Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy claims mom gave her showers until she was 18, made her ‘uncomfortable’
Fox News
Former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy, who wrote the best-selling memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died," shared insight on life with her in a new interview.
McCurdy spoke about how her mother would shower her until she was 17 or 18 and would "be in the shower with me shampooing and conditioning my hair, washing my body."
"She would give me breast and vaginal exams in the shower and said that she was checking for lumps, just checking for cancer," the now 31-year-old recalled.
She noted her mother would be clothed, "but it was uncomfortable for me. I knew it felt violating for me. And I knew I didn't want it, but the one time I had attempted to even say, ‘Hey, do you think I could shower myself?’ She flew into hysterics, and it just became clear to me, 'Oh, I can't ever try to shower myself again.’"
