Former iCarly co-stars Jennette McCurdy and Miranda Cosgrove have ventured down different paths in life in the years since they were former child stars on Nickelodeon, but there’s still nothing but love between the pair. In her new memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, McCurdy describes the misconduct she endured from “The Creator,” referring to the person who created iCarly and its spinoff Sam & Cat. She claims to have turned down $300,000 to stay silent over what she experienced.

With this in mind, it’s not hard to understand why McCurdy was not interested in joining Cosgrove for the iCarly revival series on Paramount+. But that’s not to say there’s anything personal between McCurdy and Cosgrove, as the two remain friends. In promotion of her book, McCurdy took part in an interview for Entertainment Tonight, and here’s what she had to say when asked about her relationship with Cosgrove.

McCurdy explains that she had been inseparable from Cosgrove for many years, though they don’t speak quite as frequently these days as they’ve pursued different creative endeavors. According to McCurdy, Cosgrove had just recently gotten in touch to let her know that she’s excited to read the book.

Jennette McCurdy Might Return to Acting, But Not for iCarly

Miranda Cosgrove was joined by Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress for the iCarly reboot on Paramount+, and while there were efforts made to get Jennette McCurdy involved, that did not happen. McCurdy has since stepped back from acting and wasn’t interested in coming back for the new iCarly, though she tells ET that she’s now considering a return to performing on-screen. The caveat is that it will have to be a project that just feels right.

While “The Creator” is not involved with the reboot of iCarly, McCurdy still has no interest whatsoever in revisiting that world. She says that her mental health is of top priority when it comes to deciding which projects to pursue, and something like revisiting a series she had such a negative experience with behind the scenes would probably not be a good idea. When McCurdy was asked if she was happy with turning down iCarly, she said:

I’m Glad My Mom Died is now available where books are sold.
