I saw a piece of this on tiktok from their page now that interview they did for this trying to get ahead of the documentary is completely wiped out. Everything from 2024 to 2022 is completely gone.

Im so freaken surprised at Rider Strong amd Will Friedle. I'll never look at Boy Meets World the same way again after how they defended Hollywood and were way more concerned over the image of that show rather than what happened to an innocent boy. Defending a pedo is one of the worst things you can do. Those 2 tainted the image of their show

i have very little respect for the fact the man in court they were supporting went to jail and what now 20 years later you speak about it why so drake bell doesn’t make u all look like creeps who were pedo protectors yeah you could have apologized or said some thing way sooner that’s gross that you were in the court room and didn’t do jack sorry but now i can not view these ppl in the same light as i did befor

HOW DID DRAKE BEING THE VICTIM NOT GET LEAKED??? THEY SAW HIM IN THE COURT ROOM. I'M JUST SURPRISED

I really hate and don't understand why people comment online about incidents involving actors/celebrities and make assumptions about them or attack them online. If there is a dispute over whether or not the actors themselves knew the whole story behind this issue before defending him, then you definitely don't have the whole story. And saying things like: "they were my role model -not anymore" or "I'm not a fan anymore, that's disgusting" is pointless. It won't change anything, and what happened happened. Why don't you learn more about those actors instead, or see their good attributes, all they did was defend someone, who I believe they thought was innocent, which was a mistake on their part. But they didn't commit a crime. And nobody is slamming Peck online for this! Like, he was the one who actually had 8 counts relating to child abuse and grooming. It's a waste of time going after good actors who mess up sometimes than legitimately bad people. I've heard people say that what these actors did was "disgusting" = defending someone they thought they should trust. No. What's disgusting is what Peck did to that kid.

They are just trying to get ahead of the news...btw something about danielle fishel is off...crazy eyes

[centerstagemediaoutlet]

I looked at Will like a legit big brother and I BELIEVED that he was the type of person to stand up for you. I just didn't did t think I had to be a child molester for him to have my back. This hurt me.

[quasimodo]

Having no idea?!? This was the sentencing! He was already convicted and you had NO IDEA?!? disgraceful

[KeeperSeekerX]

Its easy to make a mistake when you don't have the whole story.

Wow but once you found out why not get up and move to the other side……STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU’ll FALL FOR ANYTHING. Shame on you guys. It’s heartbreaking I was a fan not anymore….
