Anna Faris responds publicly to remarks by her former boss, CBS co-creator Chuck Lorre, included in his new memoir, *Sitcom*. Multiple outlets report that Faris says the comments about her exit from the CBS comedy *Mom* “hurt,” and she characterizes Lorre’s reflections as something that feels painful, including language used to describe her departure.
The coverage also highlights Faris’s personal update separate from the memoir dispute. She tells audiences she has been sober for about a year and a half. Outlets link the timing of her reaction and personal disclosure, as she addresses Lorre’s published statements and their impact.
Overall, the different reports focus on two elements: Lorre’s portrayal of the circumstances around Faris leaving the series, and Faris’s response to that portrayal, alongside her sobriety announcement. While outlets vary in tone and emphasis, they converge on the fact that Faris reacts to Lorre’s memoir and that she reports being sober for 18 months.
