    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
