Former actress Jennette McCurdy opens up about her career
Thus far, Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande both came to be familiar faces on the popular sitcom Sam and Cat. But, the two have had a tremendous difference in their experience on set.
Right now, Jennette McCurdy revealed that she was incredibly jealous of Ariana Grande because of where her career is at and how much she got away with when filming for Sam and Cat.
In her memoir called “I’m Glad My Mom Is Dead”, Jennette McCurdy shared that Ariana Grande frequently missed filming the tv show Sam and Cat.
“The week where I was told Ariana would not be here at all, and that they would write around her absence this episode by having her character be locked in a box. Are you. Kidding me,”
Adding to her disappointment, Jennette McCurdy shared that she had to turn down two feature films. Since Nickelodeon wouldn’t let her film while Ariana Grande was out.
The former actress shared that if she didn’t turn down the films she was offered, perhaps her life would be a lot different. Adding that Ariana Grande’s career was progressing while hers remained stagnant.
To date, the actress revealed that she often “fantasized” about her life be different if she hadn’t been such a good sport. The former actress added that she resented “being a good sport”.
“This is what it is. Ariana misses work in pursuit of her music career while I act with a box. I’m pissed about it. And I’m pissed at her. Jealous of her.”
Jennette revealed she is triggered every time something exciting happens in Ariana Grande’s career
But, McCurdy shared that it was a moment in which she decided enough was enough. She explained the way Ariana Grande didn’t try to hide her success and shared that she was at Tom Hanks to play a family game.
“Ariana came whistle-toning in with excitement because she had spent the previous evening playing charades at Tom Hanks’s house. That was the moment I broke. I couldn’t take it anymore.”

So far, the actress expressed that Ariana Grande robbed her of success and is reminded of it whenever something exciting happens in her career.
“So now, every time she misses work, it feels like a personal attack. Every time something exciting happens to her, I feel like she robbed me of having that experience myself.”
