For anyone who wants "I'm Glad My Mom Died"

I recently made a post offering people the pdf version of Jennette McCurdys "'I'm Glad My Mom Died.' I asked that they DM me or send an ask if they wanted it but im not doing that anymore. After a few days of sending the book to people I realized that it would be better for everyone if I simply posted it.

If youre unfamiliar with what it is or how it works I will provide the details. The source is a perfectly safe and legal ebook library that exists to make reading accesible for all. It's like borrowing from a library. When my local library and Libby doesn't have a book I want to read this is my go-to. As I mentioned in my previous post, I believe its important for our generation and our inner tweens/teens to read this.

For those of us who were fans of ICarly/ Sam & Cat

For those of us who have a Debra McCurdy (Jennetes mom) in our lives

For those of us who are not in a safe place to have a physical copy of it in our hands.

For those of us who cant afford it or access it at their local library or school library

and

For those of us who have someone else controlling our lives or finances

Click here to download "I'm Glad My Mom Died"

Just scroll down to where it says download pdf and you should be set from there. Only thing I suggest is that you have a pdf reader or it will be a bit awkward to read it. 📚 Thank you all for asking for and supporting Jennetes book! Thanks to you she has a best seller and I'm simple grateful for those of you who shared your stories with me. Although I didn't demand or require any explanations for why they were asking for the book people shared their reasons for wanting the book and it was quite eye opening. All of the reasons I mentioned above were just some of the legit reasons why some people asked for the book. You can tell that her story is going to touch people's hearts. Whatever your reason, even if you're just reading it to read it, I hope it touches yours as well. I hope you enjoy it!

High key fuck Ariana grande, every other rich person in the industry, Dan Schneider, and every man that has ever hurt or touched Jennette McCurdy

#jennette mccurdy #i’m glad my mom died #it’s such a good book I def recommend but lots of trigger warnings #when she talked about how the creator would compare them against the victorious cast #like yes I know first hand they were all assholes #it’s so crazy putting together parts that I know as an outsider w her as an insider #def cranked the I hate men the industry and everyone meter back up over the charts again lol #and ik it’s their job and lively hood but idk how Miranda or anyone from icarly or Nickelodeon could support him after this came out #and I know as far as Hollywood goes what he did wouldn’t even consider being bad but like I don’t like that icarly gets a reboot tbh #anygays… #I could talk all day about Nickelodeon and that time period lol

One thing I notice about the Taika hate especially in regard to Rita is the way the haters really idolise Taika's first wife Chelsea Winstanley and put her on a pedistool, according to them, she is this goddess he owes his whole life and career too and he MUST have screwed her over and she must have been the 'victim' in their breakup (people love spreading baseless rumours there is absolutely NO actual evidence for, i find those rumours peoole spread actually really painful to hear about), but Chelsea and Taika support each others work to this day, and make out he abandoned her and his kids when he got big (i saw someone say he hasnt talked to his kids in years which is factually untrue hes always posting with his kids and they were with him for a lot of the pandemic).

I also find the way she is contrasted with Rita jarring, I get the impression they see her as 'classy' while Rita is 'trashy', they literally refer to Rita as his 'girlfriend' rather than his wife when discussing her, implying Chelsea is the only one who is wife material and Rita is just his 'wh*re', I even saw one person saying she is doing so much cool stuff but Taika is only promoting Rita's stuff cos 'men think with their penises' (I HATE THAT PHRASE!) but Taika has promoted Chelsea's work before he had Rita's song link in his bio he had the link to her and his sister Tweedy's Maori translations of the Lion King.

I find that whole thing very 'Madonna-Whore' dichotomy, I also see people go on about how she is 'the mother of his children' in a bid to make him feel guilty for being with Rita, which I feel like shows the idealisation of mothers in society and how they are seen as 'better' than other women (something Jennette Mccurdy mentioned in her book) while we know how demonised stepmothers are, just look at sl many fairytales.

And of course all this is used to make Taika look bad.

Hey Anon! Sorry for the delay! Every time I came to answer you I had crazy stuff at work happen.

