After claiming that “ties are officially cut” when he didn’t make it to former BFF Josh Peck’s wedding guest list, Drake Bell claims he is over the issue.
“There are no hard feelings,” he told People after deleting passive-aggressive tweets towards his former “Drake & Josh” co-star:

But like most people, Bell found out about Peck’s wedding only after the fact. “I was caught off guard. I hadn’t heard of anything about it,” he said.
On the other hand, co-stars from the now-defunct series “Grandfathered” were invited to Peck’s wedding ceremony to long-time girlfriend Paige O’Brien, like lead John Stamos who appeared to rub salt into the wound:
I got invited to the wedding and I didn’t even want to go. #Honeymoon
Bell called Peck his “best friend for 18 years,” and claimed that they talked on a regular basis. Peck hasn’t made any public statement to the alleged feud since.
He was more surprised at fans’ reactions, which blew up after they saw he wasn’t at the wedding. “I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. I did not realize that it was going to have such a viral effect,” he said in the report.
He also wasn’t cool with insults against Peck: “That’s my bro you know? It’s kind of one of those things were you’re fighting with him on the playground, but if someone else says something, you’re like — ‘Hey, I can say that but you can’t!’”
And for him, ties still aren’t officially cut. “I would love to [do a reunion], if it’s done the right way,” he said. Niña V. Guno/JB
