If I told you what happened to me and what I knew happened on the set of Victorious is would ruin careers. I used to talk about it all the time and then I had threats on my life etc. FBI asked me if I wanted to pursue it and because I was scared told them no, but after seeing Drake come out with this stuff I am feeling it is soon time again. I just don't want the attention it brings or bring my family into the threats we already faced from it again! You need look no further than the movie "The Virginity Hit" starring Matt Bennett. That's all I have to say for now. It literally makes me sick to my stomach that stuff like this comes out every few years since it happened to me in 2009. I wish it would just go away, but I am glad it is being brought up at the same time and validates the pain I have.

​@@Amyus2346It's a really hard balance. Because as a kid, I remember all the times I was left alone at my best friend's house with her mom, dad, brother, sister and nothing ever happened, because they were normal people and not predators. I also stayed at other friends homes and the same thing. I also think those experiences are good for kids, but you do have to be really vigilant as well as teaching your kids that if something ever feels off or wrong about someone to let you know right away. My dad grew up in the ghetto and I was always glad that he taught me street smarts and that danger can be around me at any time, and how to recognize that. Because of his teachings, I feel that equipped me to be able to judge situations pretty well early on, which I'm sure is what most parents would want for their kids.

Ever since I was 13 years old, I felt envious when I saw young teens on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and other movies. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I use a posture control Kaye walker and a Rovi x3 power wheelchair for mobility. I figured having a small career on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel could help improve my social practice and inclusion. My high school refused to make accommodations for me to take acting classes. Now I understand why my mom and the majority of my family was so hesitant about paying for my classes and my headshots. I'm 29 years old. I’m currently finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in Film at Bridgewater State University by this Christmas. If I was 13 again, I would sign with Disney Channel over Nickelodeon.

@@Evilshtt353 do research? He literally ran to Mexico when he got charged, she and a few others literally went to court and stood in front of an judge. So yea I did do research matter of fact I saw the case itself. IT was actually brought to my attention as a remediation on KZbin. I saw it via video call with his lawyers and the young girl who had evidence. So yea but yea what do I know right? How about you check those court documents they published then come back okay sweetie? Like I said he also became the predator as well and them young girls need justice too.

[@melaninQveen]

@@imjustanameless and yet he never once checked for her age? Oh and yet he ran to Mexico instead of suing her family for defamation of his character?

[@beckscald3855]

​@@melaninQveenhe didn't run to Mexico. He was still in LA for a long time. He did have an event that he had to attend. He's only recently moved there. Also her whole statement was false. He was only ever charged with the texts because he was talking to a minor. Nothing else happened.

[@J4sse]

Why hasn't Dan Schneider been indicted yet?

[@LakeshoreChick]

Glad Drake came forward. It takes a lot guts to speak against networks and producers. Hope he heals 😢

[@artgirl1997]

I agree. Sharing it publicly for the first time in 17yrs that takes a lot of bravery and effort. I can tell he going have a hard time sharing this painful story.

[@emilyseger1421]

That’s depressing. None of these actors (men and women) deserved that. I hope they get help they need if they haven’t already.

[@Unique-cc5rx]

They need to do one on Disney because the producers and creators on Disney channel are just as guilty as the producers and creators of Nickelodeon

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

Disney has hooks in every corner of the world. Stuff like this most likely gets swept under the rug all the time. They’re way too powerful.

[@Unique-cc5rx]

@@ProjectPhoenix21 Even though I conquer with your comment, it's very important to understand that regardless of how much power they have they will still go down.

[@Unique-cc5rx]

@@ProjectPhoenix21 all it takes is for someone like Demi Lovato to write a memoir and then have it exposed to the public

[@LMusicloverKi09]

I feel so bad for drake bell because Dan is the one who should be in jail/prison where he belongs to.

[@mramazing9568]

Why did you have to use the picture of him holding a bunch of Pickles?

[@beckscald3855]

That's a clip from the documentary.

[@rachelfan121]

These were shows I grew up watching and to know what these actors went though behind the scenes is appalling I hope every network that has children or young adults working has safety protocols in place to project their actors

[@pip9934]

“I wake up and he was SA me” this breaks my heart

I wrote about what happened to me in my childhood “The girl who was abused”. For sale online only.

