Drake Bell Reveals He Spoke to Rider Strong After Calling Him Out on Social Media Amid 'Quiet on Set' Docuseries
Drake Bell and Rider Strong are speaking.
Rider, who became close friends with dialogue coach Brian Peck after meeting on Boy Meets World, was one of the many actors who wrote a letter in defense of the coach’s character after Drake accused him of sexual assault in 2003, as explored in Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
At the time, Brian pleaded no contest to two charges of child sexual abuse, and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. He later had to register as a sex offender.
Drake revealed recently that he reconnected with Rider Strong.
