On a February 2021 episode of her podcast Empty Inside<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0the iCarly alum\u00a0told guest Anna Faris<\/strong><\/a> that she decided to stop acting a few years back and is now focused on opportunities in writing and directing, in addition to hosting the podcast. <\/p>\n “My experience with acting is, I’m so ashamed of the parts I’ve done in the past,” revealed Jennette, who detailed her experience in her 2022 memoir <\/span>I’m Glad My Mom Died<\/em><\/a>. “I resent my career in a lot of ways. I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most cheesy, embarrassing. I did the shows that I was on from like 13 to 21, and by 15, I was already embarrassed. My friends at 15, they’re not like, ‘Oh, cool, you’re on this Nickelodeon show.’ It was embarrassing.”<\/span><\/p>\n Though she hasn’t totally written off a second act. “I do feel like only through writing the book have I gotten to a place where I think there might be a way of exploring acting that doesn’t carry that baggage that I carried with me for so long,” she told E! News in October 2022. “Maybe if I write something for myself. I think that’d really be maybe one of the only ways I could kind of try exploring it again.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
