Debra forced her into auditioning and acting. She never wanted to be an actress, but she did it for her mom’s happiness. Jennette wrote, “She wanted this. And I wanted her to have it. I wanted her to be happy. But now that I have it, I realize that she’s happy and I’m not. Her happiness came at the cost of mine. I feel robbed and exploited. Sometimes I look at her and I just hate her. And then I hate myself for feeling that.”
Jennette further added,
“I know if my mom were alive, I’d still have an eating disorder. It was only distance from her that allowed me to get healthy.”

While in the set of the iCarly wardrobe fitting, she was photographed in a bikini without her concern.
