I might be a little late to the party on this one, but apparently Jennette McCurdy (the one on iCarly who wasn’t iCarly?) had some pictures of her in lingerie leak onto the web yesterday. Which, really, is basically a rite of passage at this point for any and all former Nickelodeon / Disney channel stars. Anyway, professional basketball player Andre Drummond is apparently the prime suspect since they dated for all of a week, but he’s denying any involvement. TMZ reports …
The photos surfaced on several websites Monday … and people immediately suspected the guy behind the leak was Drummond, since McCurdy humiliated him on a podcast over the weekend by spilling intimate details of their failed 1-week dating fling. Moments ago, McCurdy even tweeted about the leak … saying, “To anyone disappointed: I sent those pics to 1 person. You can connect the dots. Shocked someone would stoop so low. I just speak w/ candor.” We reached out to Drummond, who could not have been more adamant he’s not to blame — saying, “I did NOT leak any photos of JM.” The Detroit Pistons star — who grabbed an incredible 26 rebounds last night — adds, “I want nothing to do with her or the situation. I’m just worried about ball.”
So basically, we may never know who leaked them. But the important thing is that Jennette now has a viable way of shedding her teen starlet image, without having to do something dumb stupid. Like Spring Breakers. Or going on stage at the MTV VMAs and making Paula Patton divorce Robin Thicke. Comparatively speaking, she got off pretty easy.
