Jennette McCurdy shares the stories behind memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died” 

this is so well said. it is so true. i appreciate jenette for being herself now. i loved, and still love the character of sam. but sam was and never will be jenette.

She's just 30 man. She's still young and free now

Agreed

ahahahahahaa..lol

LMAO one video and now everyone knows her differently 🤣😂

& it was not … beauty jealousy it was how privileged someone was jealousy

@@yanilowkz huh

@@yanilowkz She was jealous of the healthy relationship Ariana had with her mother which is so sad (and I know how that feels) 🥺

@@yourmom3640 I think they’re trying to say not jealousy over appearance but over career or things like someone’s perceived home life compared to hers.

of course, she was jealous of her having a career in the music industry and for being known outside of the Nickelodeon bubble, I bet, everyone was and am sure, many other co stars have already admitted to this.

So The mother had cancer and , she kept her daughter on a healthy diet , she gaved her medical exams to make sure she’s okay , and also bathe her to make sure she was clean . Don’t get how she was abusive

@@gabrierodriguez9586she washed her daughter until she was 18! Giving her no privacy, and when she moved into her own apartment to escape this her mum then ended up staying in her apartment for so long!

@@piper7091 wow her life is much worse than the kids over at Palestine

@@gabrierodriguez9586 I never said her life was worse im just explaining to you how that is abusive. Oh and let’s not forgot how her mum gave her a eating disorder encouraging her to stay small, having her limit her carb intake so she was terribly underweight to the point where she didn’t go through puberty at the right age. Dont question someone’s life if you don’t know the full story

@@piper7091that’s not abuse

Agreed. Also must mention jenette ended up signing a book deal valued at a few million dollars after the success of this. See how God rewarded her for keeping her integrity

@@ghostagent3157 it really is for what she’s been put through. Jennette seems like she has a good head on her shoulders in the end and is in a good place in her life which is a rarity for child stars.

In the book if you read it. She constsntly skepitcal of religion I wouldnt think God would have wanted that book to succeed

I also love that her character is allowed to just be wild and free and that’s it

@@pumpkinwarrior7138 I would still watch iCarly and Sam Cat just to watch Sam and Spencer when I have a rough days. It's like I would watch just to have a belly laugh😅💕

Right, and I’m glad that even though she’s not in the reboot they still mention her sometimes in the show😭💗

I can totally relate. When you do accept it, it feels like the earth shifts on it's axis.

It’s a humbling and heartbreaking journey but it worth it to live in truth no matter what.

As long as she acknowledges it, she doesn't need to think any further on it....that is obviously too much for her at this point, perhaps later, perhaps never. I myself wonder why her mom was invasive in this way, very weird and very very wrong (understatement or what!?)

I'm in my forties. With the help of good friend and a therapist, I'm just now unraveling the years of abuse I suffered at the hands of my mother, and how she continues to treat me horribly. I'm stuck taking care of her, and it is a very odd feeling trying to come to terms with all the anxiety she gave me while watching her deteriorate.

I’m in my 30s ( close to 40), and I have just went into no contact with my mom ( and maybe one of my sisters ). Both of them are very manipulative and just evil . I have been so abused by my mom my entire life and there were times I had to walk away from and I even moved out of state for a couple years to get away from her. I didn’t miss her for one second but I missed not ever really having a loving mother that I could have a good relationship with. I moved back home bc she was getting older and thought maybe if she needs help etc then her manipulative behaviors started up again as she was blaming me for things I never did , giving me the silent treatment again etc and about 8 weeks ago ( as she started the rounds of silent treatment again ) I decided I have had it. I now travel for work so I can be in a different state etc and this will give me time to think about if I want a complete disconnect from her forever. Or do I just move to another state and have very little contact with her ? I don’t know but I want to go to therapy and think about how she has affected my entire life. She is the reason I never wanted kids bc I was always afraid I would pass down her horrible mothering. I have things I know I need to work on. One of my sisters I feel the same about. Why I had to be born In such an unhappy unstable dysfunctional family that I am not sure how to recover from. I wish I had her insight on things before I hit 30

Just finished the last page. I couldn’t put it down. It’s truly a great read, but so dark. It’s an important message

❤️

Sorry for your lost, she will be in your heart 🙏🫂

Yes. Well spoken. The interviewer prompts her with respect. And I love how she matched Jennette's tone at certain parts like when Jen mentioned about charade with Tom Hanks and she replied with a playful 'how dare she.'

