'Boy Meets World' Stars Express Regret Over Fellow Actor's Child Molestation Charges

Will Friedle, Danielle Fishel and Rider Solid goes to the 2023 iHeartRadio Live concert at T-Portable Field on September 22, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In Monday’s episode of “Pod Meets World,” the web recording recapping episodes of ABC’s long-running Philadelphia-based sitcom “Boy Meets World,” previous child stars Danielle Fishel (Topenga), Rider Solid (Shawn), and Will Friedle (Eric) discuss their experience working with sentenced sex victimizer Brian Peck, as per Assortment.

In 2004 Peck, who was a visitor on two “Boy Meets World” episodes, was sentenced for physically mishandling an obscure Nickelodeon child actor and burned through 16 months in jail. Peck’s story will be highlighted in the forthcoming “Quiet on Set” docuseries that ganders at past supposed maltreatment at Nickelodeon.

Neither Solid or Friedle blame Peck for contacting them in fittingly, however they conceded feeling abnormal around Peck, who, they said, had improper associations with youngsters on set. Deep was near Peck.

“This was the kind of thing where the individual he introduced was this incredible, interesting person who was great at his particular employment, and you needed to spend time with,” Friedle said. “I saw him consistently, spent time with him consistently, conversed with him consistently.”

Peck called Friedle crying when he was faulted for the bad behavior. “My inclination at first was, ‘Old pal, this can’t be. It’s should be the other person’s weakness,” Friedle said.

Regardless, he came to mourn that decision, especially after he sat in favor of Peck in the court during the preliminary.

“We were sitting in that court on some unacceptable side of everything,” Friedle said. “The difficulty’s mom turned and imparted, ‘Take a gander at each of the celebrities you conveyed with you. Plus, it doesn’t change how you treated my child.’ I just stayed there hoping to pass on. It was like, ‘What on earth am I doing here?’ It was surprising very far around.”

Strong and Friedle formed letters to the designated expert in favor of Peck, they said on the webcast. They are living with the culpability.

“We weren’t retold the whole story, but it doesn’t meaningfully impact the way that we got it going,” Friedle said. “I really can’t get the words out to depict all that I’m feeling inside myself.”
