Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw, and Daniel Curtis Lee have issued a public apology to Drake Bell following backlash over insensitive remarks made during a TikTok live session. 

Bell criticized the former cast members of Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide after they joked about his childhood trauma stemming from sexual abuse.

This occurred during a discussion about the docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. 

Bell recently disclosed being a victim of “unspeakable” and “brutal” sexual abuse by his former dialogue coach, Brian Peck, featured in the series. 

Werkheiser, Shaw, and Lee were seen briefly laughing and making inappropriate comments, with Werkheiser jokingly instructing Lee to “get back in your h*le” before retracting the statement, acknowledging the insensitivity of their words.

Drake expressed outrage towards former stars following their inappropriate comments during a TikTok Live session. 

The trio later addressed the incident on their podcast explaining that their comments were taken out of context.
