging you to watch the interview.

He does seem nice...

Beautifully said!

20:14 onwards

Yesss that was what happened, your such a goat for posting the truth

👍👍👍

And as he said in another interview, he wanted to fight the charges but his lawyer said a trial would've required weeks away from his family and weeks of embarrassing headlines. So it was much quicker to just plead out.

There is absolutely no comparison between the brutal torture he went through irl and text messages to someone he shouldn’t have been texting, people make me sick

Im so sorry I hope you are doing ok, just remember the things someone did you doesn't defind you

Hope you’re doing ok 😪 These things may have happened to you but you can see the light again xx

I hope you can heal from your past. And may that person who hurt you rot to pieces.

I also personally feel that Dan might’ve just been friendly with him so that he didn’t turn against him later on, but that’s just me speculating 😶

@@lorena.e!!!

Originally I thought that too. Then I hear how Dan pretty much ignored the boys.

That's weird

Me too, sadly. I'm 33yo and I have seen it from minors my entire life, especially the girls. It's honestly terrible and I won't have children because of it.

​@@amberanderson7153 yup! 36 here and will not be having children. And I've also seen other girls and been one of the underage girls that straight lied about age.

He also mentioned he was 31 and thought she was 19. That’s creepy enough alone that it makes me question the rest of his intentions.

Yes

Too many terminally online people wanna cancel somebody they don't even know!

He admits in this interview himself that he was having inappropriate chats with an underage girl and that he shouldn't have done that. So not exactly BS.

​@@BarnAvDenWebbYes but he didn't know she was underage cause she lied

@@Ry-vh3js even if it’s true that she lied, that girl looked like a child. He knew she was a young girl and that’s still predatory. What happened to him is terrible but it’s not an excuse to victimize someone else

@@jordynaponte8936 being interested in much younger and consenting adult women is perhaps superficial, but it is not a crime, and he only texted , he has not victimized anyone.

The *exact* details aren't known. Just the charges. The court documents are sealed and inaccessible.

@@previll What exact details are you looking for? The TYPE of foreign object that was used!? What kind of drug was used? The charges were an accurate telling of what transpired Ultimately, Drake had things put into his body that should not have been put there and that’s all anyone needs to know

🥰

And he hasn’t revealed too much about really, it’s only when you piece together the different interviews he has done that you start to realize the extent of the abuse and how scared he was and even then he’s not really being detailed (which he doesn’t need to be - he doesn’t owe us that, I’m just making the point that the interviews haven’t been the right place to go in to that much detail, if he wanted to do so)

Yeah and he should see and treat Dan for the creature he is- a monster.

@@Kareena1988 The term monsters are very powerful word. I don't necessarily think that anybody is a monster. I think that some people's minds lack the ability to understand that what they may be doing is wrong. Oftentimes we see criminals spend the vast majority of their life in prison. They come out and they do the exact same thing that they did before. All that time supposed counseling did nothing to change the way they view the wrong that they did. I think some people's minds simply lack the ability to understand that anything you do is a two-way street. For example if I am interested in somebody and I want to do something physical with them they also have to be okay with me doing something physical with them. If they're not then I know I'm not doing it. Some people simply don't understand that. Others will raise in a different time in which in some cases it was told to them that it was expected that if you want to do something physical with someone and you are " " the dominant in that interaction that that person just automatically does what you want them to do. Now we know that's not the case. But that was a belief at one point in time. I always hope that as new generations are born that that philosophy and that the inability to understand that what they're doing is wrong will go away. But it never seems to. That is why it is our job to be hyper vigilant. Hyper aware of the world around us. To make sure that not only are we safe but the ones that we care about and love are safe. Our friends and families. Make sure that they have the opportunity to live a great life just as we do.

@@protector22222 i disagree. They are aware. Dan knew about that Brian guy.

Watch it, drake does as he has fond memories of being on set despite every thing that was going on

Anybody who thinks Drake is a predator is terminally online!

She's also very compassionate. She cares.

Nah ariana blew up and went huge. She just derailing now because she’s a homewrecker. I would say Janette McCurdy was the one left on the curb

Acting kids are generally abandoned from film industry. They should have psychologists by their side to process the (possible) fame. Especially on social media nowadays kids get comments on their looks etc. Parents might catch up some things but not everything. Especially when the kid went into acting to earn the family’s income. I hope in the future parents are allowed on set, there are (pre-checked) therapists or coaches on set to make sure the kid is feeling well. And I also think kids shouldn’t work on set if possible when they actually should be in school. Acting should still be a hobby. Of course a payed one but a hobby. Also kids should be checked if they are there because they want to and not because their parents told them to go.

He was great on All That.

Así es, todo el amor y apoyo , enviamos desde México.

There’s too much to expose in one year. Hollywood people are disgusting

That happens EVERY year. I see people giving this guy too much credit.

​@Maspets because he predicted this and before him it was Cory Feldman

@@isaacgonzalez4139 He didn't predict siht.

no that has nothing to do with it jennette and that creep was not part of the reboot it got canceled due to the strike please stop making things up

And Lorrie Beth.

Schneider was not involved in the reboot. Miranda Cosgrove and Jerry Trainor were mostly in charge of the show and they didnt involve Jeannette out of courtesy of her decision to quit acting. Her book did not have anything to do with the cancellation of the reboot.

❤❤🇲🇽

He’s lucky for what? Being SAd or having his every move plastered over social media & criticised by the internet mafia?

I don't think Dan is suing for QOS saying he sexually abused any of the child stars, I think he's just suing for defamation.... I don't think Dan SA'd anyone, I think he used his power for evil and manipulated his way into getting what he wants and would rather see girls quirt things on themselves and threaten to fire them if they didn't do what he asked.

Plus he was going through his own stuff, he may not have noticed stuff at the time but reflecting back he may now realize/reflect that there were some things that weren’t acceptable
