Some speculation of what went on with Jennette and Nickelodeon.

Here's what we know:
 * Nick put her in a compromising situation (one that many of us were guessing the night it all unfolded).
 * It doesn't have to do with Ariana winning the KCA.
 * It doesn't have to do with Ariana getting paid more.
 * It doesn't involve the leaked pictures.
 * She said it was because of "adults being stuffed into cookie cutter kids' network characters created for tween".
 * She said "actions don't speak...people speak. and people speak... LOUD."
 * She tweeted "Oh god, I'm FINALLY almost done! I can't wait till I get to the next chapter...of this book I'm reading. Only 16.. pages left ;)"

So clearly she simply didn't want to do the show because she didn't want to be play Sam and feel trapped doing the same roles/working with the same people. Nick was probably pressuring her to do a second season (perhaps using some sort of leverage against her) and she didn't want to do it. She says in that tweet "16 pages left" when there was about 4 more episodes of S&C Season 1 to film. So I think it's possible that she was originally going to go along with a smaller second season of only 12 episodes but they were pressuring her to do a longer second season. She protested by refusing to go to the KCAs.

With Ariana, I think there's two possible things that happened: a) She wanted ariana to protest with her but she didn't want to cause a commotion (and she possibly was more willing to do a second season - for example, she was willing to do another season of victorious as well along with s&c) so Jennette unfollowed her on that night. b) Because of the rising tensions between the two (having to see each other everyday on set), she decided to finally unfollow Ariana and let out her feelings on the big day that she was going to make her stand against Nickelodeon. Perhaps even a combination of the two.

Nick decided to cancel the show because it wasn't worth continuing when one of the actresses no longer wanted to keep doing the show. Maybe she didn't expect them to outright cancel the show (before Season 1 was done filming) because in WNFS, the executives drop that bombshell out of nowhere.

I know all of this seems like obvious conjectures but Jennette did say that we were all guessing what happened. Thought I should post about this after the whole salary thing was brought up again.