Too many interviewers seem like they are constantly trying to get that gotcha moment where they can go viral and get attention.

There are plenty of interviewer like her and are poc like her that shows progress is happening whether white America is ready for it or not. Kudos to her and the new breed of journalist like her that representing minorities in that field.

I love this interviewer and when she does Crime Watch Daily she's awesome and Dateline!! ❤❤💜💜 I Feel bad for her Jeanette is a strong girl I hope God does his work with her!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💔💔😢😢

The interviewer is Juju Chang. And dont give her to much credit, because from what I understand, she and her husband are part of the Hollywood and Main stream Media child abusers !!!!!

she is the example of an amazing spirit, she literally didn’t kill herzelf after all that and instead learned it is wrong what they did to her and other kids and teens… she deserves 1 billion dollars

Ok but begin happy for her death not makes her better then she. At last was her mother have her blood I think people not have mercy are evil as well

@@miraspaho5562 u don’t know what she went through be in her shoes then judge, the Jennette u say is evil was abused by that mother sexually and physically “u r evil” for thinking that mother didn’t deserve it. She made her sick and took advantage of her eating disorder “anorexia” pushed her into something she didn’t want to, to pay bills she didn’t deserve all this now shut up

Like Lindsey Lohan's parents

@@miraspaho5562 If her mother hadn’t died she would’ve still been down a depressive path. It’s not like she celebrated her death, it’s more like her mom dying allowed her to escape and find herself. Family being blood doesn’t mean they’re immune to being abusive or terrible to their own.

Her mother is so similar to mine, this boook is so groundbreaking just to finally have the truth exposed of mothers like that.

​@@vksofExactly. Especially when considering sexual abuse in which people don't believe women do that or just ignore or overlooked it altogether. At least in America.

Absolutely spot on ❤

And thats why its so hard! I am going through that right now and I can totaly understand how ppl just keep on repressing and not looking at theyr abuse. I don't want to cuz I want to protect my own children and get my actual reality back.

@@More13Feen You are every bit strong, courageous, and BRAVE for what you're doing. Your kids will thank you someday.

I truly truly admire her. I've gone through that experience myself, although it wasn't as bad as hers I suppose, but the feeling of viewing your parents for what they are is deeply traumatic. I saw them as abusive to begin with, so my issue was the opposite. It was having to see them as human beings. That really effs you up. You start to question your own reality. That's the reason I NEEDED to start therapy to begin with

She’s speaking the truth. This quote resonates closely with my journey of healing from abuse. Before any healing could begin, I had to find the humility to admit I was broken. And through my confessions, I could be free to reach out for grace that was offered to me through Christ. Forgiveness sets us free when we are honest with ourselves

I know exactly what you mean. Nothing harder than realizing that your parents were not only human but may have went through exactly what they put you through. Being a mom myself now has made me have to face the fact that my mother wasn’t evil incarnate she became that way because she had been raised by generations of evil…if I didn’t face that then I’d be at risk of continuing the cycle. My son and daughter will be raised by the all that is good, endless love and abundant forgiveness and I pray they will raise their children with those same things. We are healing generations of pain and I’m so proud to have it start with my children.

Agreed! Her words are chosen so precisely, she is wise beyond her years!

She has a life behind and ahead of her to write about.

@Elizabeth Campos that doesn’t make any difference

@Elizabeth Campos she’s going to be successful without that monster in her life

She always loved writing but her mom forced her to put that dream away and focus on acting.

100%

She talks about this better than family therapists

As someone who’s currently in the early stages of that same boat, you have no idea how accurate that is. When you’ve been told your whole life you exist exclusively to be an extension of someone else - being your parent - you literally feel like you are nothing and that your existence serves no point, when that purpose is gone. I’m glad I’m far enough along to know that lack of self-worth can change, but that initial shock is such an intense combination of sadness and terror that I wouldn’t inflict on anyone.

Hard, but is it impossible?

@@ratedr7845 take it from someone who’s lived through a lot of it… no. It’s not impossible.

Right she thought about what she could've done for others with it. Wow.

Yeah she sounds like Asian people who always help family …

That is not a burden that should be put on any child.