Yeah it's really uncomfortable how they just kind of make up rumors about him. He did those "dad" videos for forever and people were saying he wasn't in contact with his kids then too (which is like.. they're on camera with him man, and they were in his show in 2023?). It's a growing problem with people who are "hearing things" on the internet and believing them as truths with little to no research of their own (or going to sources that are entirely biased in their directions so of course they'll get corroborating "evidence").

Thank you for sharing this perspective, especially about the "mother ideal" vs the "whore". I agree, it seems like there's a lot of hate towards Rita for being just a modern woman not wanting to go down the traditional "mother" route. It's crazy that it's 2024 (omg crap is it really 2024) and people are still expecting women to only be birthers. I'm a mom, but I chose to be a mom, I knew that was something I wanted a lot of my life because I love kids and I love language, and learning and seeing that in a kiddo is great! But I know so many women and men who don't want children and that's completely normal! Not every person on this planet has to procreate (and honestly we're overpopulated as it is), and labeling women whores for not wanting to be a mother really is incredibly puritanical. Unfortunately, I feel like no matter what Taika does... supports Rita doesn't support Rita, supports Chelsea, doesn't support Chelsea, sees his kids too often, sees his kids too little, someone is going to have a problem with him. Multiple anons and mutuals have brought up that it really is pretty damn racist how the people getting the most hate are the brown indigenous man, and his Albanian wife. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering how much he does for indigenous films, shows, and people in general.

Ps: Regarding "men think with their penises" that doesn't even make sense like... are you NOT supposed to support the women in your life? Like what does the penis even have to do with anything in this case?

I will make the note in case you werent already aware I am a white woman so I don't want to speak to black or indigenous experience when they can do it better-- but I would like to share a work by a Black Writer I follow on IG.

SRC: blackliturgies

I feel like this is INCREDIBLY apt when it comes to the situation of Taika (and honestly women in general who don't go down the mother path). Whether people realise it's a part of systemic racism (and sexism) or not, so many people have been programmed to shame others if they don't follow the "norm". It's why it's so important for everyone to keep fighting back whenever that shame becomes public. Anyway, sorry, your talking points are really important and they got me rambling! I appreciate you bringing them up. If you wanna talk more about them feel free to DM me!

Thanks for writing in anon, I hope you have a good day and stay safe and warm out there! <3

I started and finished Quiet on Set in one sitting this evening. There’s obviously a lot to unpack from this docu-series and it would take a significant amount of time to run through every single thing that stood out to me in all the wrong ways, so I just want to quickly say this: there was an abundance of red flags with all these adults who were trusted with young children, and it truly blows my mind that 1) Nickelodeon as a network approved it and 2) almost none of the parents of these child stars spoke out about it. The ones who did were either alienated from their child or their child was fired. I can’t remember who it was who said something along the lines of “if you’re an adult who’s going to employ children, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you create an environment where they feel safe expressing they’re not comfortable with something,” but she hit the nail on the head with that one. In the 20 year time span this docu-series covered, none of these child stars felt comfortable expressing any discomfort they felt in their tenure with Nickelodeon. Jennette McCurdy’s book still haunts me to this day, and it pains me to say that she barely scratched the surface.

It’s disappointing to learn that so many disgusting things were going on behind the scenes of so many shows I adored as a child/tween, and I hope every single one of these child stars know how much support they have and are able to heal.

Dan Schneider, Jason Handy, Brian Peck, Ezel Channel, Robin Bell, and whoever else was behind these child stars being abused and exploited — you should all feel ashamed of yourselves and I genuinely hope you all know no peace for the rest of your lives.

Does Jennette McCurdy know that there are people out there now who know and appreciate her more for sharing her real life story than her role in iCarly? I hope so and I hope it does something positive for her.

