Jennette McCurdy candidly opens up about her dislike for Ariana Grande in her new memoir.

The claws of “Sam & Cat” are out.

Jennette McCurdy says her dislike for Ariana Grande started shortly after they started filming their Nickelodeon show when she realized the pop star had been given permission to pursue outside opportunities.

“I booked two feature films during ‘iCarly’ that I had to turn down because the ‘iCarly’ team wouldn’t write me out of episodes to start filming them,” McCurdy writes in her new memoir: “I’m glad my mom died” , claiming that producers would box Grande’s character so she could miss filming.

“Are you. I’m kidding,” McCurdy recalls. “So I have to turn down movies when Ariana isn’t on the whistleblower at the Billboard Music Awards? F–k. This one.”

The 30-year-old ‘Best Player’ actress admitted that when Grande, 29, was allowed to stop filming, she snapped.

“I’m pissed about it. I’m mad at her. Jealous of her. For a few reasons,” she writes. “So now, every time she misses work, it feels like a personal attack. … From that moment on I didn’t like her anymore. I couldn’t like her.”

The Nickelodeon alum describes her difficult life in “I’m Glad My Mom Died.”
“iCarly” ended its original run in 2012, and “Sam & Cat” only ran for one season from 2013 to 2014.

A Nickelodeon representative never responded to Page Six’s request for comment.

Grande has not publicly commented on the excerpts from McCurdy’s memoir.
