Jennette McCurdy Leaked `Naked’ Selfies Heat Up Money Talks At `Sam & Cat’

Jennette McCurdy Leaked Pictures 2014: Jennette McCurdy, iCarly star's leaked "naked" selfies hit the internet last month erupting in a viral feeding media feeding frenzy. The Jennette McCurdy lingerie shots put her show "Sam & Cat," a show spun off from Nickelodeon's "iCarly," on hiatus.

When Jennette McCurdy was absent from the Kids' Choice Awards and her comedy went on hiatus unexpectedly, the media assumed it was because of the hot shots, but then came rumors that McCurdy was in a pay battle.

Then Jennette McCurdy got super busy lately. She recorded with her 'Sam & Cat'' costar Ariana Grande, she recorded on her own, she made cryptic Twitter messages about how she was unhappy with Nickelodeon was treating her. She was under a different magnifying glass. Today, Jennette McCurdy dyes her hair brown, surely that a sign she's moving on from Sam & Cat's hiatus and the sexy selfie leak, or did she just want to change hair?

In spite of speculation that racy photos of Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy were behind the hiatus of the show, a network rep says that the two are unrelated.

Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande's Sam and Cat is one of Nickelodeon's top shows. It tells the stories of Sam Puckett (played by Jennette McCurdy) and Cat Valentine (played by Ariana Grande), roommates who run a babysitting service. The two characters were taken from previous Nick shows, iCarly and Victorious.

Jennette McCurdy didn't show up for at The Kids Choice Awards while Ariana Grande, who has been flying high with a solo music career, nabbed the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite TV Actress, while "Sam & Cat" picked up the award for Favorite TV Show. Immediately there rumors that Grande and McCurdy  were involved in a feud.

Jennette McCurdy was livid after someone leaked sexy lingerie selfies on the Internet on March 3, at first blaming her boyfriend, 20-year-old Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond. Andre Drummond says he had nothing to do with the Jennette McCurdy lingerie shots. It came out that the anger was over salary parity. McCurdy tweeted  that her issue with was with Nickelodeon and it came out that she's not paid nearly as much as her co-star Ariana Grande.

Ariana Grande responded on Twitter saying "I hate addressing rumors and I hate gossip but this is really bothering me. Jennette and I agreed upfront that we would be treated equally on this show in all regards (as we should be, considering we each work just as hard as the other on this show). The rumors circulating about our contracts and our salary not being equal are absolutely ridiculous and false. I don't know who's putting these idiotic quotes out there but I thought I'd straighten it out and try to end this nonsense."

McCurdy recently revealed that she did not want to continue playing the role of Sam Puckett after iCarly ended. She said "I did not want to play Sam anymore--I was over it. I'm sarcastic and blunt enough in real life that I wanted to do something different."

SiriusXM radio personality Cristina Palumbo says McCurdy's naked selfies could help her on her way, "Every star that has done this has been handsomely rewarded in the long run as far as fame is concerned. It can't hurt her. I don't think anything can hurt you nowadays."
