The stars of “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” are admitting they messed up by making some jokes about ‘Quiet On Set’ … claiming they didn’t understand the magnitude of the docuseries until now.
Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee — who starred in the hit Nickelodeon show during its three-season run — took some time on a podcast episode released Thursday to address controversial jokes they made about the shocking documentary.

In their new episode, Werkheiser and Lee try to explain their comments to fans … saying they weren’t talking specifically about Drake Bell … but in the confusion of the moment, it came out that way.
ICYMI … the trio was on TikTok Live when they were asked to comment on the new television project full of claims of child sexual abuse at the network.
They say a lot — and acknowledge they probably shouldn’t joke about the series — but Devon also uses the phrase “give me your holes” during the clip … and Drake Bell responded on social media, blasting the three.
The stars say they were multitasking, and the whole moment was simply chaotic … but they know they shouldn’t have made any jokes — especially now that they’ve seen the doc.
Werkheiser and Lee say they finally get the serious nature of what ‘Quiet On Set’ revealed … and, they say they would’ve been outraged too had they watched Drake tell his story and then seen someone seemingly cracking jokes at his expense.
Important to note here … the crew says they’re mortified Drake saw them making their comments, but they don’t directly apologize — never using “I’m sorry” in the convo as far as we can tell.
Drake hasn’t responded on social media to the acknowledgment … but, the ‘Ned’s’ stars seem determined to put the incident behind them.
