iCarly Star Jennette McCurdy Probably Won't Be Back For the Reboot
Celebrities

Jeanette McCurdy famously swore off her Nickelodeon past, once writing on her personal website that acting on the network induced “psychological trauma in her.” In an essay for Huffpost, she also wrote that “There was something about the shallowness of my success that made me resent it,” and exacerbated her struggle with disordered eating.” Now, she’s made it clear she most likely won’t be back for the iCarly reboot.
The topic once again came up on her podcast Empty Inside’s most recent episode, with guest Anna Farris. “I resent my career in a lot of ways,” she revealed. “I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most cheesy, embarrassing.” She goes on to discuss how her family’s lack of money as a child is what propelled her into acting, but that it was “difficult” for her, and eventually quit acting to focus on directing: “It’s going great.”