It always burns my blood when you hear about cases like this. Here's hoping the rest of Jeanette's life is on her terms from now on.

@@fairy_dust6588 what😭

That's the sad part, pretty much all kid stars have a very dark side of being a star..it's part of veing in that world.

@@mariacerrato2931 Yeah.. It's so sad. Kids actors and actresses need to be more protected by their parents and adults around them. Not be used as a puppet.

@@laraloth7821 do you know the commenter?

@@samanthagolding3876 , does it matter?!

Exactly

her podcast is great!

Almost. Jenette does a great job speaking for *herself*, and not for the girls around the world who have to survive on a bowl or 2 of rice per day. Moms don't exactly come into the world equipped with a "how to grow up & and how to raise kids" manual either.

@@drippinwet774 there is so much information out there these days about raising children and sorting yourself out. it's every adult's responsibility to not pass on their pain to their children

​@@drippinwet774 it's very obvious saying this but everyone is responsible for their actions towards others, doesn't matter if it's a mother, a father, a friend or a stranger. Of course there are simpler places where people have children for the sake of it, or to have more "working hands". In my country there was a secular saying that translates to "after the 4th children, they raise themselves off"; implying that after a certain ammount of kids they would simply raise each other and the parents wouldn't have to worry. Even if it was a common thing at the time, it wasn't in the slightest bit responsible and I'm sure so many of them had very rough childhoods, so much so that these were the easiest families to break apart and never see each of the members again. Sure, they were simple people and didn't necessarily cause harm because of malice, but because of ignorance; and yet they were still responsible for the "scars" left in their children.

I think her tears are both joy and pain. It must be hard for her to speak about the trauma, but also for her to see how far she came is a wow moment

Damn

You shouldn't look forward to hearing it from yourself. That quickly turns to arrogance unchecked.

2,000th like😌

When the interviewer asked "why, why are you proud of yourself?", my immediate response was, cos she DIDN'T SELL OUT!! She did well, good the hell on her!

Provided they actually read the book but we can spread that message

*jennette

She looks not good and sick 🤢🤢🤢

I looked up the book on Wikipedia, and Mommy Dearest was a related article.

Listening to her book is cathartic to me having grown in a very volatile environment with a narcissistic mother

Same ;~; I'm still struggling

"Reframing my entire life"*

Oh shut up bro

i can see that especially because her mom helped with her anorexia (in a bad bad way). "My mom helps me stay thin, so I want her around"... would be my thoughts when I was still anorexic.

Narcissistic mothers are the worst. They may not hit you but the psychological abuse is the worst. You go through life walking on eggshells and when they touch you, you cringe. You are never good enough. You are the scapegoat for mostly everything. It’s especially bad if you are Indian or African because you are taught that a mother is saintly…..

This could be a trauma response (being mature or wise beyond her years). She had to grow up too quickly. She is very aware and I think it helps her process and healing sooo much!!

I personally agree

@@soniarivas5420 yes, you are exactly right. When you meet a kid who is "so mature for their age", it's not a good thing. Few people understand this.

Agreed. I was the kid who was always “so mature” for my age and I knew from years of Therapy, it wasn’t a good thing. I used to joke, you can thank trauma for that. T me it meant I had to grow up quick in order to navigate the pitfalls of the abuse I suffered at the hands of my parents and my classmates.The hardest part about that kind of alienation, most kids my age I couldn’t connect with. Thus I always dated and had friends that were sometimes even 30-40+ years older than me. While normal kids and teens would be worried about their boyfriends and going out dancing, I was worried about my career and being “independent”. I didn’t actually start to live my life until after I sought Therapy. I pretty much worked all throughout my teens and 20s and never really went to parties. I thought they were too “juvenile.” After Therapy I realized I missed out on key parts of development that are probably the funnest times in a persons lives. It was sad.

@@ericjaviermejia That is sad for you, it really is and I hope you have health and healing now. I too was mature for my age. I was even doing peer counseling in highschool as I was recommended for it. I didn't suffer any trauma though, so someone being mature (and yes I did date older guys but not that much older) for their age isn't always a bad thing. I was a responsible kid from a decent family, the youngest of three girls. Having older sisters probably contributed to me maturing faster but it wasn't a bad thing. It doesn't always have to spell disaster.

