i’ve seen so many interviews where they focus on nickelodeon, and while she does touch on how awful dan was, the majority was really about what she went through as a child with her mom. it’s not just about nickelodeon. things were going on in her personal life that we didn’t realize or know about
Thank god. If ppl didnt read the book and went off what the media is focusing you’d think the whole thing is about Dan Schneider and Ariana Grande. And it’s so much more than those few pages. So much . She is amazing.
And she reads it so well! Her impersonation of Miranda was spot on and did amazing at portraying her mother. I felt like her reading it made me understand more
I love that they asked how she's doing with all this press and fame from the book. I hope its effecting her in a good way now, especially when before it was so traumatic. I just hope she's okay.
I think it’s weird how no one ever asks about her dad, the other adult in this situation. I just think if my partner had serious mental health issues and would abuse my kids I couldn’t just sit there 20 years later saying “oh well, she was sick” without taking any accountability. Cudos for jennette! Amazing book amazing women
@@fangirl1234fangirl and…? If you see your wife is showering the siblings together when the boy is 15 - heck I’m not the dad but I sure as hell would’ve said sth and taken care of the kids.
The way Jennette describes him, it was clear that he just could not handle confrontation. Perhaps didn’t want to deal with the repercussions of a messy divorce, maybe he didn’t have the inner strength to abandon the family, who knows. But Jennette has mentioned that she let her relationship with the man she thought was her father slide because it was clear there was never any real emotional connection between them.
Sometimes parents can't handle toxic situations 'the turning the blind eye' for numerous reasons better yet most adults lack emotional maturity and confidence to know what to do in those situations, maybe he simply just didn't care. Not making excuses because him being a bystander is just as bad as her Mother. he probably lacked empathy as well. It's a very weird situation but happens more than you think
I highly recommend the audiobook that Jennette reads like they said at the end of the video. It’s incredible to hear her tell her story through this beautiful writing style.
I have been such a huge fan of Jennette since she first appeared on iCarly, and am so proud of how she has come out of the other side of all she has been through. She is very strong and most definitely intelligent. Whatever she does next, there is no doubt she will be great at it.
I Listened to the audio book and wow I hope she writes and directs a movie based on the book when she is ready and not angry of the thought of acting again
Can’t wait to get this book, was on the fence about it, but this interview sold me. Great questions and great background information leading up to the making of it.
I really enjoyed watching this video, I haven’t seen any of their other videos but it seems like the interviewer in the white shirt on the left is significantly more articulate and thinks deeper about her questions then the girl on the right. It doesn’t seem like the girl on the right even read the book and the only time that she did talk she would just associate Jeanette with her being young and remembering what it was like to watch her. Her comments were not very articulate or as in depth as the lady on the left (“it was like wow” “it was like boom” “you know?” like she’s figuring out the question she’s asking as she’s speaking.) I definitely preferred the white shirt girls questions and style of interviewing much more, the white shirt girl is THE reason the interview was so good. Nonetheless I really liked this interview and hearing Jeanettes heart
First time I see content from them but it was really funny to notice that some of the commentary is exactly the same as another creator who does book reviews. The hole thing about the style of writing was almost to the dot. 🤔
@@olamideojetunde9419 I’ve seen more in-depth interviews fulfilling the “opens up” title of this guest’s journey on other shows. I guess I thought we’d get more. I feel the hosts -though nice-talked too much here, too.
Holy crap Jeanette is a smart smart woman. Her language is extremely poignant; she gets her points and thoughts across in a very succinct and powerful way. I'm highly impressed with her ability to communicate her experiences and I can imagine how amazing her book must be.
I have a horrible relationship with my mom .. my old sister use to be called horrible names by my mom .. and its SO AMAZING TO NORMALIZE HAVING ADULTS COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR PARENTS BEING ABUSIVE!!!. it's not right and we can't keep acting like the abuse is OK " because she's my mom"... SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE CHILDREN & AND ARE HORRIBLE PARENTS
@@xxxluckycharmsxxx and it wouldn’t have mattered who we were (they have no clue anyway) the predator/parasite “parents” would have treated them just as they treated us: Abusively and with malice.
