Jennette's mother is in hospital a few times and inevitably does die in the hospital. There's a scene of her mother frantically begging not to go into surgery, and for someone who has been there, it's a hard scene to get through.

aside from the R word (used in the context of describing other people's words, not used by jennette herself) there is at least one instance of "narcissist" being used in a demeaning way which may upset those with NPD

There is a scene where a young prepubescent Jennette is objectified by "the costuming department" in bikini bathing suits though it's made clear it's for Dan Schneider's personal purposes. There is also a scene where Jennette turns 18 and he becomes explicitly sexual towards her in person.
