McCurdy’s mother knew how to raise a little actor - she wanted to be one herself - but she was also wildly abusive to her youngest daughter. Her book tells you why, clearly and unflinchingly. McCurdy has denied her own desires and basic needs for so long, admitting the truth must feel like a necessary victory, even if it results in slightly one-upping me about a game I hate. Nothing is so liberating as being able to tell the truth after decades of holding it in. It is indeed a strange admission to deliver in the middle of an interview, but I get it. But I want to be truthful even in something that small.” It’s so small, and so silly, who cares, I won a fucking round of Jackbox, whatever. “I just felt my people-pleasing, agreeable part come out and say that. “I was actually distracted because…I was not bad at it,” she said. But in the middle of talking about her friendship with a former Nickelodeon costar, she stopped herself and looked down at her hands quietly. “Yeah, me too,” she said, and we promptly moved on. The revelation comes a few beats after we talked about the multiplayer video game - I played a few times in the pandemic and told McCurdy that I was pretty terrible at it and lost every round. Jennette McCurdy is, actually, quite good at Jackbox. ![]()
