Jennette McCurdy shared a disturbing email from her abusive late mother, Debbie McCurdy, during her “Red Table Talk” debut.
The 30-year-old actress read the message aloud to the co-hosts of the Facebook Watch show, Adrienne Banfield Norris, Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith, as she discussed her new memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died.” .
“I’m so disappointed in you,” Debbie began on the email, which was also included in the book.
“You used to be my perfect little angel, but now you’re nothing more than a little … slut, a jerk, all over,” Jennette read in People’s sneak peek of the upcoming episode, noting that her mom “all caps” used. for the insults.
Debbie criticized the “iCarly” alum for being with a “horrible ogre of a man” and “rubbing his disgusting hairy belly” on a “website called TMZ”.
After calling Jennette a “sly, evil… liar,” Debbie went on to write, “You look chubby too. Obviously you are eating your guilt. Thinking about you with his ding dong inside makes me nauseous. sick! I raised you better than this.”
Debbie asked where her ‘good little girl’ had gone and added: ‘Where has she gone and who is this monster that replaced her? You’re an ugly monster now. I told your brothers about you, and they all said they rejected you, just like me. We don’t want anything to do with you.”
The email concluded: “PS Send money for a new refrigerator; ours is broken.”
As Smith, 21, said, “Wow,” McCurdy laughed at the end of the message.
“The PS gets me,” said the “Sam & Cat” alum.
The mother-daughter couple had been estranged by the time Debbie died in 2013. Seven years later, the former Nickelodeon star performed in Los Angeles and New York.
In interviews promoting her book of the same name, published in August, McCurdy spoke candidly about the eating disorders she struggled with when her mother weighed her, measured her thighs and counted her calories.
“Grief for me towards my mother used to be very complicated,” the singer said on Good Morning America last month, explaining that writing the book played a huge part in her “healing” journey.
“I felt like she didn’t deserve my tears and my grief since she was abusive, but it simplified in a very relieving way and now I feel like I can just miss her,” she said.
McCurdy’s episode “Red Table Talk” premieres Wednesday.
