        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drake Bell has denied ever abusing his now-ex-girlfriend Melissa Lingafelt.</p><p>After Lingafelt claimed <strong>in a TikTok video</strong> posted Wednesday that Bell verbally and physically abused her, he <strong>told People</strong> that he &#8220;never abused my ex-girlfriend or did so many of the other things Melissa falsely claimed on her TikTok video.&#8221;</p><p>In her TikTok video, Lingafelt — who started dating Bell when she was 16 years old — alleged the verbal abuse began about a year into their relationship.</p><p>&#8220;I moved in with him, I was singing. It wasn&#8217;t until about a year when the verbal abuse started,&#8221; Lingafelt, now 30, said of the &#8220;Drake &amp; Josh&#8221; star, now 34. &#8220;And when I say verbal abuse, imagine the worst type of verbal abuse you could ever imagine, and that was what I got.&#8221;</p><p>The verbal abuse, she claimed, transitioned to physical abuse.</p><p>&#8220;It then turned to physical — hitting, throwing, everything,&#8221; Lingafelt, who dated Bell from 2006 to 2009, continued. &#8220;At the pinnacle of it, he drug [sic] me down the stairs of our house on Los Feliz.</p><p>&#8220;My face hit every step on the way down. I have photos of this,&#8221; the musician said.</p><p>Lingafelt did not share any photos.</p><p>Lingafelt, who goes by the name Jimi Ono, also posted to her Instagram story claiming her friends knew of the alleged abuse.</p><p>Bell&#8217;s rep didn&#8217;t immediately return Page Six&#8217;s request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
