\n\tAnna Faris<\/a> is opening up about her personal growth and recovery after reading comments made by her former boss.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the release of television producer Chuck Lorre\u2019s new memoir, Sitcom<\/em>,<\/a> Faris took to social media on Oct. 15 to address his characterization of her abrupt departure from the series. She announced her exit in September 2020, ahead of the show\u2019s eighth and final season.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYikes. Yes, I read a few things. I really didn\u2019t see that coming. Of course it hurts,\u201d Faris wrote on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAddressing the Memoir Claims\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tIn Sitcom<\/em>, Lorre wrote that he hesitated to cast Faris as Christy Plunkett, even though she was CBS\u2019s first choice<\/a> for the role. \u201cI initially said no. I wasn\u2019t sure Anna would be appropriate for this kind of material,\u201d he wrote, per Us<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tLooking back, Lorre said he felt his first instinct was right. \u201cAs the years went by, it became apparent that my initial reluctance to hire Anna was, in fact, correct,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAfter six years, she left the show for mysterious reasons that were not mysterious to anyone on the show.\u201d He didn\u2019t say what those reasons were.<\/p>\n

\n\tInstead of firing back, Faris took the high road and expressed her appreciation for the opportunity. \u201cChuck gave me a job I loved, and for seven years I never took a day of it for granted,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m proud of what we made together, and nothing changes how grateful I am for those people and those years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPrioritizing Health and Happiness\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tFaris also used the post to share a personal milestone. \u201cI\u2019ve been sober<\/a> for a year and a half,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI was on a show about recovery and then I lived it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s a meaningful full-circle moment for Faris, who played Christy, a single mom newly in recovery, opposite Allison Janney for seven seasons. \u201cNow I\u2019m healthy, I\u2019m working, and I\u2019m happier than I\u2019ve been in a long time,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe ended with a message for anyone who might be struggling: \u201cIf anyone reading this is where I was, I hope that\u2019s useful. It gets better. I\u2019m proof.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
