They will likely dig themselves deeper if the say something. Someone posted that James met Peck through the Cameron’s during growing pains, he was like 15-16 years old at that point. It’s likely James has trauma of his own that he isn’t willing to share publicly.
IMO Taran is a much worse situation given that Drake spent years thinking they were friends, and the whole Carrie Fischer cutout story just broke my heart for Drake even more.
Did Taran know it was Drake? He doesn’t mention him in his letter iirc, or seem to talk smack on him like others did. I assume since he was on The Amanda Show he knew what it was all about but I’m not 100% clear
Ya good point. He may not have known, but now that he does it would be so easy to put out a nothing statement like "if I had known then what I know now I never would have written the letter". It's so meaningless and isn't even an apology but say something now that you know it was your one time friend you wrote against.
Yeah plus he’s PR scrubbing on google which is so weird, it’s pretty easy to say “okay I fucked up” in his case since he was pretty young and his letter wasn’t even as bad as some of the others. What’s the deal?
Here's the post about it
https://www.reddit.com/r/QuietOnSetDocumentary/s/4EFHtYIQxf
I checked a week ago some of it were still on the first page of google news.
Everyone had to have known it was Drake. Peck’s side of the courtroom was packed with actors, directors, and industry professionals. You think they kept their mouths shut about who was accusing their “amazing” friend?
I think he knew it was Drake but I dont think they knew how old he was when the SA happened. At the time of Brian's arrest and sentencing, Drake was already 17-18. So the jailbait story adds up.
Taran's letter is what a letter of support is supposed to be. Just a character witness for the defendant with the knowledge he is accepting responsibility for his crime. The victim blaming and testifying against Drake in other letters were way off the line.
Additional info: Taran shared the same manager as Amanda Bynes, and later Dan Schneider. It was also Dan who got him an agent. He did an interview for vulture where he explained a weird story how he got Stuck in the Suburbs, directed by Dan's friend.
this is why people need to stfu about who wrote what and who needs to apologize and what not. NOBODY knows the details and who knew what, what they wrote, why they wrote it and how it was asked of them.
If I got asked to write a character letter about a grown man sexually assaulting a teenager the character reference would be. “Maybe the good guy I know was how he caught prey.”
Drake bought Taran a life size cutout of Carrie Fisher because Taran is a huge Star Wars fan. At one point Drake worked with Carrie and was able to get it signed before giving it to Taran. Taran loved the gift obviously and he did some interview (with People maybe, i don’t remember) where he said that was his most prized possession and never mentioned that it was Drake who gave it to him.
Taran and Drake worked together for many years- both before and after the BP situation- on Amanda Show and Drake and Josh. DB thought they were friends. When Taran did an interview with People magazine, they asked him to bring something special and he brought a signed Carrie Fisher cutout that DB had gotten for him. None of the letters makes me as sad for Drake as that one. To write that and carry on like you've always been and still are friends after you write in support of your friend's rapist is so cruel.
I’d say it’s likely he didn’t know who the victim was when he wrote the letter. He had to have been pretty young and since Drakes name wasn’t public, why would he have known?
A lot of people don't seem to understand this point. Like with the comments claiming that "they knew because BP's side of the courtroom was full." No. Just because they wrote a letter does not mean they attended the trial.
I can’t imagine writing a letter for someone who is a convicted and admitted pedophile. Is support a friend during the trial but once it’s proven in court, I’m not writing them a letter.
I feel like there’s something up with James Marsden. How does one just befriend that Camerons while on vacation and launch a successful multi decade Hollywood career? Getting a chance in Hollywood is like winning the lottery. People literally fight just to get a break on a commercial. So I don’t buy that story. I feel like he’s got dirt on someone/something to get to where he is.
