Jennette McCurdy is detailing early moments of her life, as well as the last conversation she had with her mother, Debra. The "iCarly" star, who is promoting her book "I'm Glad My Mom Died," appeared on Wednesday's episode of "Red Table Talk" and detailed the abuse she received from her mother to Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Norris. "With moms, there seems to be a need to keep them up on a pedestal," McCurdy shared with the group. "And I had my mom on that pedestal, and it was really detrimental to my mental health."

McCurdy shared that their house had a rat and possum problem due to her mother’s hoarding habits. "I remember a time when [my brothers] Marcus, Dustin and Scott slept in their trundle bunk bed and I slept in my nursery, but now our bedrooms are so filled with stuff that you can’t even determine where the beds are let alone sleep in them," she read from her book. "We don’t sleep in our beds anymore.Trifold mats were purchased from Costco for us to sleep on in the living room.

I’m pretty sure the mats were meant for kids’ gymnastics exercises." Jennette McCurdy detailed the horrific things her mother said to her in her book "I'm Glad My Mom Died" and shared them again on the "Red Table Talk" program.
