In a TikTok video which is now going viral, Werkheiser addresses Lee offscreen and says, “Daniel, we told you never to speak about that. Get back in your hole, Daniel, and give me your holes.” “Sorry, we shouldn’t joke about this. We really shouldn’t. Our set was not like that. No, it’s fucking awful. The Drake Bell shit, that’s crazy to hear. That is fucked. And that never came out, which is really wild. Really wild,” Werkheiser says.
Drake responded on X on Monday night. He wrote, “Ned’s Declassless…this is wild…laugh it up guys…laugh it up. ‘Give me your h*les!!’ Really?!”
The child actor also released a new music video on Monday night, titled I Kind of Relate.
