Jennette McCurdy, who stars on Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, is currently feuding with the network and venting her frustrations on Twitter.
When McCurdy was noticeably absent from the Kids Choice Awards over the weekend, her fans took notice. Looking to clear the air, McCurdy explained her reasons for staying home and forgoing the event.
“I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me,” McCurdy wrote. “I chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what my mom taught me is ALWAYS the most important thing.”
“I want to thank those of you who have reached out with kind words of support, McCurdians and Arianators alike,” the actress added. “No matter who or what you support, I believe in supporting fairness first.”
Immediately, speculation ensued about whether or not McCurdy’s issues with Nickelodeon had to do with the semi-nude pictures that were leaked of her earlier this year. McCurdy quieted those rumors, as did Nickelodeon.
“My previous tweet has nothing to do with pics leaked.oh you guys lol,” she wrote. “It has to do with how nickelodeon treated me. That's all. Thanks for the love.”
Nickelodeon said that “there is no connection” between the pictures and the disagreement and that they “have the utmost respect” for McCurdy to Fox News. However, the network declined to state if the issues arose from contract negotiations involving both McCurdy and her Sam & Cat costar Ariana Grande.
As for rumors that Sam & Cat wouldn’t air a second season, Nickelodeon says that they’re false.
"We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of Sam & Cat, and everyone is understandably tired," the network stated. "We are going into our production hiatus next week which will give everyone on the show a much needed rest.”
Sam & Cat is expected to return to Nickelodeon in the fall.
