Drake Bell is creating quite a stir online after nude photos, believed to be of the former Nickelodeon star, surfaced.
The 31-year-old has been quiet about the alleged leak, but it's pretty much all his fans are talking about. Reactions have been mixed.
'That leak of Drake Bell got me shoot to the core,' one Twitter user wrote.
Drake Bell fans can't stop buzzing about nude photos of the former Nickelodeon star online
While some said their childhoods were forever ruined, others couldn't help but make Drake & Josh jokes. A few of Bell's fans tweeted photos of Miranda Cosgrove, who played Drake (Bell) and Josh's (Josh Peck) little sister on the show, looking menacingly at a computer. Others blamed her for the leak, in jest of course.
Amid the comical reactions are more serious ones about revenge porn.
'Isn't viewing drake bells nudes like the blac chyna situation an invasion of privacy similar to the last major celeb leak [sic]?' someone tweeted.
It remains unclear who leaked the photos and whether they are, in fact, of Bell.
Here's what you need to know about the alleged Drake Bell nude photo leak.
Drake Bell's nudes
This isn't the first time nude photos of Drake Bell have circulated online. Last time, however, the actor was the one to release the intimate snapshot.
On February 14, 2018, the former tween actor released a photo of himself naked with only his hand protecting his modesty. He shared the photo on Instagram and in a People magazine exclusive as promotion for his single, Rewind, and his upcoming tour.

The video for the song was equally racy. In it, Bell is shown performing oral sex on a woman. Bell isn't believed to be behind the latest nude photos, which may or may not be of him.

I’ve not seen a wide condemnation of the Drake Bell leak yet, revenge porn is a horrible thing...people seriously need to change attitudes on these pic/video leaks.

Drake Bell hasn't addressed the nude photos on Twitter at present. He has been active on the platform since the photos surfaced, but hasn't alluded to them in any way.
Instead, he's been focused on promoting his new film, Cover Versions. He also recently tweeted a YouTube link to his NSFW Rewind music video, which first came out on Valentine's Day 2018.

It all started with Found A Way, a song written and performed by Bell. The song was featured as the Drake and Josh theme song.
In 2006, Bell signed with Universal Motown. He released his first single, I Know, in October of that year. His album, It's Only Time, came out in December 2006 and charted at No. 81 on the Billboard 200.
