Drake Bell Overcomes Abuse, Finds His Voice & Beauty in the Pain

What happens when a child is accused of seducing an adult? When people you thought were your friends take the side of your abuser? Rehab Helped Drake Bell Find the Strength to Share His Story of Abuse From his traumatic past as a child actor to his battle with the stigma of being a "former child star", Drake Bell (singer-songwriter, actor, former Nickelodeon star) opens up like never before about what it was really like coping with the abuse he endured for YEARS before the QUIET ON SET documentary aired, and his feelings on the public's reaction to the doc. He shares how opening up to the public has been both painful and healing, how his rehab journey was the turning point that led him to finally share his story, and what it was like reading letters of support for his abuser from people he thought were his friends for the first time when the documentary aired. Drake Bell also discusses: - How his boundaries being constantly violated by his abuser led to him having difficulty setting boundaries with others later in adulthood - Why he never wanted to be a role model for kids - His take on the questionability of the kids' tv content detailed in the QUIET ON SET doc - Emotional toll the stigma of the "Former Child Star" has had on him - Impact of growing up with divorced parents & how it's shaped the way he co-parents with the mother of his son - Leaving Hollywood Behind?: Drake shares his deep desire to leave Hollywood and the freedom he’s found through music, which he calls his therapy - His unexpected rise to fame in Mexico PLUS....Drake professes his love for Jeopardy—including an exclusive chat with Mayim Bialik about her hosting duties! We're kicking off an awesome new year of episodes with a HUGE episode you won't want to miss - TUNE IN to MBB NOW to start 2025 off right!

Drake Bell's latest album, latest album, Non-Stop Flight:

There are artists who make hits, and then there are artists who create something so unique, so revolutionary, that their music becomes a defining moment in the landscape of sound. Drake Bell is ready to stake his claim among the latter with his upcoming album Non-Stop Flight—a record that promises to do for modern pop what Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds did for rock. Forget the fame, forget the past. If you want to know Drake Bell’s story, you’ll have to listen.
