It turns out Drake Bell “was just being cranky” when he spoke against Josh Peck.
The “Drake and Josh” stars seemed to be on the outs after Bell went public last month claiming he hadn’t been invited to his former co-star’s wedding.
“True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss ya brotha,” Bell wrote in a series of tweets that he later deleted. “When you’re not invited to the wedding the message is clear. “Loyalty is key… ALWAYS remember where you came from.”
But Bell recently explained to “Entrainment Tonight” that while he had talked to his friend of 18 years about the engagement, he was hurt he only saw photos of the wedding on social media.
“It was just one of those things where it was just, like, ‘You didn’t even tell me? I had to find out on social media,'” Bell said. “And then you’re, like, ‘You know what!? Fine!’ and then I’m, like, wait, I probably shouldn’t have done that.”
The actor said he was surprised at how much media attention the incident received.
He added he was especially upset with some of the negative things people had to say on social media about Peck.
“That bummed me out because I was reading the comments and thinking, ‘Wait a minute, you know, I can say it but you can’t!’ I was wanting to defend Josh,'” Bell said.
According to Bell, the pair have since spoken and cleared the whole thing up.
