A Bit About Drake Bell’s Career and Past Life
The television series “Drake & Josh” follows stepbrothers Drake Parker (Bell) and Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) over the course of four seasons from 2004 to 2007. With an average audience of roughly 3 million people at the time, the series gave rise to two TV movies, 2008’s made-for-TV Merry Christmas and Drake & Josh, and was one of Nickelodeon’s highest-rated shows.
On the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series The Amanda Show, which aired for three seasons between 1999 and 2002, Bell gained popularity alongside Amanda Bynes and Josh Peck.
The pair most recently shared screen time in 2015’s Grandfathered, an episode of Peck’s ill-fated Fox sitcom. Since then, they’ve had a widely reported falling out.
Drake Bell Controversy In A Nutshell
In case you don’t know, Bell entered a plea guilty to both a misdemeanor charge of spreading material harmful to minors and a felony charge of attempting to injure children in June 2021.
Following the Variety report, these claims are related to a 2017 event involving Bell, who was 31 at the time, and a 15-year-old girl he met online. Authorities claim that Bell and the minor exchanged social media messages that were “sexual in nature.” Resultantly, he was given a sentence of 200 hours of community service and two years of probation.
Bell was detained for a DUI in 2015, and his bail was set at $20,000. He spent four days in jail in that situation after entering a no-contest plea to a misdemeanor.
According to some reports, the actor lately was relocated to Mexico, took the last name Campana, and then released two music videos, one of which featured the musician Jorge Blanco.
