Why do people act like iCarly was some kinda fuckin Quentin Tarantino movie? "Performance"???? A weird ass Nikelodeon show with a laugh track where she was the "tough girl" is getting all this kind of adoration and frankly, its creepy. I grew up in the days of power rangers and loved it, but i am not so dense as to pretend these were powerful performances that changed lives and I wouldn't sit and wax poetic about the duality of the characters and the actors.

I'm grateful for Jeanette's willingness to share her story. We should never suppress the truth about toxic people, regardless if that person is dead. Silence is why toxic people are not held accountable. Society expects us to not speak the truth about toxic relatives because a person is supposed to stand by family. Jeanette's story is about undoing this harmful practice of silencing ourselves when we are abused by family members. Just because you share DNA with someone doesn't mean you owe that person your undying loyalty when they traumatize you. You're allowed to speak the truth and set healthy boundaries to practice self-care. I wish Jeanette the best of luck on her healing journey.

[@XENOWOLFI]

What happened to her???!

[@TheGrossDemon]

@@XENOWOLFI to sum it all up, she pretty much was being emotionally abused and manipulated by her mother. She was forced into acting so her mother could live out her dreams through her, as well as had her desires and autonomy repressed. Her mom dying basically freed her from having to please her as well as doing things she didnt want to do. There A LOT more to it, that's just the first few chapters as well as general knowledge

[@sycodude9849]

@@XENOWOLFI she was forced into acting to provide for her family as a child and her mom was obsessed with Jeanette's career. Her mom introduced her to diets which encouraged her having an eating disorder so she could get smaller to get more acting roles. She also stated that her mom SAd her while she was young. Not to mention that was all happening while she was on iCarly with the whole Dan Schneider thing. And her mother continued to control her, gaslight her, and manipulate her until she died. Hence why she named her book "I'm glad my mom died".

[@Mikayla_5]

I would be upset too. Even if I had loved the role and had an amazing time on set. People have to realize that these celebrities that are in movie/tv show roles are not the characters they play. It's really disrespectful in my opinion to go up to someone and refer them as their character rather than their actual name. I imagine they would feel like that's all they're know for and would upset about it. Like Mila Kunis has said in a interview that Family Guy fans would just walk up to her and randomly say quotes from the show and call her Meg. She laughed about it but she was annoyed by it. It's just rude.

It is and honestly it should be. Those are days when she was abused and struggling immensely internally. It was also when she was a young teenager. She is constantly being publicly reminded of the things she did and felt when was ~14 years old, even though she's now a fully grown adult recognizing that she never even wanted that life. She was a child when her abuse and exploitation started. She is allowed to feel however she feels and I will 100% support her in that.

It is. Read her book. She talks about how frustrating it is for her or at least was.

[@kerollaynemoreira7536]

In the book she says she hated when people would call her Sam or say like catchphrases and stuff but she would take pictures with anyone who knew her real name. She also said she uses or at least used a disguise for a while, so as to not get recognized, said that she hated being famous and that she doesn't like that people know her for something she did as a teenager. Apparently it's different with the book though, I imagine it's because writing is "inherently real" as she says, it's something she wanted to do

[@mlggamer5296]

Yeah I probably would not reference it around her at all cuz I don't want to bring up bad memories. Literally I would just greet her and say "oh my gosh you're Jennette McCurdy I love your work" maybe take a selfie and that's about it I'm not going to make it a whole big deal.

I recently finished reading Jeannette’s book, (AMAZING read btw. Wonderfully written, it’s emotional, deep, but also comedic at parts. You can tell it’s truly written from the heart, and she is an amazing writer.) but anyway, I was right in the perfect age group/demographic to be a fan of icarly, and I absolutely loved it. By the time Sam and Cat came out, I was a bit “too old” for those types of shows, but I still watched and enjoyed it because of the nostalgia factor. Ever since reading her book, I’ve been wanting to go back and rewatch them, with this new light of knowing what was going on behind the scenes; both Jennette’s hectic home life, and the abusive tactics of Schneider on set. But I know it will hurt to watch in this new light, and honestly I do feel kind of guilty for wanting to re-watch them all, knowing how much Jennette hated both that role and how much she was struggling in general during those years. While I was reading her book, morbid curiosity also got the better of me when Jennette describes how the paparazzi spotted her with her secret boyfriend in a paddle boat, causing a huge explosion from her mother. So I couldn’t resist googling “Jennette Mccurdy Paddleboard” and quickly found all the celeb news sites that were “reporting” on Jennette’s vacation. I was/am horrified by how the media does this to celebrities, plasters their private life all over the internet, not realizing when this could have serious ripple effects to a person’s life. But yet, here I am with that same gross curiosity, googling to find the pictures. Sorry for this long comment, I’m rambling, guess I don’t have too much of an overall point. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Good for her, she seems to be doing better now… I was worried during Covid, as I was going through similar things a couple years prior from somewhat similar abuse from childhood, although mine probably lasted longer and was more severe than hers…the feeling of being preyed upon as a child and the horrors it opens you up to from a young age are still very much the same… Especially the feeling of being naked and violated all of the time, it can make you paranoid and anxious all of the time…with tons of other stuff going on in your and in your body… so much pain ams confusion. And I can relate to the final release you get when you finally tell and come to terms with said abuse. Mine lasted 11 years of my childhood. From age 2-13. And I didn’t tell till I was 19…so yeah the release was huge! Would be here now if I didn’t have the release, I don’t know how people hold it not, it sort just poured out of me that point…(once I hit puberty..seems to have triggered it the most, even though orbs definitely still going through things during that in between period of after the abuse, but still hiding sort of time…) But yes, I digress she’s looking so good right now and it makes me so happy for her! ✨🖤✨✌🏻🥺

She’s so sweet I’m sorry she had to go through that

[@LoganOliver1]

Never went out of my way to watch the show but when nothing else was on and it wss playing I'd watch after getting home from school or on the weekends and it always gave me a chuckle. Really sucks to know the shit they had to go through for that show and knowing that one dude literally almost died on set doing a stunt. What a show man....those producers and directors are something else.....

[@christiankarlkarganilla2763]

She really has no problem with fans reminding her of iCarly and Sam and Cat. She understands how iconic the show was and how iconic and badass the character Sam is. She understands that being Sam is gonna be a huge part of her legacy. She just didn't particularly enjoy her life during those years because of what we know now on what she went through. So, I understand her steering away from that but I also respect her for not telling people not to watch those shows.

I’m so glad that her book has allowed her to grow within her career, and not have iCarly be her most recognizable/notable endeavor. She now is being appreciated for something she is truly proud of, and that’s amazing. This goes to show that success can take years, and to never give up on something solely because you have a certain reputation or something you are “known for.” Change is always possible if you commit and work hard enough.
