On
a
February
2021
episode
of
her
podcast
Empty
Inside, the
iCarly
alum told
guest
Anna
Faris
that
she
decided
to
stop
acting
a
few
years
back
and
is
now
focused
on
opportunities
in
writing
and
directing,
in
addition
to
hosting
the
podcast.
“My
experience
with
acting
is,
I’m
so
ashamed
of
the
parts
I’ve
done
in
the
past,”
revealed
Jennette,
who
detailed
her
experience
in
her
2022
memoir
I’m
Glad
My
Mom
Died. “I
resent
my
career
in
a
lot
of
ways.
I
feel
so
unfulfilled
by
the
roles
that
I
played
and
felt
like
it
was
the
most
cheesy,
embarrassing.
I
did
the
shows
that
I
was
on
from
like
13
to
21,
and
by
15,
I
was
already
embarrassed.
My
friends
at
15,
they’re
not
like, ‘Oh,
cool,
you’re
on
this
Nickelodeon
show.’
It
was
embarrassing.”
Though
she
hasn’t
totally
written
off
a
second
act. “I
do
feel
like
only
through
writing
the
book
have
I
gotten
to
a
place
where
I
think
there
might
be
a
way
of
exploring
acting
that
doesn’t
carry
that
baggage
that
I
carried
with
me
for
so
long,”
she
told
E!
News
in
October
2022. “Maybe
if
I
write
something
for
myself.
I
think
that’d
really
be
maybe
one
of
the
only
ways
I
could
kind
of
try
exploring
it
again.”
