![]() It’s really overwhelming in the best way. I couldn’t have predicted it to resonate with so many. “I’m so grateful for the emotional connection people seem to be having with the book. Jennette McCurdy with a supportive reader at a book event for her new "I'm Glad My Mom Died" memoir. As for like the external aspects of it all, there are a lot of question marks but I feel very excited and optimistic about the future and I trust that whatever manifests will be the right thing.”Īt the very beginning of McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mother Died memoir, she dedicates her book to her three older brothers Marcus, Dustin and Scottie, which she tells me she loves and appreciates so much, going on to say that the relationships she has with with her siblings are some of the most important in her life today.Īs we began to conclude our conversation, I wondered what message McCurdy has for her longtime, loyal fans and the supportive readers of her popular memoir. There’s a lot of self-trust that I have that I didn’t have before, so I hope to carry that with me. ![]() “The twenties were quite the unexpected roller coaster, so I appreciate that I feel much more sturdiness in myself, despite whatever is going on in my surroundings, so I really hope to take that with me. Entering a new decade out of her late mother’s shadow, I asked McCurdy what she hopes her thirties will bring to her overall outlook and wellness. I really find a lot of joy in that and I’d love to direct more if that opportunity arises.”īack on June 26, McCurdy celebrated her 30th birthday. Directing is such a deep passion of mine. I’m actually working on a novel and a collection of essays now and that has been very creatively fulfilling for me. Now with a bonafide hit memoir under her belt and continuing to have much of the world’s attention with her bold storytelling, I wondered what McCurdy would like to do next as she moves forward with her professional career. Whether in life or business, my number one is support my mental health and then if it gets passed that, I’m all about authenticity and I feel like it’s such a ‘buzz’ word and it can maybe seem ‘glip,’ but I really try to run things through the filter of Does this feel aligned in my bones, in my soul? Is this a thing that I need to be doing? I’m very much about only doing things that I believe in to my core.” ![]() McCurdy joked about the character with gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who tweeted, "Can I be in an upcoming episode? I can be #Gloriana's obnoxious gay brother," a thinly veiled reference to Grande's brother, Frankie Grande.įollowing the exchange with Hilton, someone then created a fake tweet (which people thankfully took a screenshot of before it was deleted from Twitter) that showed Grande saying she couldn't see McCurdy and Hilton's tweets from "up here in the charts." At the time, McCurdy thought the tweet was real and shot back, "you clearly could because you responded directly to a conversation you weren't tagged in. The series features McCurdy as a character named Gloriana who dons a high ponytail, which fans speculated was a dig at Grande (via Hollywood Life). Then, at the end of 2014, McCurdy launched a web series called "What's Next for Sarah?", about a former child star trying to figure out what's next. TMZ reported that McCurdy skipped out the awards show because she was being paid less than Grande, despite being the other titular star, but Grande denied this in a TwitLonger post, claiming that she and her co-star were being paid an equal salary.Īfter the show's cancellation, there was very little mention of the two actresses together. After declining to attend, McCurdy explained in a tweet that she didn't go because she was put in an "uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation," but neglected to specify what she was specifically referring to. In 2014, "Sam and Cat" was nominated for Best TV Show at the Kids Choice Awards (via IMDb). McCurdy returned to set after taking only six days off and continued filming "Sam and Cat" while in mourning ( via Vulture). Then in late 2013, the gossip site Crazy Days and Nights released a post claiming that Jennette McCurdy was getting into trouble, drinking and "hitting strip clubs." The post goes on to describe Grande's (supposed) response to the events, stating that her team wanted McCurdy "removed from their mutual show in favor of someone more clean cut" so as not to ruin Grande's career "momentum." To make it even worse for McCurdy, her mother Debra lost her battle to cancer around the same time.
