Jennette McCurdy‘s new memoir sheds light on how a man at Nickelodeon called “The Creator” forced her to drink alcohol when she was underage and gave her massages. She also gave details about how Nickelodeon offered her
$300,000 to stay quiet about her experiences with “The Creator”.
Her memoir does not mention the name of The Creator. However, Dan
was the man behind iCarly, and ViacomCBS investigated him before he departed from
Nickelodeon in
2018.
McCurdy said that “The Creator” was a two-faced man who sometimes complimented people and was generous. The other times he was mean-spirited and terrifying. She alleged that his degradation and insults could make grown women and men cry.
Eventually, The Creator faced the consequences of his actions, but McCurdy points out how she was offered hush money that she declined to accept. She mentioned in her memoir how she was surprised that Nickelodeon offered her money to keep mum about the abuse that The Creator brought about on her.
She added that she thought there should have been some ethical standard and a moral compass at Nickelodeon.
Turned McCurdy’s promised spinoff of iCarly into Sam & Cat, where Ariana Grande was allowed to work outside the show, but McCurdy was not.
McCurdy recalled how she “broke” when Ariana came about whistling and was happy and excited because she had played charades the previous night at Tom Hanks’s house.
She also detailed other incidents working at Nickelodeon, such as when she was embarrassed because someone pictured her in a bikini during a wardrobe fitting.
She discussed the incidents with her mother, and her mother asked her to deal with them as others would want what she already had.
