I'm Glad My Mom Died
Jennette McCurdy's overbearing mother had a dream for her only daughter to become a star. Jennette endured her mother's "calorie restriction" and extensive at-home makeovers, shared her diaries, email, and all her income, and even was showered by her mom until age sixteen.
Jennette was thrust into fame when she landed a role in the Nickelodeon series, iCarly. Though her mom was ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette became riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only got worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother died of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarked on recovery and decided for the first time in her life what she really wants.
In this conversation, filled with refreshing candor and dark humor, Jennette shares her inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.
