‘Ned’s Declassified’ stars apologize for poking fun at ‘Quiet on Set’ doc that exposed Drake Bell’s assault: ‘We f–ked up’

Werkheiser later admitted that he “felt like a piece of s—t” after the “Drake & Josh” star called them “declassless” and slammed them for “laughing” at his trauma.

“I know it looks like I’m laughing at this and I f—king wasn’t, but I know what it looks like, and that Drake saw it … yeah,” Werkheiser clarified. “I just felt so f—king awful, knowing that Drake saw us in that context.”

Meanwhile, Shaw said she regretted that the group showed such “insensitivity” to such a serious topic.

“I am sorry. I know that that even when there wasn’t an intention or malice behind things people have done for me, I know that it has just helped me when people meet me where I am and recognize like, ‘Hey that was a gut punch, whether it was intentional or not,'” she said. “And, yeah, gut punches suck.”

Werkheiser also apologized to Bell earlier this week after the initial incident made its rounds online.

“I was being an idiot today,” he wrote on X Tuesday. “No way around it. I feel horrible that my dumbass was even speaking about this without seeing it.”

“I watched ‘Quiet on Set’ tonight and am horrified by the gravity of what Drake and others shared. Truly heartbroken over what my fellow actors went through. I can’t believe they weren’t protected. I’m sorry for compounding any hurt.”

In the four-part series, Bell revealed that Peck started molesting him in the early 2000s when he was 15 and working at Nickelodeon.

Peck, who met Bell while filming Season 2 of “The Amanda Show,” was subsequently convicted of sexually abusing an unknown — at the time — child actor.

He was sentenced to 16 months in jail and had to register as a sex offender. However, after serving his time, Peck got a job on Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.”
