In The Darkest Secret, Drake Bell makes his bombshell revelations about Brian Peck, who was his acting and dialogue coach. Drake's co-star from Drake & Josh, Josh Peck, didn't feature in this episode (Josh and Brian aren't related), but we see Joe Bell, Drake's father, giving an account of how he was freezed out by the production crew when he expressed concerns about Brian and his way-too-close interactions with Drake, and upon reflection we wonder about the neglect from the production company in failing to step in. Drake is very brave for telling his story in Quiet on the Set and hopefully can serve as a warning for child actors generally.

misleading content & sensationalized hysteria

Warning: Spoilers
The kid's got serious credibility issues, let's not beat around the bush here. This quasi-documentary is just like "Leaving Neverland" from 2019, discredited after it was revealed both James Safechuck and Wade Robson lied to the filmmakers about Michael Jackson. Same thing here: Drake Bell is just another James Safechuck - minimizing his own role in the consensual relationship he himself initiated with Brian Peck. Why do I think this? Because I've known guys just like him in real life! Opportunistic, deceitful, ungrateful manipulators. Perfect at playing the martyr and always lots of drama and blaming others. Shame on the producers of "Quiet On Set" for not doing their due diligence to research evidence that would actually support Drake's side of the story.
