TVLine • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Anna Faris revealed she has been sober for a year and a half, sharing on Instagram that she is healthier, happier, and working again after leaving the CBS comedy "Mom."
- Faris' comments followed the release of Chuck Lorre's memoir "Sitcom," in which he attributed her exit from the show to "mysterious reasons that were not mysterious to anyone on the show," though he did not elaborate further.
- Faris expressed gratitude for her seven years on "Mom" and said she was proud of the work they created, despite being hurt by Lorre's remarks in his book.
- Lorre initially hesitated to cast Faris as the lead but later supported her role, though he later suggested his original doubts were justified after her departure.
- After Faris left in 2020 ahead of Season 8, the show wrote her character out by sending her to law school, and she did not return for the series finale; co-creator Gemma Baker said they honored Faris' decision to leave.