I did not know Jennette McCurdy. I am an adult. Didn't watch her show, my child did. I just stumbled into her interview while I was going through news headlines. As soon as saw her book title I knew what it was about, before even I watched her interview. You know how the saying goes: Takes One To Know One... Just like her book title suggests , is exactly how I felt when my mom died and I was an adult. I didn't hate my Mom. I always tried to please her. She was a narc and had mental illness. She thought she was perfect. I felt bad for her and was sad for her too. For me Making any decision was so stressful cuz always had to factor in her approval or disapproval. I was depressed and exhausted all the time. She had a strong grip on me All Through My Life. As long as she was in the picture there was no freedom for me. It took her passing for me finally to be able to establish my life, as an adult, after getting married, becoming a mom, getting divorced. I lived parallel lives, a different life with her and a different life at school/work. I could not keep any friends/relationships. I couldn't stay loyal to my friends. Had commitment issues. I didn't want ppl to find out about my home life. I knew stg was not normal. I had found out that everybody did not live like me. I was shocked when I found out that ppl had nice parents and families were nice to each other. Had no self esteem, no confidence in myself. Childhood was full of trauma and was very scared of her. I got good grades at school but that was bcuz of fear of her and therefore trying to please her. Other wise school was no fun, learning was very difficult for me. I was actually smart but I had attention issues. I had a rly hard time studying. Having no self esteem I made friends with other at risk ppl. (not like drugs but other abusive ppl, bullies and such.) Cuz they didn't question my life. They didn't seek for a real friendship from me. I didn't know my self worth so I was choosing ppl that didn't respect my worth as a person, including the person I married. I didn't do any of this to my daughter. We have a loving relationship. Parents owe it to their children to teach them how to fly and to navigate this journey called life and set them free when we must. We must let them use their wings, don't wait till they grow up and leave the house. Start when they are very young, let them have their wings as soon as they understand their surroundings, help them to develop self determination. Thank you Ladies for sharing this interview.
I could have written exactly what you just wrote; I'm relieved to know that I am not alone in feeling this way, too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us
@@Thenomaddss l am sorry to hear that. I hope you are free from this cult like life and doing better. If not, I hope you have friends and family members that can morally support you. I was hiding it and was faking it as if l was living a normal life. That was a big mistake and trying to deal with this alone was complicating my life even more. Not everyone is understanding, even your own family members can be clueless of your pain. All you need is just a couple of good ppl that can be there for you and not judge you. That can make a big difference. I wish I had opened up to somebody instead of doing this all alone. Good Luck to you. Wishing you a stress free life. ❤️
My God you guys were so amazing and respectful it's so refreshing because most "journalists" in media like CNN, GMA are often pretty rude and condescending. Love yall and Jennette and yes her book had sold out on every Barnes and Noble location in my area
At 5:50 I started tearing up and crying a little bc I’m one of those people who relates so much to the book. I read it in one day as well and even though it’s not my mom who is my abuser, it’s someone in my family who I adore and love more than anything but have still thought in my head “at least when they die, I’ll be free. I can’t leave them but when they die I will be free.” And it’s heartbreaking to even think that but it’s true for a lot of people. Thank you to Jennette for sharing this story. It’s so beautifully written as well. Thanks for having her on the pod. To anyone else reading, Please read the book if you haven’t!
“At least when they die, I’ll be free…” hmm so this is the answer to one of my recent thoughts…”how can I fully recover from this? Why do I still cry about it, they are family. I want to be around them, but they are the first to break my heart,trust,etc..”
Jennette is awesome! So amazing that's she decided to tell about her story and find an inner peace through such a dark past. A week before hearing of her book, my mother and I had a blowup her not accepting my coming of age wanting to keep me in this bubble all in all her book got me to confront the issues and speaking more openly with my mother has improved a lot. Her mentioning that it's connecting people back to humanity through talking and bringing back an honesty in conversations is what the world has been lacking recently in these times.
@@CantoErgoSum I was “forced” into the mormon church. Really nice people but around 12-13 years old I could see the holes in the church’s beliefs. Overall never had a bad experience and met a ton of nice, welcoming and charitable humans.
@@NYSeaNile If all I were doing were passing along vicious rumor, that might apply. Since we know I am only telling the truth, I don't see how I'm demonizing anyone, and certainly not on the basis of ideological disagreement.
As an old i'd never heard of Jeannette and first saw her on Mayim Bialiks podcast over 6 mths ago pre book release. To say I was blown away is an understatement, her emotional intelligence, self awareness, empathy and ease about talking about her trauma blew me away. Still never seen more than a clip of her actual work but am now a lifelong fan and supporter, I wish her only the best she deserves it
Parents can be so unbelievably toxic. And when a parent or the house is not in balance, a lot of childhood trauma happens and I didn't realize this until about a year ago through therapy. How messed up and very emotionally abandoned I was hurt me so badly and it makes sense now for me to understand why I made the choices I did growing into an adult. So toxic. I do have 5 diagnosis. And I'm still very much hurt.
