Popular American actress and Nickelodeon star, Jennette McCurdy has revealed she was showered by her late mother until she turned ’17 or 18′.
The former child actress, who is now 31, claimed that she never showered alone until her late mother, Debra, started battling cancer and passed away at age 56 in 2013.
Speaking on the Louis Theroux Podcast, Jennette disclosed that her mother would stay clothed while ‘shampooing and conditioning’ her hair and ‘washing her body’.
She added that her mother would also examine her breasts and private parts for signs of lumps or infection.
‘She would give me breast and vaginal exams in the shower and said that she was checking for lumps – she was just checking for cancer.’
Jennette described the experience as “uncomfortable,” but said her mother became “hysterical” when she complained about it.
This is not the first time the thespian is making disturbing claims about her mother. In September 2022, she revealed that her mother forced her and her older brothers to shower together until she was 11.
When her brother suggested showering alone, their mother reportedly broke down in tears and said she didn’t want him to ‘grow up’ so he never mentioned it again.