- How in the world can a teenager have an eating disorder? I mean really. Teenager's bodies require them to have voracious appetites, even girls. They don't gain much weight when they eat and if they gain, it's only a little but they burn it off in two weeks. - So when you're hungry you eat; when you're not you don't.

I have dealt with a narcissistic mother and I am still dealing with her. She ruined my adult life, turned everyone against me including my only son who is 27. She is 82 and I can’t wait until she dies. I will be at peace.

@mitxie phoebe It is surprising because a lot of people dismiss the feelings of children abused by their parents and don´t believe them. It goes a little deeper than ´hating your mom´ when there´s trauma involved. So yeah, we need more people like Jennette and less people who try to minimize victims.

She has an excellent podcast called Empty Inside, where she's brutally honest about a range of issues. If you enjoy hearing her speak I'd highly recommend listening to it.

Laughing is a coping skill. Some people who grew up with abuse have a strange , weird sense of humor. We cope by laughing things off. It is a releave of stressful emotions. Crying too, but I rather laugh all day than cry all day. Laughter is the best medicine! Crying is a releave too, but it makes you feel small and helpless. Laughing makes you feel strong. If I can still laugh about my abuser ,I am not broken, I can look ahead and plan my escape.

I laughed a lot when I was embarrassed or insecure, I was sexually abused from age 2 - 9 and a 1/2, physically and emotionally until I left my mother at age 16

Laughing was my coping mechanism. Learning how to make others laugh and be relatable is my coping mechanism as well cuz I feel the need to be liked by my peers

I was SA abused by my uncle when I was 7 and 13 for a long time I always thought it was my fault

Part of it is also that the death of her mom was the only way she could begin healing

@@robertdiez3854 I know exactly what she went through. My mother was narcissistic, vindictive, manipulative, majorly controlling, alienating all in one. It was her way or hell to pay. She pitted my brother's and sister against each of us. She would tell us almost on a daily basis that we (her kids) ruined her life. She personally ruined my life my marriage and my childhood. And the day she died I felt a HUGE relief RELIEF OFF OF ME. I kid you not. You have to have lived through it to understand what she is trying to get through here. I also was unable to start the healing process myself until she died. You know you hear people say mother-in-law from hell, my mother was not only the mother-in-law from hell, but the mother from hell.. I kid you not !!! She was a sociopath and knew what personality she needed to present to each environment to get whatever she wanted. If I had to name a person that the world is aware of to give you an example of a person that I am explaining to you here.

@@King9tails Right so shes not allowed to get compensation for the decades of abuse? Her smiling with the urn is meant to be dark, no one wants to say something so fucking horrible about their parents but when you have your parents abusing you mentally and physically and only letting you eat 400-500 cal a day which brought around eating disorders. She is already famous, to people who know about her they've done the research already, to people who know of her this book is meant to show the struggles of her life and what so many other child stars actually go through. If its off putting for you thats okay but this is what she feels, shes happy that her mother is dead because now she can fucking move on, hence the title.

@@King9tails I get what you're saying, but I honestly think that's fine. If she did it for shock and money I don't blame her. Her mother exploited her to pay the bills for years. She said her mother used her acting to pay for everything. Her mother can return some of that (indirectly) with this book. Dark? Maybe, but her mother was far worse.

Facts

She is it’s very admirable 💖

I mean, she’s 30 lol

I find her words very disturbing and disrespectful. She'll never work again. You can bet on that. She continues the cycle of abuse to others by writing and telling the world how awful certain people she was close to that they effed up her life. Ok thanks for the info now go get therapy. Hollywood has no empathy or space for this boo hoo story. She better keep her money from her tell all book. She just ended whatever career she might of had.

You are so awesome. Thanks for sharing . Keep up the good work. Thanks for being a shining star . Bless you.

Then the damn reporter cold AF “why, why are you proud of yourself”.

@@imrosegogi1714 It's the reporter's job to make sure the audience understands the why. She wasn't being insulting or doubtful. The question helps internalize the moment for both Jennette AND the audience. I think it would have been even more rude to completely ignore her statement and move on in the interview as if she wasn't having a moment.

She said it was a long time since the last time she indulged the disorder, and i took that at optimistically as i could and interpreted it as her putting it in the past.

She is a dead ringer for Barbara Eden.

@@davidlafleche1142 I had no idea what dead ringer was and was so confused, lol. But yeah, she looks just like her!

