Drake Bell's Wife Files for Divorce Following His Disappearance

Drake Bell's wife, Janet Von Schmeling, has filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" and is requesting legal and physical custody of their child as well as spousal support. This comes a week after Bell was reported missing and endangered in Florida, but was later found safe. The incident was reportedly sparked by Bell's brother calling the police to report Bell's suicidal statements following child custody concerns. Bell has faced several controversies in recent years, including accusations of verbal and physical abuse and a 2021 arrest for attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