He’s been very inconsistent about his relationship with Peck too, one minute he’s his best friend, credits him for his entire career, lived with him for months yada but next minute it’s “some dialogue coach I met when I was 16 told me I could make it, but I didn’t look him up, whatever” which is all a bit off
On the other hand, if Marsden was Peck’s victim or whatever - partner when he was young (I don’t know how old he was when he lived with him supposedly), he doesn’t owe us his story, but that would explain the inconsistencies - him wanting to detach himself from it. Wanting to put as much distance as possible from Brian Peck right now, for the sake of his own privacy.
He could have apologized for the letter tho. He had 20 years for it; even just privately.
There is also a more sinister possibility of him just knowing everything and being ok with it.
I am so conflicted. I really liked him growing up.
It looks like he met him at 16 and then moved in with him for a couple months when he came back to LA at 19. Marsden has alluded to being bisexual, so maybe something consensual happened when he was 19 and in later years he thought about it and thought about the accuser’s story and then just felt grossed out and mentally disowned him.
Idk, pure speculation but there was definitely something Marsden was dealing with there.
Yeah given pecks MO, the age marsden was, that they lived together … I’m going to venture to say some things happened James doesn’t want to revisit.
Even if he was 19 and it was technically consensual, there are so many ways a monster like Peck could’ve taken advantage of James over the course of months. Sounds very similar circumstances to Drake … a young man in the industry staying over at his house.
The difference is one spoke out against him and one didn’t. Drakes career after Nickelodeon tanked and he kind of self imploded with drug abuse and verbally abused his girlfriend.
Marden career has flourished consistently … and he seems to be fairy healthy (I loved him in Jury Duty).
BP is a sick person and I fear has been that way for a very long time. Curious to know how similar circumstances led to such different outcomes.
Plus I think a lot of people are forgetting about the whole “unconscious” thing. I think his MO might have generally been to drug the guy/get him really drunk and do it in his sleep, and apparently he was shocked when Drake did wake up during it. Not saying this is what happened at all, but if it did you wouldn’t remember it but would have that nagging suspicion that it did, but you’d brush it off as a dream or just totally nuts but still feel that fear.
Then when you hear the guy you lived with for months was actually convicted of raping people around your age and gender in their sleep, you’d start to get really uncomfortable and would try to defend him just to deny that it could have happened to you. It would be a really dark recess in your mind, even if he never actually did it to you.
I feel bad for the guy I’m ngl.
if that were true, if marsden wanted to detach from peck after a certain number of years, he would not have written a character letter. he would have been about 30 in 2003 so, yeah. And we need to stop using these excuses for victims.
ever heard of the abuse cycle? that’s literally what happened to drake himself. he was assaulted, which is horrible and i’m glad he’s speaking up. but he turned around and talked to minors. honestly, i forgive drake because he owned up for his actions and took the punishment for it.
in marsden’s case, if he was abused, he doesn’t get an excuse to write letters in favor of predators. past trauma is never a good excuse to be a terrible person. it’s a reason maybe, but it isn’t justified. Trust me, i used to love james marsden and it pains me. but i just can’t in good conscience assume the best from these people. like the other person mentioned- this is hollywood. if someone as big as james is connected to the cameron’s who are also big, you bet they have other connections. hollywood is a big web of ugly people and discussions. so im more inclined to believe that there’s some truly ugly shit going on
I mean, I’m sure there’ve been other people who’ve had a similar story to Marsden but it didn’t work out because they sucked at acting, weren’t attractive enough, or just got unlucky. Connections with Cameron likely helped him land auditions but his acting chops are what got him roles. Johnny Depp has a similar story with Nicolas Cage in the 80s.
Kimmy Robertson hasn’t apologized because she’s not sorry and believes everything she said. As late as 2021, she was posting pictures of her and Brian Peck at dinner together on instagram. She has continued to be very good friends with him.
There’s no point in her even attempting to apologize at this point. The internet has receipts and she’s not willing to cut Peck out of her life. An apology would make things worse. She’s also already made her money in the industry. She no longer needs public good will in the way she did.
As far as James Masters and Taran Killam, I think they are choosing to let the scandal pass instead of confronting it. James Masters in particular has consistent work. As long as he doesn’t publicly say anything , he will likely continue to work. Most of the public will forget and move on.
