Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy doesn't consider herself to be a "role model"... at least not anymore, E! News reports. The 22-year-old actress went on a lengthy rant via Reddit on Thursday, July 24 and asked fans not to look up to her because she doesn't want that pressure.
"I am not a role model. I don't claim to be, I don't try to be, and I don't want to be. There was a time when I tried to live up to the aggrandizing title, that pedestal of a thing. Maybe it wasn't so much that I was trying to live up to it," McCurdy wrote. "Perhaps I thought I could and I thought I was supposed to, so I gave it my best shot."
"It's fine, I can admit it. Back in my adolescence, I was more amiable, bubbly, and on lightly humid days, maybe even flouncy," McCurdy continued. "I was role model material and then some."
The former "Sam & Cat" star said she has done "a bit" of growing up since then and admits that while she "might not be any wiser," she does believe she's a lot more honest with herself... and apparently her fans.
