Before Jennette McCurdy decided to air out all of her personal struggles with the release of her memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died," fans would have thought that she and her co-star, Ariana Grande, were thick as thieves. McCurdy and Grande were very close friends. After officially meeting when their two hit TV series crossed over in 2009, the pair became instant friends as they starred alongside one another in "Sam & Cat."
However, McCurdy was thrilled when "Sam & Cat" was canceled, and fans were shocked to learn that her relationship with Grande wasn't as picture perfect as they thought. McCurdy wrote in her memoir that Grande was treated differently and given more leeway when it came to pursuing her dreams. While McCurdy was forced to turn down opportunities while filming "Sam & Cat," Grande got to live out her passions without any fuss from production. There was one moment in particular that changed McCurdy's view of Grande altogether: when Grande got to meet Tom Hanks. "Ariana came whistle-toning in with excitement because she had spent the previous evening playing charades at Tom Hanks' house," McCurdy wrote in her book. "That was the moment I broke. I couldn't take it anymore. Music performances and magazine covers... whatever, I'll get over it. But playing a family game at National Treasure, two-time Academy Award–winner and six-time nominee Tom Hanks' house? I'm done."
