Jennette McCurdy

Jennette McCurdy, who writes that she experienced abuse from her late mom, Debra, stands by her decision to name her memoir “I'm Glad My Mom Died.”

“But now that I have it, I realize that she’s happy and I’m not. I wanted her to be happy,” she wrote. “I usually just try and think of Disneyland when Mom’s doing the exams… McCurdy alleged that when a doctor expressed that she may have had anorexia, her mom denied knowing about any food habits. “I felt like she didn’t deserve my tears and my sadness since she was abusive, but it simplified in a really relieving way and now feels like I’m able to just miss her. We’re keeping me on a 1,000-calorie diet, but I have the smart idea that if I only eat half my food, I’ll only be receiving half the calories, which means that I will be shrinking twice as fast,” McCurdy wrote in her tome ( via ET).

Of course, Jennette came to fame playing Sam Puckett on iCarly, appearing on all six seasons plus a spinoff series. But when it came time for a reboot, she ...

There might be a way for me to act from a place that feels really healing and empowered, maybe write something for myself.'" "I am shocked to be saying — have you ever had one of those thoughts where it’s like, 'Oh where did that come from? Two seasons of the iCarly reboot later, it doesn't seem that Jennette has changed her mind about returning to the show.

Jennette McCurdy opens up to Teen Vogue in an interview about grief, her mom's abuse, and her friendships with Ariana Grande and Miranda Cosgrove.

After undergoing six years of therapy to unpack the impact that her late mother has had on her life, McCurdy, now 30, is ready to tell her story on her own terms. Born and raised in Southern California in a poor, Mormon family, Jennette McCurdy was just six years old when Debra, who had dreamed of becoming an actor herself, projected her own unrealized aspirations onto her only daughter. “I feel strongly that anybody who has experienced abuse from a parental figure will know what I’m talking about.”

“My body is saying no, I don't want this,” she details. She continues: “My shoulders do have a lot of knots in them, but I don’t want The Creator to be the one rubbing them out. Unflinching. My body is rejecting my mind,” she writes. Jennette claims that her former boss, whom she doesn’t name, got in trouble with the network for “accusations of his emotional abuse.” Moreover, Jennette recalls feeling uneasy when “The Creator” once gave her a shoulder massage without asking her. So much so, in fact, that when Jennette — unhappily — landed her huge role on Nickelodeon’s iCarly at the age of 15, Debra was thrilled.

Then, when she got her first period, she began to return to her disordered ways, while her mother continued to insult her body shape and weight. On the advice of her mom, McCurdy said she began restricting her calorie intake to prevent her breasts from getting bigger. Soon after her mom's death, she went out for dinner with friends where she ate a full meal and drank a whole bottle of sake.
