iCarly star JennetteMcCurdy shares how her childhood was ‘exploited’
The book, titled I’m Glad My Mom Died, details McCurdy’s experience working as a child actor from the age of 6 while having her mother control almost every aspect of her life, such as telling her what to eat every day and shaving her daughter’s legs. She opens up about her struggles with anxiety and eating disorders that she experienced on set, blaming her mother and Nickelodeon for failing to protect her.
However, McCurdy endured several embarrassing moments while working for Nickelodeon, including times when she was told she had to be photographed in a bikini at a wardrobe fitting and when intimidating figures, whom she did not name, would urge her to drink alcohol. Despite being present in those situations, McCurdy’s mother failed to intervene — telling her daughter that was the price of fame.
Sam and Cat ran for just one season, after which McCurdy stepped away from Nickelodeon. The network offered her $300,000 not to speak publicly about her experiences working on the shows, McCurdy wrote, but she refused.Although McCurdy had good friendships with people such as Miranda Cosgrove, who played the lead character in iCarly, her co-star said she was initially unaware of what McCurdy was going through when they were shooting the show.