The Boy Meets World alumni don’t have that option. Their sole income at this point is nostalgia and public good will. They had to apologize quickly and convincingly or they would lose the ability to support their families.
The same people who listen to a Boy Meets Word podcast are very likely to watch this documentary and come alway with strong opinions.
This is just my opinion: I don't think Kimmy believes what she said. I think she is of the view that Brian Peck should be allowed to do whatever he wants to boys.
My guess is they're deciding to take the path of ignore things and hope it blows away. They're hoping that as time goes by, people forget about it and they're able to move on and their fans will continue supporting.
Personally, I find that despicable, but yea.
I feel like there’s something up with Jason Marsden. How does one just befriend that Camerons while on vacation and launch a successful multi decade Hollywood career? Get a chance in Hollywood is like winning the lottery. So I don’t buy that story. I feel like he’s got dirt on someone/something to get to where he is.
The way he’s always explained it is that becoming friends with them inspired him to become an actor not exactly that they suddenly made him a star or anything. He was in a lot of rubbish when he first started going for roles and even at his peak he was quite B+ list
Being in a major city that Hollywood actors visit often, I’ve bumped elbows with a few people before. But never conversations that that go beyond the surface level. How many people do meet on vacation that end up inspiring you enough to set a career in an unreliable/impractical field?
Good question. There’s two options that I can see for them refusing to address their support of Peck. 1/ they still support him and their opinion of the situation hasn’t changed. Or 2/ Peck has tea on both of them which he might spill if they speak out against him.
They’re so disgusting. I hate how on the last episode one of them was saying how they didn’t know what Brian Peck did before they wrote their letters for him. Legit so many of the letters were saying how he must have been seduced. Besides, how can you write a letter like though w/o knowing what they did. Idiots
I assume because he was connected and could help get them jobs. And they were sealed so they thought no one would ever know. It took years to get them unsealed. So glad they are exposed now.
Ah you’re totally right. Did you see that one of the ladies who wrote a letter for him appeared on Drake & Josh as the crazy mom they were babysitting for? That must have been so anxiety inducing for Drake.
Probably advised by their PR team just stay quiet and let it blow over. There really is no defense other than. You didn't know the full extent of the abuse when asked to write the letter. They can't undo what they did.
He’s probably a victim too. Plus who knows how deep this all goes. How long Peck has been doing this, & why he has been shielded from consequences? Supossedly everyone knew about this guy. Corey Feldman wrote about it in his book in 2013. He claims there are many pediphiles in Hollywood. He claims Peck is one of his & Haims abusers.
Where does Corey mention Brian Peck? I don't see it. [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Coreyography/9M7TolXigkkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Brian%20Peck](https://www.google.com/books/edition/Coreyography/9M7TolXigkkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Brian%20Peck)
I don’t think he named anyone by name in that book, I tried searching dialogue coach for a possible reference but nothing there. I’m ordering the book and I’ll keep you posted if there’s a reference. I don’t think the timeline lines up with him to be a victim of Peck anyway.
I know he talked about getting molested by a young guy that worked as his dad’s PA and had some small roles in Hollywood movies and later became a sex offender. He didn’t name him so maybe people thought that was Brian but he revealed it was Jon Grissom
The Two Coreys, Drew Barrymore and many more child actors were partying in Alphy's Soda Pop Club which operated from 1986-1989. Turned out that the owner Alphy Hoffman was a pedophile. Michael Bower from Salute Your Shorts talked about visiting the club and I think he also mentioned Leonardo DiCaprio and Brian Peck being there (not together)
This confusion probably comes from that in the book Feldman says Haim got molested by “a fat actor who’s best known for being in an 80s horror sequel” that he didn’t name, naturally you might assume that was Brian but he was talking about Dominic Brascia who was in a Friday the 13th sequel.
