Children's TV network Nickelodeon has come under fire in recent weeks for its alleged mistreatment of Jennette McCurdy, as well as her "Sam & Cat" co-star Ariana Grande.
Following the bombshell release of McCurdy's new memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died" — in which the author details the abuse she allegedly suffered while working for Nickelodeon — many on social media have turned a critical eye on footage of a young Grande in character as Cat Valentine.
Fans have accused the network of sexualizing and infantilizing Grande onscreen. As a teen, the actor and pop musician played the bubbly, spacey Cat on Nickelodeon's "Victorious," as well as "Sam & Cat."
