Jennette McCurdy, made a lasting impact on Nickelodeon for her portrayal of the sassy, fun and lovable character Sam Puckett. But while Jennette was lighting up TV screens across the globe, her own homelife was far from glamorous. This week we dive into Jennette's abusive relationship with her mother, we cover how Jennette started acting, her difficulty battling an eating disorder, and her best-seller memoir titled 'I'm Glad My Mom Died'.
