Jennette McCurdy celebrated her memoir 'I’m Glad My Mom Died' staying on the 'New York Times' best seller list for 80 weeks with a confetti cannon—but it didn't go quite like she planned.

Writer and former Nickelodeon child star Jennette McCurdy had plenty to celebrate over the weekend, but that doesn't mean she was in any way ready for it.

McCurdy took to social media with a confetti cannon in hand to celebrate the 80th week her memoir about her abusive mother, I'm Glad My Mom Died, appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List.


But McCurdy's fear of loud noises definitely got the best of her—and her reaction to the confetti cannon's pop was one for the ages.


@jennettemccurdy

thank you for making igmmd a nyt bestseller for 80 weeks. and still the #1 audiobook 🙏 i’m celebrating

The video starts off normal enough, with McCurdy sitting in front of a giant 80 to mark the occasion. But it quickly goes sideways.

Gingerly holding the confetti cannon aloft and struggling to break it open, she says:

"I’m scared... Ahhh, fu*k, I’m scared, OK? Fu*k, I hate
 This is a bad idea, I hate loud noises!

Boy was she not kidding! When the confetti cannon finally went off, McCurdy let out a bone-chilling shriek and held her ears as if the entire room had just exploded.

Thankfully, McCurdy herself couldn't help but laugh as the confetti began raining down around her.

She said:

“I can hardly breathe, oh my god, that was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.”

She then quipped, "“that’s what my next memoir’s about!”

And judging from the social media response, McCurdy's tome about the terrors of confetti cannons will also be a best seller because her shriek definitely made an impression.









Let's hope when her memoir about the terrors of confetti cannons does even better than I'm Glad My Mom Died, they can just give her, like, a kazoo or something to celebrate. She's been through enough!

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
