Anna Faris responds to Chuck Lorre's memoir after he said he never wanted to hire her. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I don't know if you guys saw this yesterday, the actress, and she says that she was very hurt by what TV producer and director Chuck Lorre wrote in his memoir about her departure from his show Mom.
Um, and he has created a lot of really big shows, including The Big Bang Theory, but he took to his new memoir, Sitcom, to throw shade at the actress for exiting his popular show ahead of Season 8.
Anna played the lead role of recovering alcoholic Kristi Plunkett in the show from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty.
In his book, Chuck revealed that he initially had reservations about bringing Anna on board his project, and he writes, "As the years went by, it became apparent that my initial reluctance to hire Anna was, in fact, correct.
After six years, she left the show for mysterious reasons that were not mysterious to anyone on the show." Now, while he didn't expand, you can fill in those blanks.
