For anyone growing up in the 2000s, Ennet McCurdi was a big part of their childhood. She played a Sam package, a rough and awkward girl with a kinky attitude, at the Sym of Nickelodeon "Icarley". High-energy, candy color show follows a group of teenagers finding a glory in a joke web series. "Icarly" was moving from 2007 to 2012 and was followed by spin-offs and "winning" crossover ", Sam and Kat", where McCurdi starred along with Ariana Grande (now nominated for Oscar for her role in her role in The film adaptation of "evil") as the names of the series. Their characters were like oil and vinegar, with Sam's hardness raised against the sweet, dizi nature of the cat. The series was short -lived, however, and only moving from 2013 to 2014.

In 2021, "Icarly" resurrected to Paramount+. The rebirth lasted three seasons and focused on Adult Carly (Miranda Kosgrov, recording her role in the original series), now neurotic influential from 20-something and social media. Critics were interested in restarting, with /film Valerie Etenhofer describes the Revival "Icarly" As a "clever and feasting sample in connection with the younger millennium anxiety and the absurdity of late capitalism - one that is fundamentally progressive and inadvertently raised." However, McCurdi did not repeat his role as Sam for the series, heavily disappeared from Hollywood (at least on the screen) in the years of her days as a children's Starwar for reasons that are personal and, unfortunately, traumatic.

The announcement of Ennnet McCurdi's book "I'm glad my mother died," with the title of attention, it was a bomb that shook Hollywood and longtime Icarly fans. The cover of the book, which has bright pastel colors and McCurdi's resignation, while she holds a pink ruin filled with confetti, perfectly captures her unique gloomy humor. On the surface, McCurdi seemed to live the dream as a starvet of nickelodeon, but its sincere memoirs reveal how tax fame is on her mental health. Reading that, she will learn that her whole career was under the shadow of her violent mother, who controlled almost every aspect of her life. It included bothering every chicken food she ate, forcing her to continue acting as family food, however, though, even showering her well in her teens.

"I am glad that my mother died" is both a heart and open eye, written with a delicate balance of incessant vulnerability, dry wit and insight. It helps readers to understand why McCurdi chose to disappear from Hollywood around 2018, at least in front of the camera, looking as it caused so much trouble. As she explains to her podcast "Empty inside", "With my mother's death) many of her ideas for my life died and it was her own journey and it is certainly difficult." Her memoirs also reveal many other reasons, despite the unhealthy relationship with her mother, which made her get rid of show business.

Although Ennet McCurdi only refers to the "Creator" in "I'm glad my mother died", she clearly speaks of Dan Schneider, the creator of Icarley and countless other nickelodeon hits. She refers to his toxic and immature behavior, which was also Exposed in the 2024 documentary "Quiet of Seth". The documentary made shocking discoveries of how inappropriate Schneider was while filming children's sitcoms and how the whole network was defined by predatory culture - by many of the adults working on his shows are pedophiles. As a result, Nickelodeon destroyed the childhood of its talented young actors of this era.

In his book, McCurdi describes the creator as "a mid -spirit, controlled and frightening", shooting children for small mistakes and making "adult men and women crying with his insults and degradation". He would also be flirtatious, explicitly asking McCurdie 14 to try more bikini, so there are many options to consider and often offer to give her shoulder friction. In addition, creator cruelly included excessively tens of eating scenes for her image Sam, knowing completely that McCurdie was dealing with food uncertainties. Nickelodeon later offered a 300,000 USD to agree not to discuss her experiences on the network in her book, but McCurdi turned the city to speak the truth and raise awareness of this exploitative behavior. The glossy, fun lubator of the nickelodeon desktop veneer was supposed to be unmasked for the world.

Netnennet McCurdi said acting is an incredibly difficult profession for her. She was forced into her career at the age of 6, and although McCurdi found success, it was never something she really wanted. Throwing into a room with foreigners for auditions that are expected to fit perfectly to their subjective expectations, it was nervous, especially for a young child trying to support his family. In his book, McCurdi recalls that she imagines the death of a family member to cry on a sign of a technique that helped her roles in the country, but emotionally pampered her still developed mind.

If McCurdi would mention to give up, her mother would have an emotional breakdown. "" You can't give up! "Mama waste. She climbed the steering wheel, accidentally hitting her horn. Her mother was obsessed with making a starvet and became McCurdi's mission to succeed in order to make her stable and happy.

In particular, female actors face huge pressure to maintain a certain standard of beauty, one that is slim and soft. Unfortunately, McCurdi was no exception even as a children's Starwar. "I'm glad my mother died," McCurdi recalls how her agent said she had not been auditioned for "for the sake of Vin-Dixes" because she was too "home", not "ethereal beauty". At that time he was 13 years old. These impossible demands for female ideal have only worsened problems with a diet that McCurdi has already fought.

While many former Disney and Nickelodeon Stars are managed to get out of the shadow of their roles in the center of Kidi (see Zendaya plays a woman and mother in the weak romantic sports drama "Caigiors"), McCurdi could never. "I feel so unfulfilled by the roles I played and felt as if it were the most vulgar, embarrassing (...) I imagine having a very different experience to have acting if you are proud of your roles," she explained to her podcast "empty inside". The hyperactive, gross outlaw of acting acts and its role as "Hard Tomboy Sam" has been atmosing great in the mind of casting directors, making it difficult for McCurdi to land on roles outside that box. It can be very difficult for children's actors to escape that writing what they are known for, and if you do not even enjoy acting in the first place, why would you try to get rid of that picture?

McCurdi tried to sign the singing, but it ended as described as "a very retroved country music". Despite finding some success with her sweets, melodic singles "so close" and "Loveubov", her career has never taken off the mall tours. She admits to "I'm glad my mother died" that she became jeboxed at her co-Starvedza "Sam and Cat" Ariana Grande, who bloomed as a pop star. She remembers Grande "misses work regularly to sing at the awards, record new songs and put pressure on her upcoming album as I stay back and get angry the fortress." McCurdi no longer sings; It was another talent her mother fed to have to become a "triple threat" in the party.

Ennet McCurdi dropped out of acting in 2018 to continue writing and directing, telling Hollywood reporter"I never got a chance to be thrown into a project with which I was proud. Now I have a better chance to do the things I am proud than to quarrel in the things I'm proud of." McCurdi did not completely disappear from Hollywood; It is now included only in ways that Give gives greater autonomy and creative control. She even wrote and directed a few short films, many of which are semi-autobiographical. After the success of "I'm glad my mother died", McCurdi also signed a contract with two books.

Outside of writing, McCurdi launched the "empty inside" podcast in 2021 and "hard feelings" in 2023, both being therapeutic dives in deep threads for human foils and healing. So far, McCurdi seems to be the most convenient to take control of what is part of the creative, having been controlled by others for so long - her mother, nickelodeon and the general Hollywood machine.

Using her witty and compassionate voice in her own projects, McCurdi reveals a catheter release by drawing from her past from behind the scenes - although she has not turned off his full return to Hollywood in front of the camera. "I feel like only by writing the book, whether I have gone to a place where I think there can be a way to explore acting that does not carry that luggage I carried with me for so long. Maybe if I write something about myself. I think I would really be one of the only ways I could try to explore it again, "she said And! News In 2022.
