I was kind of put into it by my dad but, you know, good. I really love it, and I still do it." Bell's first televised commercial was for Whirlpool Appliances.

Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and was required to register as asex offender for life.[131][132] Because of his age, Bell's identity as the victim was not publicly revealed in the court records. Bell first revealed his identity and shared his experience in the 2024 documentaryQuiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.[129] According to the creators of the documentary, a number of high-profile Hollywood stars submitted character references in support of Brian Peck.

In April 2023, Bell was reported "missing and endangered" by theDaytona Beach Police Department in Florida. He was found safe a few hours after the public alert was issued. It was later reported that the "endangered" status was triggered after Bell's brother contacted police, alleging Bell had sent suicidal text messages. Deputies of the Daytona Beach Police said they “took action” to ensure Bell received a mental health evaluation.[136][137]
On December 29, 2005, Bell, then 19 years old, and a friend of his were driving fromMalibu toLos Angeles when, while stopped at a red light onCalifornia State Route 1, the two were struck by an oncoming vehicle.[138] Though Bell's passenger suffered only bruises, Bell suffered more severe injuries, including acervical fracture of his neckvertebrae, a broken jaw, the loss of seven teeth, and deep facial lacerations.[139] As part of his recovery, Bell required more than 70 facial stitches, had to have his jaw wired shut for two months, and underwent surgery on his chin and mouth.[140][141]
In July 2021, Bell revealed that in 2018 he had married his girlfriend of five years and that they had a son.[1] After separating in September 2022, Bell's wife filed fordivorce on April 20, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.[142][143] In August 2025, Bell filed additional documents to proceed with finalizing the divorce inSeminole County, Florida.[144] A spokesperson of Bell said “Their priority remains the safety and well-being of their son, and they are doing so from a place of love and respect.” He also said Bell and his ex-partner are “closing a beautiful chapter of their lives.”[145]
In 2007, Bell purchased a 2,640-square-foot (245 m2) house inLos Feliz for $2,050,000.[146] After Bell filed for bankruptcy inCalifornia in early 2014, the house was taken in foreclosure.[147][148]
As of March 2024, Bell primarily resides inMexico City to record his albumNon-Stop Flight.[149] In an interview with Yordi Rosado on March 24, 2024, Bell revealed that he would like to move to Mexico, telling Rosado "I feel more at home when I'm here. I have more friends here [because] a lot of my friends from Los Angeles have moved to Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and so my relationship with them is on the phone anyway".[150] During the February 2nd episode ofJosh Peck's "Good Guys" podcast in 2026 Bell declared that he is a resident ofCelebration, Florida.[151]
Bell was arrested on December 21, 2015, fordriving under the influence inGlendale, California, at 2:45 am after police officers witnessed him swerving and driving well over the speed limit.[152] He was subsequently released on $20,000 bond and pleaded not guilty.[153] In September 2016 Bell pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four days in jail and four years' probation and would be required to attend an alcohol education program; Bell served only one day for good behavior.[154][155] Bell was previously charged with driving under the influence in 2010 in relation to an incident inSan Diego in 2009.[156]
On June 4, 2021, Bell was indicted inCleveland, Ohio, on charges relating to "attempted endangering [of] children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles."[157] A public information officer with theCuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office, said "the 15-year-old victim attended one of his concerts in December 2017... While there, Bell violated hisduty of care and, in doing so, created a risk of harm to the victim." TheCleveland Police also found that Bell had sent the minor "inappropriate social media messages" for "months leading up to the concert". Bell was 31 at the time of the alleged incident. Bell pleaded not guilty, and was freed on a $2,500 personal bond, and was ordered to provide aDNA sample.[158] He agreed to have no contact with the accuser in the case with a pretrial hearing scheduled for June 23.[159][160]
On June 23, 2021, Bell pleaded guilty to both charges.[161] On July 12, 2021, Bell was sentenced to two years ofprobation and 200 hours of community service, which he was permitted to complete in California. Bell's accuser, a Canadian citizen, then 19, made during the sentencing hearing a public appearance and statement accusing him of sexually assaulting her while she was underage, unrelated and in addition to the endangerment charge.[162][163][164]
Bell’s attorney Ian N. Friedman told the media at the time "Today's plea and sentence reflect conduct for which Mr. Bell did accept responsibility. The victim's allegations that went beyond that which all parties agreed, not only lack supportingevidence but are contradicted by the facts learned through extensive investigation. As the court made clear, this plea was never about sexual misconduct or sexual relations with any person, let alone a minor."[165]
Bell claimed that he ceased communication to his accuser when her age came to light, and that no images of a sexual matter were exchanged anddigital forensics was involved: "I was being investigated, and that was really difficult on my family, and thankfully through 18 months ofsubpoenaing my social media and computers and witnesses and everything, it turned out a lot of most of what was being accused of me was not true." Bell said he "cut communications" the moment he found out her age. "I think she got upset, and she was coming to concerts still, and I was doing everything I could to kind of keep my distance." The adult witnesses that went to the concerts with the accuser disputed her claims she made during sentencing. Bell said he took the plea deal because he wanted to resolve the case quickly. His wife had recently given birth to their son, and he wanted to be in California with his family instead of in Ohio, where the case was filed.[166][167][168]
