Due to her crucial part in the immensely successful Nickelodeon sitcom "iCarly," Jennette McCurdy was once one of the biggest stars on children's television. Even if the program had certain dubious parts that viewers preferred to ignore, those who were old enough to watch it when it first aired still had good memories of it. Even recently, it received a more mature resurrection on the Paramount+ streaming service.
But McCurdy isn't in the new version, and subsequent statements that she has made about her experience on the original make it apparent why. The former child star, as described in a Washington Post feature, is releasing a new biography with the catchy title "I'm Glad My Mom Died" that details her life and career during that turbulent time. The abuse she allegedly experienced from her deceased mother and on the "iCarly" set is detailed in the book. McCurdy also makes some baffling statements in the profile and her biography about the final months of her time at Nick, when she shared the spotlight on the show "Sam & Cat" with then-rising sensation Ariana Grande.
Things were far from ideal on the set of Nickelodeon's "Sam & Cat," according to Jennette McCurdy's feature in The Washington Post. According to the biography, McCurdy objected to the fact that her "iCarly" co-star Ariana Grande had more leverage to work on other projects due to her burgeoning music career but she didn't have access to the same chances. "Yours Truly," Grande's debut album, was published when "Sam & Cat" was airing and received positive reviews from reviewers as well as the top spot on the Billboard top 200 charts.
In the end, "Sam & Cat" was canceled in 2014, and McCurdy asserts that Nickelodeon paid her $300,000 to remain silent over her experiences working for the network. It seems sensible that McCurdy allegedly saw the money as a tactic to keep her silent given that she makes serious allegations of abuse she endured on set in her memoir.
McCurdy also discusses a particular occurrence that made her feel frustrated with the entire situation in the last moments of the performance.
According to McCurdy, one of his especially sad points during that period was learning that Grande had the chance to hang out and play charades with actor Tom Hanks.
McCurdy exclaimed to The Washington Post, "I adore Tom Hanks. "I'd give anything to meet you."
After "Sam & Cat" ended, McCurdy had a few more notable appearances, most notably on the Netflix series "Between," but she has largely stopped performing. The Washington Post reports that she is presently concentrating on writing and directing.
