“I have known Brian [Peck] since 1981. We were both in our first movie together. We both played nerds so none of the other cast members talked to us because they thought we really were nerds. So we spent the six weeks it took to shoot the film, ‘The Last American V-rgin’, together. I was struck by how nice Brian [Peck] was.
He was totally generous with his time and advice, I had never acted before and he helped me do everything. After that we became best friends and did all kinds of things together. We have become like family. Sharing holidays at my house with his parents and my parents, going on vacations together, making our way in this business and avoiding all the rotten people that are so attracted to acting, and actors.”

She went on to claim that she believes “Brian [Peck] was pressured and pushed beyond belief before he caved in with [Redacted]” and asked the judge to see the “rarity of an honest, sweet, and caring man.”

Drake Bell Calls Out Kimmy Robertson For Letter Of Support
On Wednesday, April 3, ahead of the bonus ‘Quiet On Set’ episode which will be released on April 7, Drake Bell took to his Instagram Stories to call out Kimmy Robertson for supporting his alleged abuser.
“Wrote the worst of all support letters for my abuser!!” Bell wrote on his Stories alongside a post from Robertson’s Instagram page.
In Robertson’s letter, she accused Bell of coming onto Peck and “wanting to be alone in a room with him.”
“Until now, I had the misfortune of working on a [REDACTED] TV show. I’ll make this short… I noticed this young man kept asking me about Brian [Peck] and generally being ‘sleuth-like,'” she wrote in the letter. “I also noticed no gay male ie: make-up/hair, or P.A. want to be alone in a room with him.”

She continued, “I knew that Brian [was] helping [REDACTED] with his new resumé and talked to Brian about this guy. Brian said he would never be alone with him or anyone under 21 ever again, that he had made amends and not to worry.”

Her letter continued, “I believe with all my heart that Brian was pressured and pushed beyond belief before he caved in with [REDACTED]. An outrageous overtly gay, oversexed person with no idea what he is doing to Brian, Brian’s family, and Brian’s friends. He totally took advantage of Brian’s willingness to help anyone who needs it.”
In a second Instagram Story, Bell reshared a post from Robertson’s Instagram page of her taking a selfie with Brian Peck from 2018, writing, “Proudly displayed on her Instagram,” and tagged the actress.
