Jennette McCurdycontinues to speak out about the abuse she endured from her mother, Debbie, growing up.
McCurdy opened up about the"decades of torment, exploitation and manipulation"toRed Table Talkco-hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield Norris in a new episode of the Facebook Watch series.
While promoting her new book,I’m Glad My Mom Died, McCurdy shared a disturbing email she received from Debbie, who died of cancer in 2013.
“I am so disappointed in you,” the email began. Debbie proceeded to verbally abuse and insult her daughter—in all caps, McCurdy emphasizes—over a picture that appeared on TMZ’s website.
“You used to be my perfect little angel, but now you are nothing more than a little slut, a floozy, all used up. And to think you wasted it on that hideous ogre of a man. I saw the pictures on a website called TMZ. I saw you rubbing his disgusting hairy stomach.”

Sick! I raised you better than this.”
“What happened to my good little girl?” Debbie asked. “Where did she go and who is this monster that has replaced her? You’re an ugly monster now. I told your brothers about you, and they all said they disown you just like I do. We want nothing to do with you.”
McCurdy’s Mom Encouraged Eating Disorders: ‘You Look Pudgier’
McCurdy, now 30, has been open about her struggles with eating disorders and how Debbie encouraged them. The email, which also appears in the former actress' memoir, shows a brutal example.
After finding out her daughter had lied about her whereabouts, Debbie wrote, “I knew you were lying about Colton. Add that to a list of things you are: liar, conniving, evil. You look pudgier, too. It’s clear you’re eating your guilt.”
The email ends on a note that’s just as cruel as the rest of the message, with her mother writing:
“Love, Mom—or should I say Deb since I am no longer your mother? P.S. Send money for a new fridge; ours broke.”