[@MaryAX]

The title - for not saying "ALLEGED" 🔬 you get plenty of points

[@sarahruss5556]

Yeah, I believe him, and look at Amanda Bynes. Look at a lot of the nickelodeon kids now turned adult that aren’t OK.

[@FabiolaPriceMakeup]

woow, i'm so sad about how these show we're so significant into our childhood but cost dearly to the actors making them. i pray they found peace! Thank you for speaking up, has was also sexualy abuse child as well and i just wanted toi thank you for speaking up... it's not easy but talking help so many other victims. ❤‍🩹 sending a virtual hug to Drake Bell

[@ahill4642]

Bravo Drake Bell. huggggggg… So brave to come forward.

[@ej735]

Corey Feldman been saying this years no one believe him they made him look crazy

[@maffieduran]

Corey Feldman once said it was ok for women to r4pe boys and he has several allegations against him.

[@Xx1nf3ct3d_Sc4bzxX]

Isn't Drake Bell also a groomer though...and fled to Spain and started a music career over there because of it?... its terrible what happened to him as a child but he also did the same to a child as an adult... (Edit: added a reply that swiftly got deleted or reported 🤔 I addressed that there are tons of victims including myself that don't hurt other people... some things are unacceptable. There's nothing wrong with him sharing his story but it should be shared that he has a history of endangering minors just like the people that endangered him as a child. To prevent vicious cycles of abuse these people should be put on a registry and get the proper help they need... Most people dont even know about Drake Bell endangering a ch1ld... that's scary.)

[@ScammerTrolling]

nope

[@lisah8438]

What does rhat have to do with this though? Let's not discredit him being a victim. Hurt people, hurt people. His story need to be told.

[@Theeighthdoctor1996]

I'm not making excuses for him or pedo's in general but that happens with most pedo's they get abused and sometimes they end up being left with the mindset that it's a normal thing to do

[@Xx1nf3ct3d_Sc4bzxX]

@@lisah8438 if you read my comment you can see i didn't discredit him being a victim at all.. i clearly acknowledged it, but there are tons of people that are victims and don't hold the "hurt people hurt people" mentality... i have dealt with "SA" and gr00ming as a child and teen years and have never thought to do this to another person in my life and that goes for some other people that have dealt with early childhood 4buse as well... some things are just unacceptable. His story should be told to help others but people should also be aware that he has a past of endangering m1n0rs as well. 2 things can be true at once. a cautionary warning.

[@jayr3053]

Yes. Exactly. He sent that girl nudes

This breaks my heart we love and support you drake thanks for making our childhoods fun sorry you endured this to do so ❤so sorry hope this brings you peace what a hero 🐐

[@lynnb5726]

A year....A YEAR? That's all he got for doing what he did?

[@Starfir33]

So proud of you drake for Speaking up

[@ADR199E]

Imagine all the kids on allllll the shows….. Nickelodeon - All That - Amanda Show - Drake & Josh - Just Jordan Etc, the list goes on…. That’s insane….. Dan Schneider & Brian Peck and any one else who supported these groups but weren’t mentioned yet definitely need to be held accountable and the “I’m sorry” Dan gave isn’t enough… Dan & Brian both need to be charged.

[@jocelyncarr1829]

You see what they did to Amanda Bynes

[@AggravatedCassowary.]

We can criticize the actions of these former child stars, but it is a fact that many were abused whether it was sexually or not. It can ruin a kids perception of relationships and how to treat others. This goes for every child, not just stars. It has to be so confusing and awful for them.

[@melissawood8324]

Morr and more child stars are coming to the forefront about this stuff. It's crazy!

[@Nat524Ricci]

Kids who are abused can become abusers if they don’t get the help that they need. I pray Mr Bell seeks this help so he can put a stop to his own abusive actions.

[@Hectorferjr2]

The judge pointed out that the girl accusing Drake lied under oath.

[@prettypoppin_552]

Poor Drake😢. Smh

[@AdventureMan07]

I hope they keep speaking out. There’s most definitely still so much untold.

[@shin-oni4223]