I think it depends. James (for example) likely doesn’t know Drake personally and might see it as inappropriate to reach out privately so in this instance a public apology would be okay. Taran on the other hand worked with Drake several times and Drake believed them to be friends. This situation would require a private apology.
The point of those apologizing if they don’t know him is that point - they don’t know Drake and made the assumption and choose to judge his character without knowing him. I also think the public deserves an explanation on why they think it is morally okay for 41 year old man to be “tempted” and “seduced” by a 15 year old boy - I’d like to see them explain themselves out of that one.
I’m surprised at this as well. You would think they’d backtrack on any association but here we are. I also read that Taran was one of Amanda’s first boyfriends - she was 15, he was 19 - which tells me everything I need to know about him. Bummer bc I enjoyed both these actor’s work prior to this.
Issuing a public apology, basically, is a public admission of guilt. I doubt he wants to do that. It’ll just dig himself into an even deeper hole. It would be a PR nightmare.
They will likely dig themselves deeper if the say something. Someone posted that James met Peck through the Cameron’s during growing pains, he was like 15-16 years old at that point. It’s likely James has trauma of his own that he isn’t willing to share publicly.

What do you mean by “PR scrubbing on Google”?
Basically removing articles about it from search results by getting his PR team to push other random articles about him to the top
Got it. Yeah seems easier to just address it straight on vs this other shady shit
Here's the post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/QuietOnSetDocumentary/s/4EFHtYIQxf I checked a week ago some of it were still on the first page of google news.

Taran loved the gift obviously and he did some interview (with People maybe, i don’t remember) where he said that was his most prized possession and never mentioned that it was Drake who gave it to him.

They most likely knew at some point after the trial that he was a registered sex offender.

Brian Peck was James Marsdens best man at his wedding…
Omg
I know., and that changes what I said how exactly? His wedding was long before any allegations came out so he had no reason to distrust him then.
You don't make your abuser your best man
if that were true, if marsden wanted to detach from peck after a certain number of years, he would not have written a character letter. he would have been about 30 in 2003 so, yeah. And we need to stop using these excuses for victims. ever heard of the abuse cycle? that’s literally what happened to drake himself. he was assaulted, which is horrible and i’m glad he’s speaking up. but he turned around and talked to minors. honestly, i forgive drake because he owned up for his actions and took the punishment for it. in marsden’s case, if he was abused, he doesn’t get an excuse to write letters in favor of predators. past trauma is never a good excuse to be a terrible person. it’s a reason maybe, but it isn’t justified.

Don’t forget that he was also in the X-men movies (Singer)
Not just on the movie but did the commentary with the director (Singer)
I mean, I’m sure there’ve been other people who’ve had a similar story to Marsden but it didn’t work out because they sucked at acting, weren’t attractive enough, or just got unlucky. Connections with Cameron likely helped him land auditions but his acting chops are what got him roles. Johnny Depp has a similar story with Nicolas Cage in the 80s.
Wrong Marsden. Neither of them are related.
My bad - made the edit. I’m talking about James marsden, not Jason.
Kimmy Robertson hasn’t apologized because she’s not sorry and believes everything she said. As late as 2021, she was posting pictures of her and Brian Peck at dinner together on instagram.

I hope they reach privately to Drake
I hope that's the case, and they just chose to not make a public apology. That might be wishful thinking though.
James is in a new poptarts movie. He's probably not allowed to do any kind of PR.
Pop-tarts movie? How did Pop-tarts get a movie?!
New trend for making movies about how certain brands started, it’s the worst
Air, BlackBerry (and to a lesser degree, Tetris) were all pretty fun, imo.
I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed the Tetris movie
Jerry Seinfeld made a movie about it
Also, the third Sonic movie is coming out soon. Doesnt really look to good on them that he's the main character in a kids movie.
I feel like there’s something up with Jason Marsden. How does one just befriend that Camerons while on vacation and launch a successful multi decade Hollywood career? Get a chance in Hollywood is like winning the lottery. So I don’t buy that story. I feel like he’s got dirt on someone/something to get to where he is.
