On a February 2021 episode of her podcast Empty Inside, the iCarly alum informed visitor Anna Faris that she chose to stop acting a couple of years back and is now concentrated on chances in composing and directing, in addition to hosting the podcast.
“My experience with acting is, I’m so ashamed of the parts I’ve done in the past,” exposed Jennette, who detailed her experience in her 2022 narrative I’m Glad My Mom Died “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.”
Though she hasn’t completely crossed out a 2nd 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 informed E! News in October2022 “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.”