@@user-sf9gs2pg1b means look alike

Matured for her age? She’s 30

@@user-sf9gs2pg1b I wrote a story about a child actress ("Catch a Falling Star"--see homepage/about). I'll bet any teen actress could read it, and, say, "That's me."

i’m going through the EXACT same thing. you’re not alone and your feelings are 100% valid!!🧡 we got this! we’re strong as hell.

I agree with everything you said. Congratulations on doing what is best for you, despite what other people think. That takes courage.

Good. You know yourself more than anyone. Don't listen to a word anyone else says and only do what you think is best.

I get it! I haven't talked to mine in 6 years. People can't fathom it, and it use to infuriate me but now it just bothers me. Just because women have reproductive organs doesn't mean they are fit for kids. My mother use to make me wear the same clothes for a week, lived in a hoarder home and threw scissors in my face toppled with verbal abuse. There are mothers who rape their own kids worst case scenario....There's also this thing calls Satanic Ritual abuse, I'm not sure how it works but I know that the parents are involved.... At this point I don't bother with people, I keep it short and simple, some people I don't even tell at all. If they were to continue pushing me I wouldn't open up but I'd say some mother's go to jail some mother's die at birth.....not everyone has a mom....and just walk away...There are just details that are to intimate to share with people and it's ok to say I will not talk about it.....Maybe you might not agree but what has helped me was finding healing in God and of course I've gone through therapy....Lord knows how much my emotions were damaged but parts of me have healed and I once again thank God!

Yes. So true

It so heart breaking to know that she was enduring such pain while she was giving others such joy at the time of those shows!

Why did you capitalize she and her?

Your Generosity towards my infection called Herpes virus is Incomparable. You assured me of getting healed and surprisingly after 14 days of taking the medication I ,tested Herpes Negative. Thanks .#drehimen I will keep letting the world know about your RU-vid channel ,

I hope you get to be kind& gentle with yourself .You truly deserve it .

Amen!!! That’s Awesome!!!!

Truly

Agreed🥹

You are sucha child .grow up.

Absolutely. The producers did a great job with this interview.

@Janel yeah it is, but there are people who do interviewing the wrong way, they'll ask questions regardless if it were personal to a person and not know a barrier between whats right and wrong to say

@Janel sometimes they do it really badly

@Janel people can easily do their job badly. Why not praise people who do it well ?

She's probably a druggie

Same

I agree 100

I never buy books, but i got hers for $11 as a kindle e-book and its totally worth the read. She has such insightful stories that really put you into her shoes. Plus the chapters are very short and pretty digestible. Its also funny and really sad at the same time?

@@FKTheLGBPTCFUIA-ke8kv your username is awful. How could you read a book about healing and yet encourage the same energy that needs healing.

This comment right here. I felt the same way. A shame the adults in her life failed her

Same. I always loved Sam’s personality and it breaks my heart to hear that Jeannette was being so badly treated by those that she’s supposed to trust

This is proof that Jeannette is truly a strong person, that even though she was going through struggles at that age she still inspired people to go through their own-and this interview is testament to her continued growth

Fr she was so cool when I was young sad she was struggling bad behind The scenes

100% agree and thought the same thing!!! I used to watch this show when I was younger and then my daughter started watching it and sam & cat and I just cannot believe the trauma and abuse she went through…. I just started listening to her book on audible and I’m already 1/2 way done and it’s just… wow

Probably because she knew she’d make more by selling out her mother

@@calibean7736 yeah she sold out her abusive, evil mother by telling the truth You sound like an abuser

I 100% agree.

If hush money doesn't involve a contract, you can break it.

@@Iliadic hush money ALWAYS involves a contract...that's the entire point of it!

well said.

@@beautifulangel7723 cgi

@@CoffeeTXqueen I'd rather just not have kids in anything at that point.

@@beautifulangel7723 I think what we're talking about is child stars and not child actors. There is a lot of pressure associated with a child star who is bolstered as the one to beat. Child actors, with a lot of support and less stress to remain at the top of their game can have a successful acting career without the added overwhelming incentives and million dollar contracts etc. Parents also need to get their hands out of these young actors pockets. That's huge incentive for some guardians to put their children in unsafe conditions.

@@CoffeeTXqueen lmao that'd be so obvious
