She wanted to be a writer. But her mother Debra McCurdy wanted her to act, insisting “writers get fat.” So McCurdy started working as an extra before graduating to commercial work and eventually going on to star in Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” and “Sam & Cat.
McCurdy’s mother was a hoarder, filling their house with objects the family couldn’t afford and forcing McCurdy and her brothers to sleep on floor mats instead of beds. She constantly fought with and disparaged McCurdy’s father, sometimes becoming violent. McCurdy recounts a time in the memoir when her mother chased her father with a knife.“I felt like, ‘Oh, nobody else in my family can read Mom the same way.
On the set of “iCarly,” more hardships abounded for McCurdy. She describes being thrust into a chaotic environment, all conspiring at the hands of “The Creator,” understood by many readers to be Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider. Investigations into the workings of the show found him to be verbally abusive to cast and crew.
“Somebody had pitched the idea, ‘Should we have a trigger warning on the cover or inside the book, like somewhere?’ And I very, very strongly felt no,” McCurdy says. “I would not have recovered if I would have just constantly been avoiding triggers. By facing my triggers is really where I found recovery.”