Yeah. What sucks is that, as a child, we have the instincts of idolizing our parents not fully realizing their actions are toxic. All kids want at the end of the day is to please their parents and to get love and affection. It’s not until adulthood that we fully realize it.
I really like Jeannette but her recent Instagram posts she looks thinner than she ever was before. I just hope she is still doing well in recovery. She seems to say she is but it is worrisome how much weight she’s lost. I love her podcasts and respect her so much.
I agree.. I hate to say it but it worries me too. She’s amazing; I don’t wanna shun her bc she’s been so open with us all when she doesn’t have to be. But gahh she’s so thin, I just hope she’s healthy and happy!
It’s definitely hard to know someone’s health by looking at their body & their weight. I try to focus on how they seem to be doing instead, like how they speak and I definitely think Jeanette is radiating some beautiful energy. She’s telling a story that’s not easy but it’s a beautiful thing to do for the world and I think for herself too. She seems amazing, authentic, healthy, wise and strong to me and I can see it when she smiles! I think she is making the world proud, especially the ppl who can relate to her voice and experiences. I know it’s easy to comment about weight especially when EDs are being discussed, but it really can be misleading and sometimes harmful. I definitely know y’all’s comments were coming from a place of care, love, and worry, but I just thought I would share some of the things I have learned💕💕
excellent interview. answered/ patched up a few questions i had. if you havent read the book yet, consider getting the audiobook! Jennette reads the book herself and gives it emotion in parts that are emotional etc. 5/5 interview and im now subscribed:)
My mom narc- never bonded with me- never respected her. I like her now cause she’s trying where my dad is like shutting down. She’s still a narc but she’s less defensive than he is :((
@@DevHazy im 19 and my mum abused me and my dad. i believe she has bpd and gave it to me aswell, i always knew i didnt like her but having the life experience to reflect hurts. thinking about what i thought was normal and what i thought was bad being so much worse was world shattering. i hope you find peace
@@kilobucket same to you. I never knew either. Once I was 27 I broke down cause I met my husbands parents and they are loving and “normal.” You didn’t deserve any of that!
Been following Jennette’s journey since discovering her TH-cam, and all the interviews she has done before and since the book was released. Inspiring, my parents were somewhat degrees better in some ways. And in my situation, I am finally near to moving out, took me way longer to get to therapy and took a long journey to get financially closer to saving so I can stay moved out. Looking forward to my healing, freedom and finally the life I choose. Not influenced in a negative way by anybody else, except only, in relation to always will be a🐱cat🐾lady for life😁❣️ And personally my faith, Christ centred, biblically sound and in context. 💖✝️📖🕊💖
For those of you who still haven’t purchase the book, don’t purchase the physical copy, get the audio one. She narrates it herself and it just makes it that much more personal.
I read the audio one. It’s good and she explains herself so well and it really makes me sad for all she went through. This is coming from someone who was never a fan of her Nick shows fyi.
Man I miss seeing Jennette, but I'm so glad she's doing well! Hope to get more books from her sometime! Thank you guys for the interview and thank you for doing the interview, Jennette!
mad respect to every woman in this video. the interviewers asked extremely thoughtful, respectful, empathetic questions and jennette answered with the exact same energy
I bet Miley Cirus and Josh Peck can relate to a lot of things in this book, too! I'm reading it now and it's fantastic 😀 and I can't wait for the next of Jeannette's books to come...
I’m really not a reader so I got the audiobook. My god, she’s a FANTASTIC narrator. It really hits hard to hear her tell you the story herself. I highly recommend it
I understand she had issues as a child. She has been talking about them and her book about it for like 2 years now. I’m starting to believe however she is trying to make a career about her past, rather than moving on to a new thing.
Jennette your book helped me w/ so much from my experiences growing up & in adolescence w/ my mother: I thought what I went through was ok/normal. People don’t talk about all of these invasive experiences bc of fear of others not understanding or being appalled at the terrible things you say you’ve been through. I see you! I understand! Healing is possible.
Get the Audible! Like she said, memoirs are so much better being read by the author. It adds to the story in a personal way. Jennette does not over inflect her voice either, which does make the humor a bit more deadpan. You have to be able to detect the bits of sarcasm. I find Audibles with over exaggerated inflections to be cartoonish and annoying af, so I enjoyed her natural way of speaking. (Ps Brian Cranston is another great memoir!)
it basically comes down to would u rather have had ur mom be super toxic to you and your poor right now, or have ur mom be super toxic to you and you have several million dollars from acting. good thing she pushed you in to acting, its gonna be toxic either way
I love seeing an interview where they READ the book and understand that it’s not a Nickelodeon exposé. It’s about childhood trauma.
yesss
YES I really enjoyed the questions and the interview in general. Not another clickbait video trying to be sensational with extreme quotes etc.

Jennette seems just so raw and genuine shes been through so much and shes still kicking and just really kind
You gained a new sub, you guys are so kind and respectful and witty. Love how you dealt with these sensitive topics and how you treated Jeanette.

The father she grew up with was not her biological father. Janettes mom had an affair and the dad knew none of them were his

From what I gather, if he had gotten combative, it would've just turned violent, which would've made it a lot worse. The mother was clearly unstable.
You know you did a great job when the interviewee says they would like to do this again sometime. This was an amazing interview!! Well done :)
LOVED this Watched a lot of Jeanette McCurdy's interviews following up on her book and this is by far one of my favorites!!
Very respectful & good questions 💗 loved this interview. Really glad they let Jennette talk without interrupting

Can’t wait to get this book, was on the fence about it, but this interview sold me. Great questions and great background information leading up to the making of it.
It was sold out at Barnes and Noble for a while too. I was checking every day but got it there 1 day sooner than my Amazon copy would have shipped

Great interview
Fantastic interview! On both Jennette and the interviewers end!!

This interview >>>> every other interview
Jenette never looked like the acting type to me. She always seemed to have author vibes even before writing a book.
You guys asked the best questions!
reminds me of maddie ziegler's mum in a way
Love her
Hopefully, Jennette is okay, she looks unwell in this interview.
So many podcasts have covered this with her omg lol way to be repetitive

She wanted be a writer not an actor, she touches in the book I believe.
It was so impressive

The chronological order of the book 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏 worked so well!!!! Amazing question!!!!!
excellent interview. answered/ patched up a few questions i had. if you havent read the book yet, consider getting the audiobook! Jennette reads the book herself and gives it emotion in parts that are emotional etc. 5/5 interview and im now subscribed:)
Amazing interview! I love when people mention that they “flew” thru a book. Like when I start a book I can’t put it down til it’s over! Lol. Just me?
I finished the book!!!! Love this!!! Emotional abuse here too. And Ed. Go her 🤩🤩🤩
I never idolized my mom but my dad yes. And now at 33. I’m realizing his borderline is just bad bad it hurts
My mom narc- never bonded with me- never respected her. I like her now cause she’s trying where my dad is like shutting down. She’s still a narc but she’s less defensive than he is :((
@@DevHazy im 19 and my mum abused me and my dad. i believe she has bpd and gave it to me aswell, i always knew i didnt like her but having the life experience to reflect hurts. thinking about what i thought was normal and what i thought was bad being so much worse was world shattering. i hope you find peace
@@kilobucket same to you. I never knew either. Once I was 27 I broke down cause I met my husbands parents and they are loving and “normal.”
You didn’t deserve any of that!
@@DevHazy exactly!!
My mother decided to try, I've mostly forgiven her. My father, on the other hand, is 10000% disowned.
Some tumours need to be cut out entirely.
What a great interview! Thanks for this.
Been following Jennette’s journey since discovering her TH-cam, and all the interviews she has done before and since the book was released.
Inspiring, my parents were somewhat degrees better in some ways. And in my situation, I am finally near to moving out, took me way longer to get to therapy and took a long journey to get financially closer to saving so I can stay moved out.
Looking forward to my healing, freedom and finally the life I choose. Not influenced in a negative way by anybody else, except only, in relation to always will be a🐱cat🐾lady for life😁❣️
And personally my faith, Christ centred, biblically sound and in context.

