The Jennette McCurdy memoir memes gained traction following the 2022 release of her autobiography, 'I'm Glad My Mom Died.' The book detailed her experiences as a child star on Nickelodeon, including disturbing allegations against a figure referred to as 'The Creator,' who the public widely associated with producer Dan Schneider. These memes typically juxtapose the lighthearted, wacky nature of shows like iCarly and Sam & Cat with the heavy, toxic reality described in the memoir. They are used by fans to express shock, support for McCurdy, and a collective sense of disillusionment regarding the entertainment industry's treatment of child actors during the 2000s and 2010s.
