April has certainly been an eventful month for former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell.
On Tuesday, Drake was spotted inhaling balloons in the front seat of his car in Los Angeles, just days after news broke that his wife had filed for divorce from the 36-year-old actor.

PHOTOGRAPHERS CAPTURED DRAKE IN HIS CAR OUTSIDE OF HIS HOME.
As TMZ reported, there was a canister of some kind in the car with him, which would lead us to believe that he was huffing nitrous oxide out of the very full balloon.

Many people use this as a method of getting high, and this is not the first time that Drake has been caught doing it.

In 2021, Drake pled guilty to charges of attempted child endangerment after he had been caught exchanging messages with a 15-year-old girl, leading to an incident where he was determined to have "violated his duty of care and, in doing so, created a risk of harm to the victim."
DRAKE SEEMS TO BE GOING THROUGH A LOT LATELY.
Ultimately, Drake was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service for his crime.

On April 13, Daytona Beach police reported Drake missing and endangered, but he was found safe hours later, and no explanation for what happened was ever released to the public.
EARLIER THIS MONTH, HE WAS REPORTED MISSING.

This seemed to be a particularly tough blow for Drake, who said in a tweet that he found out that wife Janet Von Schmeling had officially filed for divorce after seeing the news on TMZ along with the rest of the world.
DAYS LATER, HIS WIFE FILED FOR DIVORCE.
HERE'S HOPING DRAKE IS ABLE TO GET THE HELP HE NEEDS.
It sounds like the last few years have been pretty tumultuous ones for the troubled child star, and he seems to be going through a lot in his personal life. Hopefully, he will be able to get the help he needs, at least for his young son's sake.