Child abuse isn't always the loud, drunk, physically violent father you see in media, and abuse that doesn't fit that image isn't talked about enough. Sometimes it's moms who do invasive things to "support" or "protect" you that you don't realize aren't normal and have fucked up your brain until you're an adult.

harrowing memoirs by female comedians double feature

"I'm glad my mom died" by jennette mccurdy. if you're looking for juicy drama about nickelodeon that's not what the book is about. although she does mention that there was a time when "the creator" was banned from physically being on set with the talent so he would direct from a room across the studio and send a pa with notes and it added three hours of wasted time to their workdays. knowing that she went through all this while working on kids tv does make it feel even more intense or shocking but it's mostly about her life and her mother. I know she first wrote it as a one-woman show and I'm so curious about that version of it. I feel like when reading the book you can see the cadence of stand-up in the writing. maybe I should listen to her audiobook recording... anyway I think it's amazing that ms mccurdy managed to live through all this, recover, and then craft it into a narrative that's entertaining to others. all three of those things are so difficult to do

"ducks" by kate beaton. this was also published in 2022. ms beaton went to work at a mining camp in alberta in 2005 bc she needed to pay off her student loans and that's where the jobs were. unfortunately it was grueling and miserable to face constant harassment from the men at the camp who outnumbered female employees 50-1. the other women she befriended knew what it was like but it was hard for men to understand. a lot of the book is about the feeling of the camp being a liminal space, not "real life," bc everyone there just wants to go home. the men behave in ways they might not in their "real" life and the women put up with things they might not if they had supportive female bosses. cw for rape

I actually don't recommend reading these as a double feature bc they're too depressing. read something light in between

have you ever struggled with binge eating? recently I'm increasingly consuming large amounts of food even after my stomach feels full to the point it hurts and bloats about 5cm. I feel like I'm developing an addiction to food. I'm currently laying in bed in pain, unable to focus on my school assignments. Sorry to ask as it's not your job to help people with things like this, but just thought hearing something coming from you might help

I think the most important thing is that any self destructive behaviour starts the process of healing when you deal with the root of the problem, when you reach out for professional help, and start to reflect on why you are using it, in this case food, as a destructive coping mechanism. Jennette McCurdy is a great person to listen to about eating disorders. When you decide to heal and you seek out support like you are doing now, you will find it! There’s tonnes of resources and information out there and it will take time and effort but it doesn’t have to be like this. I’m sure you’re aware of how dangerous binge eating can be for your organs physically, so it’s highly important you seek help and regularly eat enough throughout the day so you don’t get too hungry and trigger a binge (I know not all binges start that way but it’s one way to mitigate some of them). you are struggling and there’s no shame in that fact - it just highlights how crucial it is that you are gentle and compassionate with yourself because you have to be. becoming better is about saving yourself. I know you’ll come out of this stronger!

Just watched quiet on the set and man not gonna be able to watch sonic the same knowing Marsden wrote a letter in support of a child molester. Will Friedel too, like maybe they were lied to about the details of the case but damn.

I still need to start QotS. I think the main thing that keeps holding me back (aside from time) is that everytime I saw Drake Bell being lauded as one of the brave ones for speaking up, all my brain kept ringing out with was:

'...Wait, are we forgetting that Drake Bell also had some creeper behavior a few years ago? ...Also, wait, why is everyone acting like he's one of the first people to speak out? Did we not just have Jennette McCurdy flay out her soul with I'm Glad My Mom Died?'

But, in regards to your original ask... I hate to say it but if you dig deep into any Hollywood darling, you're going to inevitably come across some bullshit.

Like... I love, like LOVE Guillermo Del Toro... But I would be remiss if I denied his support of Roman Polanski.

Since Mom’s not a fan of me writing screenplays, I’ve taken an indefinite hiatus from those, but she is very supportive of me writing quick little poems about how much I love her, so I keep up with writing this way now.

I just read Jennette McCurdy’s book I’m Glad My Mom Died and WOW do I have thoughts. Obligatory tw because the book is very much about eating disorders and she uses specific numbers and describes behaviors in detail. But she also talks about how fucking miserable she was, for so long, so it’s a very honest and real and not-glamorized portrayal.

