I'm Glad My Mom Died
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy is a frank memoir detailing the author's harrowing experiences as a child actor subjected to intense exploitation and abuse by her mother and figures within the television industry.
Discussed“She published a memoir in 2022 titled, "I'm glad my mother's dead," and there's not some ironic twist to that title, like it's exactly what you think, or it sounds like she was glad her mother's dead, in part because her mother pushed her into acting and basically set her up to be exposed to the stuff she was exposed”
