Drake Bell 'Devastated' By James Marsden & Others Who Signed Letters of Support For Brian Peck

James Marsden and 'Boy Meets World' stars were among those who wrote letters in support of Nickelodeon's Brian Peck. Court documents from the former Nickelodeon employee and convicted sex offender's trial — including the 41 letters in support — were unsealed for the first time in nearly 20 years for the docuseries 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.' At the time, the identity of the child actor who was abused by Peck was unknown publicly, however in the third episode of the series, actor Drake Bell came forward, revealing he was the child in question.

James Marsden & More Signed Brian Peck Letters of Support, "Devastated" Drake Bell | THR News

Ban and cancel them all blaming a kid is disgraceful

[Natalie_Milana]

So James Marsden writing letters about Brian Peck is basically Ashton Kutcher/Masterson situation all over again! What's worse is that I was a fan of both Ashton and James.

[lolitamoonprod]

Disgraceful. How could any of these celebrities signed a letter to support that child abuser.

[Blockburner.]

They are literally blaming the victims

[Mark-qgj]

Its sad that someone needs to be shamed into doing the right thing. These actors disgust me.

[RomanPhilosopher]

Man. I just lost all respect for Marsden... wow

[normadgarmez]

What worse than a child predator? The people that enabled and supported them.

[thaiduitx]

The Ned Declassified guy's comments are disgusting and all of them are laughing it up in the background too.

[ChristopherFreeman]

That segment in quest on set when they unsealed these letters they thought the public would never see and the way they blame the child as being too sensual or something was one of the scariest parts of the documentary.

[PetProjects]

"Apologized after facing backlash."
Tells you everything about the person.

[ChassieNix]

When people defend these types of people, I always asks, “Have they done this too?”

[ytuser_]

I don’t think I want James Marsden to pop up in Deadpool & Wolverine, Sonic 3, or on any screen again

[THambrough]

I am most disappointed in James, Ryder, and Will...my childhood actors. They've let us all down with this. Shame, man.

[Brunomgonzalez]

I will never understand people saying "I've known this person my whole life and never saw this type of behavior." When someone is convicted of a crime against a child your words of support only bring out your true colors. I believe most don't deserve an ounce of forgiveness and the few that do are actively showing remorse/helping create a better environment by exposing their ways on how they did it. Child actors need to be supervised all the time on set, no reason to have a one on one lesson behind closed doors without a parent with them.

These celebrities wrote the letters knowing very well he already pleaded no contest which is the same as guilty fro lewd acts with a minor and they still wrote letters of support. No question they thought it would never come out but it did. Shame on them for knowingly supporting a child molester.

[FaithCannon]

Will Friedle playing batman who is a character that believes in Justice for the young and the old supporting a child molester is crazy to me.

[rodzalez]

Los all respect if any for these actors

[cristinaapariciolinale]

for me James Marsden is cancelled, the others (Rider, Taran, Alan, Will and the others... are too) but lets face it, they dont really have a career so theres not much to cancel

[carlalaudicinaLFC]

I'm so sorry to Drake and his other victim survivors

[meganhussey]

The effect all of this has had on the ABUSER? Beyond belief.
