Everytime Miranda is brought up, it's like her eyes light up and sometimes she gets more giggly, like I do when I talk about my best friend. Just the thought of Miranda makes her a little happier and it truly shows that Miranda was a light in a very dark time and place for Jennette.

I just finished reading the book and everytime she writes about Miranda, you feel such genuine love and happiness in Jennette's words.

While the book held angry and ugly words for most of the people mentioned (rightfully so), Jennette seemed to have written a love letter for Miranda, in which every word about her was heartfelt and sweet. They must have been extremely close and from the way Jennette's eyes light up whenever her friend is mentioned, it's safe to say that the feeling is still mutual to this day 😭 😭 😭

[@SneakySalaXander]

It really is the little things. Something that may seem so meaningless to some is so helpful to others. I, personally, have been out of the situation with my former stepmonster for almost six years. With my dad and grandma, we never talked about name blocking. I think they noticed, when I’d first gotten out, how I reacted when people on their side of the family asked about him and my mom (they were still together. Yes, she chose him over me). In these six years, I genuinely can’t recall a time they’ve said his name. They always refer to him as just “him”. I constantly kick myself, saying I don’t really have CPTSD… despite being clinically diagnosed by multiple mental health professionals. I tell myself that I’m faking my trauma, despite knowing that couldn’t be further from the truth. Like, I know it’s just the years of gaslighting from my mother which has made me this way. Your observation just made me realize that I likely show my trauma far more than I realize. Thank you for that.

[@allthingsbeauty9175]

I’m not familiar with Jennette as an actress bc I’m an gen xer & my then boys (now adults) didn’t watch those shows. But this was on my timeline and the book title caught my attention so I clicked on the video and then decided to do a quick google search on her and her mom’s relationship and I have to say that from the small snippets of information I was able to gather, her relationship with her late mother really hit home for me. I too suffered from physical and mental abuse from my mother and it has taken me so many years to finally feel brave enough to talk about it and start working on my healing. So I admire this young woman for her courage to be able to share her story with the world. I may pick up the book and read it as part of my ongoing healing. Thank you for your courage Jennette 🌷💕🌷

Even though I'm wary about starting my spinoff, I'm glad to at least be saying goodbye to this project that makes me feel like I'm living everyday in a Groundhog Day movie doing the same thing over and over again. The reason I'm crying is that I don't know what will become of my friendship with Miranda: we've gotten so close, like sisters but without the passive aggression and weird tensions. I have my judgments around female friendships being catty and petty and backstabby but that couldn't be further from the truth with Miranda. With Miranda it's always been so easy, our friendship is pure. An AD hands and me and Miranda a tissue; we blow our noses hideously and get back on our marks to do one last take for the final scene we're shooting together.

Honestly, when I heard the name of the book and some of her comments, I worried about her mental health. But to be honest after hearing her speak, while I still am sure she has trauma that she is working through, I think she seems to have a healthy mindset. I also realize that I shouldn't have judged her book title as someone who is just a few months younger than her with both of my parents dead. I had a couple people have the nerve to judge a couple jokes I made about a year after my dad passed in 2020. I know my father would have found them hilarious and for anyone who knew the relationship we had, they know better than to take it too seriously but I was so bothered when people who barely know me but knew my dad had the nerve to try to reprimand me. I shouldn't have judged Jennettes book title because I don't know her life with her mother. In fact, I don't even know the context and why she says it. I hope the book is so successful and she continues the healing process!

she is so amazing. her words are so empowering and inspiring. i’m happy jennette is in a better place!

[@shandrewsampson6539]

GO GIRL JENNETTE! I do hope you can return to acting, you're actually really really good at it. but no pressure. be happy.

[@Xoxogossipgurl]

I’m so happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves

[@onthe_tlctip]

Much love to Miss Jennette. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I've listened to her podcast a lot and she is so insightful and well spoken

[@marthazaragoza4385]

Heartbreaking that her title is so sincere. All children deserve parents who love them and want the best for them

[@tonyping2262]

I hope that she heals and find her true authentic self through her writing and directing and I'm really glad that she is willing to choose her own future and not let others determine what she does and does not!

[@maceyl5851]

I'm happy for her and that she had emotional support with Miranda. I wish her all the best.

[@kizzy3563]

Miranda seems like such a genuinely nice person. So happy they had one another throughout iCarly.

[@alexismiller288]

Jennette: "I needed to quit acting for my wellbeing." The press: "So when are you going to start acting again?"

[@FantasyGirl365]

I’m so glad her and Miranda are actually friends and close

[@lizzabbott]

How great for YOU to have been able to make that decision, Jennette - to not do the re boot. Instead of your mother making the decision as she did for so many years. How great that you could say no, and nit be met by your mother’s selfish histrionics and guilt tripping. Congrats on breaking free ! A long and happy life to you, Jennette! I just read your book in record time. Could not put it down. Cheers to your authentic self ! To your healing and wholeness. Liz

I really love Jeanette she's so Authentic and I love how now that her moms gone she focusing on herself and bettering her mental health.Its crazy to think I grew up watching ICarly and some of the things these Actors/Actresses went threw during that time I was never thinking about I was just waiting on the next episode.

[@Daniela-pn8sq]

It literally makes me so happy to know that they had a good relationship! That made my childhood ❤️

[@R1L3Y73]

Honestly, yes the creator is no longer a part of it. But he’s still credited as the creator in the credits of every episode. I think Jennette deserves the space and agency to choose not associate with him in any way going forward, and I’m glad it seems that most people are granting her kindness in making that choice. Making choices for your mental well-being is so important. Sending all my love and support to Jennette ❤️

[@jay-annnoble1284]

Sad 😔. She still looks like she is going through it 😢

[@sherapower908]

A truly humble person and clearly very intelligent. She will help a lot of people I can see it.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

I love how the interviewer asks "ever though your mom is gone and the creator isn't on the show", can you imagine after what she's been through walking back into that character. A character whose food choices exacerbated her own. Whose mother was likely painfully familiar. I can't imagine what even being called "Sam" again might feel like for her, let alone whatever horrible backstory Nick likely would have cooked up. Two of the main perpetrators may be gone, but not only was every other adult on that set complicit in what was happening, but every piece of that character and and show absorbed those memories. I can absolutely imagine why she turned the role down, main two people aside. Good for her protecting herself.

[@iruy4138]

im a big icarly fan and ive been supporting jennette since 2013 so it makes me feel VERY emotional 🥺

[@AwesomeAsh94]

She is a great actress and I feel that she had to step away for her healing and to realize it's ok to go back and want it for herself. Such a talent, so excited to see what she does in the TV world.

[@NateTheGr8ness]

These interviews and intrigue is making me wanna go purchase this book 📖.

[@mattcooper8010]

I respect what she’s focused on right it’s great seeing Jeanette is doing what is best for herself I could see she was getting a little overwhelmed in the interview

[@mareezy]

I hope she continues acting, I would love to see more of her

[@rcperry2000]

I'm so glad that she's focusing on herself, but I really do hope maybe someday down the road she'll make a cameo at least in the reboot.

[@wordswrittenbyme2109]

Hearing that they are close in rl. I love that and so glad that she hasn't fully closed the door on acting.

[@kevinmartin1990]

I don’t blame her for her desicion to not be part of icarly reboot but damn I would be so happy to see her back as Sam on icarly again 😭😭😂😫I guess it just not in the cards

[@chloeeng6811]

Yeah I love her
