Debra McCurdy cause of death: What happened to Jennette McCurdy’s mother?

McCurdy’s late mother Debra was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just three years old.

She had to endure scores of chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and surgeries just to survive and take care of her daughter.

The cancer receded after a while but resurfaced again in 2010. She battled with it for 3 years and finally succumbed to it in 2013. McCurdy was 21 years old when she passed away.

McCurdy has alleged that her mother subjected her to both mental and sexual abuse. She claims that when she was 6 years old, her mother encouraged her to pursue acting because she wanted to be a performer herself and to help support the family financially.

She further disclosed that up to the age of 16, her mother regularly examined her breasts and vagina and never let her take a shower by herself.

In her biography, I’m Glad My Mom Died, iCarly co-creator Jennette McCurdy called her mother’s harsh and overbearing influence “the heartbeat of my life.”

Because the iCarly revival brought back memories of abuse from the first series, she declined to participate. She also said that she only appeared on Sam & Cat to appease her mother.

She claims that because her Coogan account wasn’t properly filed, she didn’t collect the full amount of her money from masquerading as a child.

Later, Nickelodeon made her a $300,000 deal to promise not to talk about her time working there, but she declined.