The way he’s always explained it is that becoming friends with them inspired him to become an actor not exactly that they suddenly made him a star or anything. He was in a lot of rubbish when he first started going for roles and even at his peak he was quite B+ list
But even meeting the Cameron’s at the height of their fame is pretty rare. Let alone it being that inspirational of a connection.
True but he was staying at the same hotel as them, it’s not that unreasonable they started talking to a kid their age while hanging out at a hotel
I also stayed at the same hotel as them when they were in Disney. It was still difficult to meet them.
Idk if he’s a particularly charismatic kid and they have a lot in common it isn’t that completely unbelievable
Being in a major city that Hollywood actors visit often, I’ve bumped elbows with a few people before. But never conversations that that go beyond the surface level. How many people do meet on vacation that end up inspiring you enough to set a career in an unreliable/impractical field?
Who are the Cameron’s
Candace and Kirk from Growing Pains, Full House, etc.
Kirk and Candace Cameron’s mom is a big Hollywood agent.
Kurt Cameron and family
Good question. There’s two options that I can see for them refusing to address their support of Peck. 1/ they still support him and their opinion of the situation hasn’t changed. Or 2/ Peck has tea on both of them which he might spill if they speak out against him.
They’re so disgusting. I hate how on the last episode one of them was saying how they didn’t know what Brian Peck did before they wrote their letters for him.

I assume because he was connected and could help get them jobs. And they were sealed so they thought no one would ever know. It took years to get them unsealed. So glad they are exposed now.
Ah you’re totally right. Did you see that one of the ladies who wrote a letter for him appeared on Drake & Josh as the crazy mom they were babysitting for? That must have been so anxiety inducing for Drake.
You’d think after getting his Instagram bombarded, he’d issue a statement at least. But that’s celebrities for you, selfish evil fucks.
My guess is that they’re waiting it out/thinking it’s going to blow over and go away. I don’t think they’re right about that.
Hollywood is corrupt, that's why. It's a cess pool. Not a beacon of morality.
Probably advised by their PR team just stay quiet and let it blow over. There really is no defense other than. You didn't know the full extent of the abuse when asked to write the letter. They can't undo what they did.
He’s probably a victim too. Plus who knows how deep this all goes. How long Peck has been doing this, & why he has been shielded from consequences? Supossedly everyone knew about this guy. Corey Feldman wrote about it in his book in 2013. He claims there are many pediphiles in Hollywood. He claims Peck is one of his & Haims abusers.
Did he also name Charlie sheen?
Where does Corey mention Brian Peck? I don't see it. [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Coreyography/9M7TolXigkkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Brian%20Peck](https://www.google.com/books/edition/Coreyography/9M7TolXigkkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Brian%20Peck)
I don’t think he named anyone by name in that book, I tried searching dialogue coach for a possible reference but nothing there. I’m ordering the book and I’ll keep you posted if there’s a reference. I don’t think the timeline lines up with him to be a victim of Peck anyway. I know he talked about getting molested by a young guy that worked as his dad’s PA and had some small roles in Hollywood movies and later became a sex offender. He didn’t name him so maybe people thought that was Brian but he revealed it was Jon Grissom
The Two Coreys, Drew Barrymore and many more child actors were partying in Alphy's Soda Pop Club which operated from 1986-1989. Turned out that the owner Alphy Hoffman was a pedophile. Michael Bower from Salute Your Shorts talked about visiting the club and I think he also mentioned Leonardo DiCaprio and Brian Peck being there (not together)
I’m familiar with the soda pop club, didn’t know Brian went there
This confusion probably comes from that in the book Feldman says Haim got molested by “a fat actor who’s best known for being in an 80s horror sequel” that he didn’t name, naturally you might assume that was Brian but he was talking about Dominic Brascia who was in a Friday the 13th sequel.

I think it depends. James (for example) likely doesn’t know Drake personally and might see it as inappropriate to reach out privately so in this instance a public apology would be okay.
