Quote:Former iCarly star Jennette McCurdy has made significant allegations against Nickelodeon, ranging from not being allowed the same privileges as her Sam & Cat co-star Ariana Grande to a "gift" of $300,000 if she agreed to never speak out about her experiences at the famed children's network.

An excerpt published by Vanity Fair from McCurdy's new memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, went into detail of McCurdy's experience as a rising TV star. An unnamed man, referred to as "the Creator," allegedly pressured McCurdy to drink while underage, and gave her massages. While "the Creator" is not named in the book, iCarly was notoriously the brainchild of Dan Schneider, who was investigated by ViacomCBS prior to his 2018 departure from Nickelodeon.

McCurdy alleged "the Creator" had a two-face personality that included a "generous and over-the-top complimentary" side, as well as a “mean-spirited, controlling, and terrifying” one that could make “grown men and women cry with his insults and degradation.”
