Will Friedle and Rider Strong, who wrote letters of support for Brian Peck in his 2003 case against Drake Bell, have spoken out for the first time following the release of the “Quiet on Set” documentary.
At the time, Peck was accused of sexually abusing a then-unnamed, underage teen. Both Friedle and Strong had been close friends with him and were asked to write character letters in his defense, something they revealed during a February episode of their podcast after getting a call that a documentary was being made. One month later, the “Quiet on Set” trailer revealed that Bell was the 15-year-old victim who was assaulted by 43-year-old Peck.
