Jenette McCurdy

I'm so happy to be here, truly.

Like, this is amazing.

Thank you very much.

I have been scared of that.

There have been a few times when I've done some press that shall not be named where it's so bizarre because I'm like hearing the pre-roll of, you know, they show like the clip of me from the past or whatever, and it's so dramatic.

It's like, McCurdy vanished from the spotlight after her traumatic childhood with the trauma and the devastation.

It's like, geez, can we calm down?

And then I'm like walked out to this, you know, to this like cold domineering kind of set.

And then there's the journalist and there's three inches of makeup on the guy's face.

And it's just like, you know, it does feel kind of, it feels easy to lose sight of reality in these environments.

And so I really try to keep myself grounded and stay on top of therapy and being in touch with things that really are good touchstones and grounding tools for me, because I do not want to get lost in it.

But also I will say I trust that I won't.

I don't think I had the tools before to not get lost in it and to not feel sort of caught up in the whirlwind of showbiz.

But now I feel like, you know what, there are some elements that are really cool about it, like this, and then there are some that aren't, and that's fine.

I can use my own discernment and

and just be grateful for the good experiences.
