'iCarly' alum Jennette McCurdy alleges Nickelodeon offered her hush money

Former child star Jennette McCurdy pulled back the curtain on her frustrating and unsettling experiences working for an allegedly inappropriate man at Nickelodeon whom she refers to only as "the Creator" in her forthcoming memoir.

The "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat" alum details the allegations in "I'm Glad My Mom Died," which delves into her work, eating disorder and fraught relationship with her mother (who, she says, "taught" her said eating disorder at age 11). Simon & Schuster will publish the intimate memoir Tuesday.

But an excerpt published Friday by Vanity Fair (and also reviewed by the Los Angeles Times) shares her account about "the Creator," who she claims pressured her to drink while underage and massaged her while making promises about her show.
