The 'Drake Bell Abuse Allegations' meme trend emerged following the March 2024 release of the Investigation Discovery docuseries 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.' In the series, former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell identified himself as the survivor in the 2004 sexual assault case involving dialogue coach Brian Peck. This revelation sparked a massive wave of internet discussion, with memes often serving as a medium for social commentary, expressions of support for Bell, or criticism of the television industry's history. The templates typically utilize stills from the documentary or archival footage to highlight the contrast between the cheerful public image of early 2000s television and the hidden realities behind the scenes.
