Is all forgiven between Drake Bell and Rider Strong? It appears so!
As you know, the 37-year-old actor revealed in the docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV that he had been the unnamed child star who had accused convicted child molester Brian Peck of sexual assault in 2003. He publicly opened up for the first about the “extensive” and “brutal” abuse he faced at the hands of the former Nickelodeon dialogue coach at a young age. Truly harrowing stuff.

Amid the documentary, it came out that Rider and his Boy Meets World co-star Will Friedle had been among several stars who penned letters of support for Peck while asking a judge for leniency in the sexual abuse case.

While they sounded genuinely sorry, Drake did not buy it. He called them out on social media for supporting Peck, saying:
He added in a comment about Rider:
Oof. Weeks later, though, Drake and Rider seem to have made amends. The Amanda Show alum took to X (Twitter) on Friday to reveal he and the 44-year-old actor talked things out, saying:
