Her saying « I now shampoo my own hair » is left unnoticed but it’s the most profound thing she said. I bet her mom was a beast. She owned her daughter by interfering with the most intimate yet trivial things such as bathing or taking a shower on your own. She simply tried to control Jennette every way she could. Remind me of one scene from the movie Black Swan with Nathalie Portman. Nina’s mom cut her daughter’s nails and bathed her. Her mom dreamed to be a ballerina and she lived through her daughter like Jennette’s mom dreamt to be an actress and she forced her daughter to be one. So dark and so sad that a mom can’t offer her child love and acceptance.
Basically her mom was controlling her and always wanted to shampoo her hair and put conditioner, it also led some very disgusting SA moments
Her mom sounds like "Joseph Jackson". 🤔
It wasn’t left unnoticed lol
her mom abused her sexually in the shower, its terrible
knowing that a character played by natalie portman had a controlling, narcissistic mother makes me feel better about my own controlling, narcissistic mother lol
Being the daughter of a narcissist is a special hell, not reserved for child actors. I feel for her. I can appreciate how she feels finally free…my freedom has not yet come. I have no siblings, so my experience has been very different, but narcissistic parents consume their children, no matter how many they have.
It’s possible to heal from it. I’m living proof. I became a self-healer and now it’s part of my purpose and passion to help others. I healed myself and my relationship (I accepted it for what it is) and see it has to do with a larger situation. I have become a protector, referee, good natured spiritual daughter. Fortunately my mom and dad are both alive and I am able to live with them as they are both aging and need support. I finally got a voice and can stand up and speak up, not like when I was a kid. In the end, if you can break free from the mental control/codependency conditionings and build your self worth, you can overcome. I’m the youngest of 2 older brothers and half sister from my dad’s side. That’s a whole other mess. Good luck in your healing journey. 🙏🙌✨💟
@@SatyaKaliYam good for you👍
@@SatyaKaliYam thank you for sharing
Same my freedom has not yet come
You deserve to find a loving community and independence no matter what. A friend told me recently that our parents’ pain is never ours to inherit. I hate that we inevitably do, but you don’t deserve, nor did your existence cause, any of that pain. ❤️
Finally an interviewer who can respect Jenette and ask the questions on a careful and deep way. I fell like most the interviews i watched with her they are always trying to poke her and kind of judging instead of respecting her experience with everything awful that happened. :) Good work abc!
He's Christopher Reeve (Superman)'s son!
@@jallar4 oh my god he looked familiar! No wonder he was so thoughtful and kind.
Majority of the interviews only want to talk about her mentioning Ariana Grande and the money the network offered her to not speak about her experience
@ Vitória Miotto You should watch Amanpour & co interview, very intelligent and thoughtful.
@@Yarrow_Rose I will! Thank you :D
I'm around halfway through the audiobook and dear LORD. The fact that she is even halfway healthy is a miracle and a testament to the 'self-work' she has done in therapy. People who are insensitive or naïve enough to think parents can't ruin their kids' emotional and physical wellbeing need to read this book. It's very full on but it gives a great explanation of how enmeshment and parental abuse work.
I couldn’t wait for the book and downloaded the audiobook as well! It’s devastating
there is a audio book out?
I wish I had got the audiobook but after reading the book it would be kind of hard to listen to, she was super raw and personal about her experiences.
Do you know where I can find or download the audiobook?
So am I. I started listening to it on Audible last night around 11. I stopped at 3 am on chapter 55.
She has grown so much and I am so proud of her. I was very upset when she wasn’t on the icarly reboot but now I am very happy she didn’t for her own sake and mental health
Yes I’m glad she did aswell and so happy for her and it’s a shame Hollywood still does this to children in the industry and nothing will change and it’s a shame. They need to realize that they need to be protected while in the industry because there are more monsters out there hiding between the cracks. And Hollywood doesn’t know about them yet. Just hope the industry can learn from its mistakes.
I don't believe anything she says . She's just needs money an attention
Now remember that humbleness next time you assume something about someone especially someone that you want to do something. Lol
Remember she didn’t take the 300K hush money from the company. She can no longer come back to that company.
I also what to add I hope Hollywood cleans up the act and comes out for being a cult and a mastermind to abuse children. River phoenix killed himself because there was nothing no one that helped him for being abused sexually. So there needs to be something to protect children in the industry. Corey Haim was abused aswel and no one helped and I’m sure other actors and actresses knew what was going on then. Now they are starting to come out like Rose McGowan and others. Because they were hushed to stay quiet.
I just hate to admit that I can relate to her in a way. I hate to admit that I feel her so much.
So you glad your mother died? That awesome
i hope you heal from the things you dont talk about
Same
@@ashkimz are you joking? You never heal
His mother was a vile nasty cow
I get it. I so understand.
My heart goes out to her and anyone who can relate to “motherly” abuse. Your past does not define you. Your future does. You are loved and cared for and wanted. You matter. And I hope everyone heals from their pain and let it go or find peace within yourself for yourself.
It makes sense how she paused on the last question like that, proves that she's never thought of her mom's reaction to what Jennette is like right now. I'm so glad Jennette is at a place in life where she's not pressured to act in front of a camera and be exposed to the public like that.
I love Jennette for being so honest and it's amazing that she's healing a lot because of her book.
“I’m happier now. And I shampoo my own hair” dark! but my goodness, so eloquent. I love her so much.
just finished the book. it was so deep how heavy things were for her so proud of her for choosing her integrity and power. she definitely shined a light at a dark industry even as how she described it it was dark
Does she talk about if she found healthy love and forgiveness for mom?
Someone forcing their child to take showers under their supervision until they are 17 is a different type of evil. the sad thing is, I relate to her experiences a lot as my "mother" is too narcissistic/abusive. I haven't spoken to my "mom" for a year.
I can relate
@@Mrs.Butterworth That but also you’re not considering that while there is a genetic component, it depends on what the person does to prevent it from happening. For example, I am in therapy and have so far been diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. I am not on the spectrum of narcissism like she is. While I do understand that it is her mental illness, she should have gotten help for it instead of dragging her kids through hell. It doesn’t excuse her from what she’s done.
I really enjoyed how much respect this interviewer had for Jennette. He was so sweet and careful with his words. If this was an hour long I would have watched it. I hope they stay in touch he was truly so kind to her.
Great interviewer! Loved how sincerely interested he was in the material and hearing Jennettes perspective. I can’t wait to read this book and hear her story fully through.
Agree with both comments above me! I’ve watched several interviews of Jennette promoting her book, and I found this interviewer’s questions much more thoughtful and compelling, which in turn got us to hear more about her story! Great job to both of them!
@n0body_heartless Will Reeve's parents, Christopher Reeve ( Superman ) passed on in 2004, two years later his mom Dana Reeve passed on in 2006 from lung cancer.
He did an excellent job interviewing her. I don’t know her, But I’m so Proud of her. 🙏🏼
excellent is a stretch. He seemed to only have a surface understanding of her book, but he was better than others for sure.
I'm gonna buy the book😍😍😍 It is very fascinating. I feel for her. Her mother was a straight up toxic and abusive person to her. There were several moments where I was horrified by how her mom treated her. I can't blame her for never wanting to act again. Her heart was never into it. She was living her mother's dream.
I am halfway through it and it is such a page turner. It was so hard to put down and I am trying to finish it tonight. It shows how innocent yet mature she was at such a young age. I am happy she has had so much healing.
You better buy it soon… I hear it’s selling out fast :-/ which is actually a very good thing💕🤩
@@nerdysocks8061 Will do🥰
@@evawertz201 same🙏❤
I'm partway through the audiobook and you're right. Jeanette's mum's whole attitude is very Mama Rose ("I am your mother, therefore I - de facto- ALWAYS know what's best for you." ) The hardest person to battle ,with is someone who, despite being more wrong than either of you could ever imagine, believes they're always 100 percent in the right: they will run rings around you, arguing that black is white all the while. Especially hard when they're your parent/carer and IN CHARGE of you because, then, your inner voice says:: "OK, they're in charge, therefore, they MUST be right."
I got rid of my abusive mother over 4 years ago. I smoked cigarettes for 16 years. For some reason, I quit cigarettes less than a week after getting rid of my mother in my life. Funny how less stress can help your life out.
Wdym? Got rid of your mother
Yikes. You both should've gone to therapy to at least try to save the relationship.
@@soupnfresh keep it to yourself
How did you get rid of her .
When u say u got rid of her....
What a strong human being. Most ppl can't reach that place for decades and miss out on life. Definitely want to read this book now.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clever, polarizing and artistic book cover in a while. Good for her and I hope she’s able to heal and grow more and more!
Someone on Twitter mentioned that it looked like the Dolly Parton Jolene cover. Before that, the book cover reminded me of those 80s or 90s book covers from my childhood.
Her mom was abusing her and it took a lot of courage to write that book and we find out things about her that we never knew. She’s a strong woman who knows what’s next for her.
Someone somewhere is going to read this book and relate to their experience with their mother. They'll know they're not wrong for feeling a certain way after enduring abuse. I wish Jennette a good healing journey and the courage it takes to be honest about experiences as traumatic as these is truly inspiring.
So proud of her, even if she never goes back to acting she'll always have solid supporters like me following her journey and wishing her the happiest life available to her✨🌼
same :)
She's done such an important thing with this book she should be very proud of that. I'm proud of her.
The way this interview ended touched my heart 💗it was so good to see her say she was happier and then how they were laughing
It’s a very sad feeling for anyone on this position. I’m happy she’s healing.
I hope a lot of people buy this book, especially younger people going through what she has gone through. Mental health therapy is something most people are afraid of dealing with, especially younger people and they think drugs are their temporary answer. She shows a better way through a controlling parent.
I grew up my whole life watching her, loving iCarly, following her closely, I saw her episode of Cupcake Wars for her country music album. And knowing that at that time she'd been suffering anorexia, and here she was on Cupcake Wars, promoting something someone expected her to do, eating these desserts that those bakers had made just for her, knowing that she was probably feeling so much guilt if she truly enjoyed having those cakes, it's really hard to think about and to watch that content the same way again. I'm glad that she's a lot more honest and authentic now. Now, she feels a lot more real. I respected her back then, now I'm in my twenties younger than her by only six years, and I respect her a hell of a lot more now.
This interviewer was amazing❤️
Agree 100 percent
she’s so well-spoken and eloquent
I am halfway through the book and her writing is so captivating and the way you see the manipulation in the eyes of a child is so hearbreaking.
I've read some people talk about their abuser dying and feeling like a curse was lifted. Even though Jennette didn't know she was abused, I feel like it happened. She was finally able to understand who she was.
Will - thank you all around. Great interview. Very emotional. It helped me. God bless you with safety as you pursue your career.
“After having achieved the goal we’ve/she had set… she didn’t feel satisfied…” - ouchie. I felt that. Hit waaaay to close to home. 👀
Nuin is never good enough for narcissistic toxic bitches (mom)
Excited to read this and proud of her for all of this. Very scary to come out and share your life in a way that is very real and easily judged. So many people I’ve come across meet parental abuse with “but they love you deep down and you should know that,” some don’t. And it’s okay to make peace with that as an adult so you can move on in life in the healthiest way possible and not repeat the cycle. Family’s unconditional love is not a real thing, it’s a guise for abuse. We all deserve love, but you also need to hold up your end of the deal. Hope her future is bright and free.
What a great interview. I truly value interviews where the questions aren't rude or condendscending but legit curiosity about their subjects!
It's amazing how this young lady is strong and brave enough to share her experiences. I know this is helping other sufferers and that this can help them.
she's so mature and wit and I'm a huge fan!!
Wow great interview...I'm glad she is now free to spread her own wings...God bless
I was immediately unimpressed with the title of her book but decided to pay attention to one of her interviews and oh my gosh...She endured A LOT! I never heard mention of her father, but her mom put her through it, she has no reason to lie, it's the truth. I went through a lot with my mother as well, and can absolutely relate in so many ways. I am so proud of and happy for her for doing this for her younger self and for the woman she is now...Also, for people like me who still do not have the courage to discuss those dark times...Thank you Jennette ♥️♥️
She is so well spoken
What a smart, strong, and inspiring woman! She certainly went through a lot but I am so happy to know that she had the courage to be her own person. I look forward to reading the book and to Jennette's future endeavors. I really hope that she has all the love and support from her friends and family. I may not know her personally, but I feel so proud of the person she has now become! I appreciate this interview. Great job, Will Reeve. 😊
Blood is NOT always thicker than water
That is the truth trust me on that
True, the family is a very complicated unit
McCurdy's character on 'iCarly' (Sam Puckett) was obsessed w/food and had a less-than-ideal mother -- these were recurring comedic elements on the show. One wonders whether this was coincidence or something more, something sinister perhaps...
I heard it was intentional
@@extrashotofespresso_ Who'd you hear that from?
Eery!
Never heard of her but glad she is working through her issues.
Jeanette is not alone. It happens to other girls, too, and it's very confusing and difficult and embarrassing to admit and to deal with, especially as you get older and have kids of your own. I would never do to my daughter what was done to me by my mother. I also developed an eating disorder and addictions from it that took years to work through. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏
The instant that last question was asked about what she would want her Mom to know, I verbally said "oh wow...that's going to be tough to answer" ---and turns out it was. I thought she was going to say "I'll have to get back to you on that one." - but she answered it and her answer was the most simple, yet the most complicated path to arrive at to answer. All respect to this young lady. Now that she's done this hard work of sifting through the rubble and knocking down the walls of her life to understand it, you can sense that she'll be able to achieve any goal or challenge l she decides to pursue. Well done Ms. McCurdy. All the best to you.
I can’t wait to buy this book soon !! Jeanettes bravery is awesome. All women and girls who step up with the truth in the world deserve the utmost respect. She’s so mature and is a great role model for how to carry yourself through life with that attitude. Cool to grow up with her and be that tomboy tough and grow up to understand femininity and maturity alongside that same role model. Love you Jeanette 💖💖💖
icarly was my absolute favorite show growing up it makes me so sad to find out what was going on behind the scenes :(
I’m going to buy the book. 🙏🏼
Will buy the book definitely.
I'm so sorry to hear.. for her.
She's been through ALOT you can tell in her eyes I feel so terrible for her to be very honest yet she is a stronger woman 👠 than people may precieve her as!
Stay sweet stay strong stay 😊 happy
Thank you for writing this book Jennette!
Wow she is just so mature and wise it is beautiful to see this come out of such a tragedy good job Jeanette I am so proud of you and I am so sorry you had to endure all of that by your own Mother's Hands I know exactly how that feels..
Really good questions from Will Reeve.
I feel for her glad she is trying to help others ❤️ praying for her
love that this was a refreshing interview; most I've seen were asking the same repetitive questions designed to get a quick headline. This interviewer def did his research and asked thoughtful questions!
Happy for you, Jennette!
this is an incredible interview
She is so courageous and deserves her happiness.
I love Jennette McCurdy ❤️
love her
amazing interview
la amooo
I’m sooo proud of her. 💕
I want to read this!
I am just so proud of her
I could just tell as the show went on The tone of her voice she was tired of a lot of things and fed up but she definitely made the show better❤️
Una muy buena entrevista, preguntas muy profundas, jennette con una increíble habilidad de habla y una grandiosa historia de superación, estot muy orgullosa y feliz por ella.
You can see this guy did his research with the questions. Bravo!
I want to give her a hug
Iam SO SO PROUD OF HER.
I have yet to find a Disney kid star who is like a happy and well-adjusted adult
She was a Nickelodeon kid but whatever. I think every child actor/star is going to have some sort of trauma story.
I feel the truth in her own words, the experience she went through sounds rough and real, means that she is recovering from years of abuse
Given the fact that McCurdy has spoken about her recovery from eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia), her current appearance is notable. While she may be 'naturally thin', she nonetheless looks emaciated (see recent photos from her Instagram & her recent interviews on GMA and Nightline). McCurdy doesn't seem to have GAINED much weight since the time she was in 'iCarly' and 'Sam & Cat', and in fact, she may be larger/heavier in photographs from that time than she is now. This is not what one might predict for someone who has RECOVERED from eating disorders.
It seems intuitive that many women/girls with anorexia or bulimia will experience a noticeable weight gain after they have recovered. Given the fact that people with such ailments may look to McCurdy's experiences for guidance or support, her current appearance is worthy of discussion. While it is unclear how the interviewer could have broached the topic during this particular interview, one wonders whether he was considering such issues while looking at her.
I noticed how thin she has been looking for a while. Her arms are rail thin.
I read it. It’s very sad. Very funny at times too
Great interview! An insightful guest and a respectful interviewer; it also appears he actually read the book.
Christopher Reed is his father. AKA Superman
@@jayjay85928 Awesome! Thank you for telling me.
She is infectious.. I would love to see her act I think she could become a legend (more so then she already is)
I want to read this book so bad!
Good interview
A definite must get,I'm going to get this.
Where is the audiobook narrated by her? I just love her book so much. Definitely not one I'll soon forget.
Woah this is blowing up😧 the fact that it made ABC news!!! Hope this shines light on Dan Schneider!
Dan Schneider, karma is a bitch!!
It's extremely sad to hear that her mother was pretty much manipulative and using her just to help the family which isn't right. I honestly wish the mother could've got help with whatever she was struggling with because using your own child as a puppet to provide for the family is just evil! She truly ruined her daughter's life just to make money which was clearly the whole point of why she got her into acting in the first place. It wasn't about Jennette making her as an actor to achieve success it was for her mom to make money which was dark. I'm glad she is doing fine now. I can definitely see Jennette becoming an author. The way she talks and expresses herself is beautiful. I hope to see her inspire and touch a lot of people with her book and many others she create. My heart goes out to her❤
She’s a very strong girl.. never was such a fan of her shows or characters but as a person she seems great and didn’t deserve what she was put through with her own mother. 😢
I honestly feel for Jeanette
Because of what I understand her
Your gonna be fine baby you got this kid 🥰
That’s Christopher Reeves’ son interviewing her! I even recognized his dad in him before he said his parents both died young.
I have plans to order and read this book. I just can’t help but feel sorry for Jennette. Her mother was indeed a pain in the ass for forcing her to be famous, not accepting that acting was something that Jennette wanted to pursue all her life. I can’t wait to read it!
She was far more than a pain in the ass. She was abusive to her own daughter in every possible way.
Buy her book support her to be brave and honest
I know some former child actors. They all have almost the exact same story. It's crazy.
This man should actually be fired it’s like writing a book report you know nothing on. He has no idea what she was talking about with the shampoo at the end.
great interviewer and interview!
First off his dad would be so proud of him, he is a great journalist/interviewer. Second I love her so much, she is so brave, I can not wait to read her book.
I think her mom was a narcissist, they know no bounds when it comes to their evil, controlling, depraved souls
SO GOOD
I love you jennete I have trauma two😭❤️
I just realized this is Christopher Reeves son.
It was a great read.
First good interviewer I've seen with her.
Love the cover of her book, confetti coming out of a pink coloured urn holding her moms ashes. How appropriate and so her sense of humour. Love what Jennette is wearing here and her hair. Love her acting and natural candid candor and sweet charming cute charisma. I am so happy she has healed through writing this. May her mom find peace and true happiness on the other side. Narcissistic control/ abuse and bullying is never a loving relationship, I am so thankful that is not my experience with either of my parents or big brother. 😍😘🥰🥹🤩👑💎⚜️✨🌟📚✍🏻🙏🏻📺🏆🤍
