Drake Bell was eliminated off Sunday’s episode of The Masked Singer Mexico – called ¿Quién es la máscara? – as Baby Alien aka Bebé Alien.
The disgraced 37-year-old surprised the audience during episode four of the fifth season of Las Estrellas’ celebrity singing competition, which originated with the 2015 Korean hit The King of Mask Singer.
‘Thank you very much [producers Cuquis Razo and Fox Muller Miguel Angel] for inviting me to participate in this show!’ Drake wrote in Spanish on Monday to his 4M Instagram followers.
‘This was so much fun! Thank you very much for your support!’
No one booed Bell when he removed his mask despite him having plead guilty to ‘attempted endangering [of] children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles’ just two years earlier.
Making a comeback? Drake Bell was eliminated off Sunday’s episode of The Masked Singer Mexico – called ¿Quién es la máscara? – as Baby Alien aka Bebé Alien
The comments (translated into English) reacting to his loss were full of supportive, heartbroken fans sad to see him eliminated as he ‘was the best character’ and ‘the only real celebrity to ever step on the show.’
The balloon-huffing, former child star has spent the past year fostering a relationship with Mexican fans thanks to his six-date Non-Stop Flight Tour and several public appearances in the country.
Drake (born Jared) was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service in 2021 after a 19-year-old woman accused him of grooming her from ages 12-15 and sexually assaulting her at his 2017 Cleveland concert.
Bell – who was charged with DUIs in 2010 and 2016 – said he only took the plea deal to end the scandal quickly, and claimed he didn’t know her age and denied ever sending her sexual photos or engaging in sexual activity.
The Going Away singer also denied all the verbal and physical abuse allegations in 2020 from his ex-girlfriend Melissa Lingafelt, who also accused him on TikTok of ‘having inappropriate conversations online with underage girls.’
Drake’s wife of four years – Janet Von Schmeling – filed for divorce from him on April 20, and she appears to have primary custody of their toddler son Jeremy Drake Bell.
On July 16, Bell announced via X that he started writing a book called I Found A Way, adding: ‘You will finally know my true story.’
The SoCal native first found fame starring as Drake Parker in Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh, which aired for four seasons spanning 2004-2007 and TV films – Drake & Josh Go Hollywood (2006) and Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh (2008).
