'Sam & Cat' Put on Permanent Hiatus By Nickelodeon

The drama behind the scenes of Nickelodeon series Sam & Cat is not dying down anytime soon.

In fact, the future of the series is now in question following the actions of a disgruntled Jennette McCurdy.

Deadline reports that the series has been placed on a "permanent hiatus" by Nickelodeon with many of the crew being let go.

McCurdy publicly accused grancekcaNickelodeon of unfair treatment. She also fueled speculation about a rift with longtime best friend Grande by un-following Grande on social media and not joining her co-star at Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards, where both were nominated for favorite TV actress.

McCurdy took to Twitter to explain her absence from the awards show, which she had been scheduled to attend. “I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me,” she wrote. “I chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what my mom taught me is ALWAYS the most important thing. I want to thank those of you who have reached out with kind words of support, McCurdians and Arianators alike. No matter who or what you support, I believe in supporting fairness first.” She later clarified her decision to boycott the awards had nothing to do with the release of the photos. “It has to do with how Nickelodeon treated me,” she said. “That’s all.”

TMZ reports that the behind the scenes drama is all about money, with McCurdy unhappy that Ariana Grande is making more than she is.

Jennette claims that the rift with the network has nothing to do with the racy photos of herself that recently leaked on the internet.
