SPOILER ALERT: Details follow for Season 12, Episode 8 of “ The Masked Singer ,” “ Miley Cyrus Night,” which aired November 20 on Fox. Drake Bell got a bit serious on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” revealing what it felt like to be at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year. Bell, who was unmasked as the Ice King this week, shared some personal thoughts in the voice-over package before his performance.
“I finally felt ready to tell my truth to the world,” said Bell – under the disguise of the Ice King. “And so I did. And then instantly regretted it.
I imagined my words all over the news and the Internet, and totally freaked. I begged them to pull my story. I didn’t want it to run.
But, that power was out of my reach. The night it was released, I was a total disaster. Frozen.
But once I saw how many people could relate, I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders. My story is out there. And I don’t need everyone to understand me.
But I’ve worked hard to put that chapter behind me, which is what I wanted most. For those of you who do stand with me, thank you. Because your support makes me feel like the sky’s the limit.
” Bell-as-Ice King was referring to the Investigation Discovery documentary series “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids’ TV,” in which he shared he personal story of being sexually abused while starring on the Nickelodeon series “Drake and Josh.” Bell has recently been touring across the country,.
