Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Details follow for Season 12, Episode 8 of “The Masked Singer,” “Miley Cyrus Night,” which aired November 20 on Fox. Drake Bell got a bit serious on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” revealing what it felt like to be at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year.

Bell, who was unmasked as the Ice King this week, shared some personal thoughts in the voice-over package before his performance. “I finally felt ready to tell my truth to the world,” said Bell – under the disguise of the Ice King. “And so I did.

And then instantly regretted it. I imagined my words all over the news and the Internet, and totally freaked. I begged them to pull my story.

I didn’t want it to run. But, that power was out of my reach. The night it was released, I was a total disaster. Frozen. But once I saw how many people could relate, I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders.