This is an excellent interview!
For those of you who still haven’t purchase the book, don’t purchase the physical copy, get the audio one. She narrates it herself and it just makes it that much more personal.
I read the audio one. It’s good and she explains herself so well and it really makes me sad for all she went through. This is coming from someone who was never a fan of her Nick shows fyi.
Man I miss seeing Jennette, but I'm so glad she's doing well! Hope to get more books from her sometime! Thank you guys for the interview and thank you for doing the interview, Jennette!
Maybe Jeanette’s book should’ve been called the real Sam Puckett.
Coming from a girl who feels the same way about her dad, I 100% get it.
mad respect to every woman in this video. the interviewers asked extremely thoughtful, respectful, empathetic questions and jennette answered with the exact same energy
I bet Miley Cirus and Josh Peck can relate to a lot of things in this book, too! I'm reading it now and it's fantastic 😀 and I can't wait for the next of Jeannette's books to come...
Josh Peck has his own memoir! "Happy People Are Annoying" you should read it! Definitely a few parallels between the two
such refreshing questions, every interview i’ve watched have just been the same questions over and over. loved this!!
Amazed and in awe of Jenette! And proud of Ria and Fran!
This is amazing she sharing her story
i hate when interviewers talk over guests
I’m really not a reader so I got the audiobook. My god, she’s a FANTASTIC narrator. It really hits hard to hear her tell you the story herself. I highly recommend it
i love all of these women. so eloquent
This book is sold out everywhere 😭 I need it!!!
Great interview!
I just feel so relatable to her in a lot of ways with the mother thing ..
I understand she had issues as a child. She has been talking about them and her book about it for like 2 years now. I’m starting to believe however she is trying to make a career about her past, rather than moving on to a new thing.
I'll never watch iCarly again. Not after hearing this.
She just said she doesn’t care if people are still watching Icarly as long as they enjoyed it.
my god...
Jennette your book helped me w/ so much from my experiences growing up & in adolescence w/ my mother: I thought what I went through was ok/normal. People don’t talk about all of these invasive experiences bc of fear of others not understanding or being appalled at the terrible things you say you’ve been through. I see you! I understand! Healing is possible.

Get the Audible! Like she said, memoirs are so much better being read by the author. It adds to the story in a personal way. Jennette does not over inflect her voice either, which does make the humor a bit more deadpan. You have to be able to detect the bits of sarcasm. I find Audibles with over exaggerated inflections to be cartoonish and annoying af, so I enjoyed her natural way of speaking. (Ps Brian Cranston is another great memoir!)
I dont watch this channel but ive been watching all jennets interviews,, you guys actually asked amazing questions!!
Touch much talking by the interviewers. Let the lady speak about her experiences with her mother and acting.
Its so hard to explain for me like somedays its like a switch turns on with them when they don't like something
i used to watch icarlyi went through this as well i hope you have many blessing your step
Jennette is so intelligent and well spoken ❤️ I hope she’s healing and able to heal even more after sharing her story
I love it how she’s willing to do interviews with smaller TH-camrs.
Obama continua a ser um espião nos iluminates foi por isso que eu não quis me envolver com você no início meus perdões
I am so happy for Jeannette, and how her book is helping others.
I got the book today and just finished it. I couldn’t put it down.
I got the audiobook and I listened to it I'm 2 days.
Seu sorriso está mais bonito você está feliz agora 😅
Jeanette deserves all the praise!!!
I wish someone would’ve stepped in and said no
What are you talking about?
it basically comes down to would u rather have had ur mom be super toxic to you and your poor right now, or have ur mom be super toxic to you and you have several million dollars from acting. good thing she pushed you in to acting, its gonna be toxic either way
I feel sorry for myself in my mansion , then I go to my yacht and moan about it there
good for you but she probably doesnt have either of those. you could try doing that in therapy tho, might make it easier for you to actually heal.

I look forward to seeing/reading her future work 🥰
