I grew up watching and loving #iCarly, but I had no idea what Jennette McCurdy—who played Sam Puckett, the sardonic, wisecracking best friend of Carly and Freddie—was going through behind the scenes. In her new memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” McCurdy writes about how her happy-go-lucky, onscreen persona masked the trauma that she suffered at the hands of her late mother, Debra, who physically and emotionally abused her, controlled virtually every aspect of her life, and forced her into a line of work that left her feeling unfulfilled and embarrassed from an early age. For @TeenVogue, I spoke with McCurdy about the process of writing her harrowing new memoir, why she felt it was important to be honest about her time at #Nickelodeon and her past eating disorders, her relationships with Miranda Cosgrove and Ariana Grande and much more. A special thank you to @claire_ifying for approving this piece!
