Jennette's Comment about the Cancellation

So why was S&C cancelled? Because she never addressed that. When the show first started people knew Jennette and Ariana were pushing the age limit. Heck I joked about there only being a single season from the beginning. I and others never thought the show would continue, never wanted it to continue, and were actually annoyed when Nick hinted it might. Except S&C didn't just end. It was cancelled with four episodes left in the production order and Jennette's post fails to explain that.

That is not an explanation. That's also not the only thing Jennette put out there. Seven days after S&C got cancelled, Jennette finally put this out and it seems like a nameless inside source might have been right about what Jennette meant about feeling disrespected by Nick and what she was told. Someone on twitter posted a link that is no longer available where a source claimed that Nick execs called a meeting with Jennette and Dan Schneider. At this meeting, Nick practically accused Jennette of being careless about the pictures and if she didn't realize that many kids see her as a role model. Jennette was said to have also fought back by saying that she didn't see herself as a role model and that no one should be seeing her as one. Lots of harsh things were exchanged and it was not said what more was discussed. Schneider was mainly there acting like a piece keeper between the two. Jennette was said to have left the meeting feeling betrayed and disrespected. she mentioned being disrespected right after the KCAs aired.

Anyway here is the "rant" she put out Thursday via reddit:

"I am not a role model. I don't claim to be, I don't try to be, and I don't want to be. There was a time when I tried to live up to the aggrandizing title, that pedestal of a thing. Maybe it wasn't so much that I was trying to live up to it," she wrote. "Perhaps I thought I could and I thought I was supposed to, so I gave it my best shot."

"Back in my adolescence, I was more amiable, bubbly, and on lightly humid days, maybe even flouncy," the 22-year-old vented. "I was role model material and then some."

"I might not be any wiser," she admitted, "but I like to think I'm more honest."

"With the growing I've done, I realize that to attempt to live up to the idea of being a role model is to set myself up for foregone failure. Sure, I've made some mistakes, but even if I hadn't, people would have found invisible ones. This world is one seemingly most keen on judgment and negativity, despite all the hearts and smiley emoticons," McCurdy said. "To remove myself from the role model battle, the falsified standard set by the bubblegum industry, is - in my eyes - to remove myself from the counterintuitive battle of attempting to be something perfect while being glaringly aware of my imperfections."

"I still love a cute dress, a good pop song, and a vanilla-scented candle," the Long Beach, Calif., native explained. "But these things don't define me or determine that I am any kind of a role model. What defines a person as a role model is the way they live their life. And no offense, but none of you know how I live my life."

"Now before you start thinking I'm some sort of derelict that leads a life of crime, let me clarify. I am proud of the way I live my life. I am proud of my choices. I am proud that no one can call me fake or say I don't stand up for myself. I am proud that my friends and family would say that I'm a good person," McCurdy wrote. "But in order to be thought of as a real, true role model, I believe you have to know a person and their actions, inside and out."

"Calling a celebrity a role model is like calling a stranger a role model. The knowledge you have of a celebrity is no more than a caricature drawn by media tastemakers specializing in selling you an image you're dying to buy. It's good to have heroes, but you have to look for them in the right places," she wrote. "They say don't look for true love in a bar, well I say, don't look for role models on screens."

"For those of you who do consider me a role model, I hope you don't read this and cringe. I appreciate you. I appreciate you so much! I appreciate that you believe in me, support me, and in some way, hope to live your life like me," the "Generation Love" singer wrote in her conclusion. "But please, I encourage you to find role models in the people around you, the people in your everyday life, the people that are your friends and family," McCurdy pleaded. "I encourage you to base your idea of a role model off of someone you know well enough to see purely, not in the light, cameras, and actions of Hollywood."


That's it. Some time after that she put up a selfie of herself wearing underwear and braless. No there was no nudity, she was wearing a tiny top. She captioned it with the hashtags...."#nofilter #datass #fapfapfap #eww #boysaregross."

Really Jennette fapfapfap? Yep you really don't want to be a role model.

Such a liar she is.

I love that she remains defiant. Such a breath of fresh air from the industry.

"The reason Sam & Cat ended was because of adults being stuffed into cookie cutter kids' network characters created for tweens."

So basically she's saying that she and/or Ariana wanted to do more mature roles? I find that highly unlikely as the reason the show was cancelled. But I guess anything is possible.

I think the cancellation was caused by Ariana's music career. Perhaps she felt the kids show didn't fit in with her new pop star image, in which case Jennette is correct. She knows more about it than I so I guess I should trust her.

"Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the antidote to shame."

It was cancelled because it was receiving poor ratings, which is the reason that most shows get cancelled.

Aside from Victorious, which never had bad ratings, but was cancelled, anyway, because Ariana Grande wanted to have her own show.

Good to see that Vic is still getting good roles, though - the lead in two upcoming movies and her own TV show. I just wish that she was able to record her debut album and release it, because I really want to hear what Vic has compiled. I'm sure it'd be amazing.

Wow, I can't believe that no one has posted the last thing Jennette stated about why the show was canceled. I can't remember the words exactly and you can look it up online, just look for it. But Jennette came out and stated that reason why the show was cancelled was basically because things just got too much for her.

No it wasn't a feud with Ariana and it wasn't the racy pics or salary disputes. The photos played a little in but it was mostly taking its toll on Jennette from within. When her mom died it also messed her up a little more inside. Instead of grieving she went right back to work 6 days after her mom passed away. she tried to keep it bottled up but it effected her. So her mom's death along with other things effecting her screwed her up. she stated "I felt like it would've done so much if somebody would've just f--king - sorry," McCurdy told Vulture. "It would've done so much if somebody would've just given me a hug. And I hope that that's something I can take with myself and acknowledge when somebody else is having a really hard time, that sometimes it's like, give a person a break, you know?"

So I'm only guessing that Nick only gave her 6 days to mourn and that she probably requested some more time off and Nick refused. Not only that but a source on the set said that tensions were high between many people. It was something like you work with these people every day and night and you never take a break away from them. they are not you're true friends or you're family. sometimes you just need to get away. Only just when it seemed like a break was coming, Nick kept pushing more episodes on the cast and crew and this kept causing tensions among everyone. So Jennette had enough and walked.
