Nickelodeon stars including Jennette McCurdy, Kenan Thompson, Ariana Grande and more have been outspoken about working at the network — what they've said
Over the years, former Nickelodeon stars have opened up about their journey as child actors at the network — and not everyone had the same experience.“I did the shows that I was on from like 13 to 21, and by 15, I was already embarrassed. My friends at 15 weren’t like, ‘Oh, cool, you’re on this Nickelodeon show.’ It,” the actress, who played Sam Puckett, admitted during an episode of her “Empty Inside” podcast in March 2021.
"It's a difficult thing to say because the shows that I was on were so loved by so many people and so many kids. I hear constantly that, 'You made my childhood,' and I think it's great that they had that experience but that just was not my experience," she explained on her"Empty Inside" podcast in 2021."It just was hellish, I think, is not too intense of a word. Nobody really knew me. I was very different from the character I was playing.
"Clarissa taught me a lot — if she could stand up to a bully or date the bully, break boundaries and stand up for what she believed in and be smart, sassy, and likable, then I could be those things too," the New York native toldin 2016.