That said, oh my god was it an incredible book. Very raw and real. She tracks her ED story for over a decade, discusses behavior swapping and cycling through different disorders over time, and portrays the inner eating disorder voice without having, like, italicized lines representing the voice directly, which has never really resonated with me. She talks about how hard it is to build a new identity when the disorder has been part of you for so long. She’s also honest about the timeline, about how she spent most of her 20s flirting with the idea of getting better, trying and giving up, trying again and giving up, and finally trying and sticking it out, and even then it took years with lots of slips. Incredibly honest and brave.

It was also the first time I’ve encountered an ED memoir where the main character didn’t have supportive parents pushing her to get better. In fact, it was the opposite - her mother actually encouraged her ED. (Her mother was horrible. Horrible. Like I can barely believe some of those stories were actual real things that person did to their daughter. My god.) And while my situation wasn’t even close to that awful, it was nice to see a story where, for once, parents weren’t falling over themselves to rush in and save their child, weren’t begging them to get better. Because that has never been the reality for me. While my mother is a mentally stable and generally very kind person, she has never been able to give me the support that I need. And all of the ED memoirs (yes I’m rereading the old ED books from the 2010s, it’s fine I’m fine) that I’ve ever read featured parents at least somewhere on the spectrum of concern. They featured kids, even if they were adult kids, getting support, or at least being offered support whether or not they were willing to accept it. It was incredible to read about someone who didn’t have that, who had to decide for herself to get better, and then hold herself accountable to keep choosing recovery over and over. I'm so grateful that Jennette chose to write this book.

when jennette mccurdy wrote, "I’m having a lot of feelings and I can identify what they are. It feels like progress."

as someone who is in the process of dealing with childhood trauma, in therapy, i know that moment. and i am so happy that she has that too.

i was one of icarly's many fans when it blew up. jennette was my favorite. i found her to be the funniest of the three, god bless them all. i even listened to her country music. years after that, she resurfaced on my youtube feed with short films and podcast videos, all of which i watched and enjoyed. i've always respected her talent.

now, hearing jennette tell her own story in own voice at her own terms finally for the first time is a Moment i treasure. she is hilarious and observant, which only makes the painful moments of her memoir even more poignant.

her book is devastating and awe-inspiring. and i have to note that her friendship with miranda made me emotional. miranda was there to drive jennette when her mom slipped into coma; to provide support when she met her biological father; to keep an eye out when she was recovering from her ED. i feel so proud of two people i have never met but have felt like i have grown up with since they gave me so much joy in my younger years.

i finished the memoir in one day, but i needed the next couple of days to sit with all the feelings it brought up inside me. her words are a gift.

Let's talk about my dream book (it's also a highly rated one)

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

I have not read this yet, nor can I get a hold of it.

Through what I have heard, it can be a triggering book. Throughout the book there's depictions of eating disorders (Bulimia, Anorexia and Binge-eating), child abuse (physical, emotional, mental and sexual), exploitation, pedophilia, underage drinking, domestic violence, terminal illness (breast cancer) and death from terminal illness (breast cancer)

In all honesty, I think that Jennette has a type of writing style that can change a dark, saddening book to one that can make you smile or laugh. She has that effect on people. I've been a fan of her work for many years, whether it's writing, directing or acting.

I can get why Jennette has a dislike to Ariana, Dan and her mother (or even hatred to some). What I don't get is why some Ariana Grande fans have/ are hating/ hated on Jennette. Jennette was jealous but because of the fact that Ariana had a good upbringing and she could miss episodes for her music. She was also paid more than Jennette even though they have the same amount of screen time.

I can also get the fact that some people might be angry at Jennette's choice of quitting acting. She quit after her mom died, I don't have a specific explanation but it could be somewhere near that she felt free. I support her actions and speaking out about the abuse she's faced for many years.

Overall, I think that it's a great book (or will be) and I would recommend to anyone that likes icarly/ Sam and cat/ victorious or has a genuine interest in Jennette McCurdy.

Bye

Have you read "I'm glad my mom died" by Jennette McCurdy?

No, but I totally support her.

Not only did I grow up with a (severely) abusive parent (male side), but I was very close a few years back with an actress who had an abusive 'stage mom' type as well, so a lot of what I've seen that JMC talks about is eerily familiar and her feelings (and that title) is valid.

I wish her nothing but health and healing and good things.
