Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Actor French Stewart, who starred alongside Anna Faris in the sitcom ‘Mom’, has expressed disappointment over Chuck Lorre’s comment on the actress in his new book, praising Faris as a hardworking, kind and dedicated co-star who was the “spine” of the show.
Stewart took to Instagram, where he shared a picture with Faris and wrote in the caption: “Anna Faris is one of my all time favorite costars. Funny. Kind. Prepared. Delivered on show night. The vast majority of my eight years on Mom was spent working with Anna. She was Mom. The spine of the show. And a legit good person.”
He expressed his disspoinetment over the comment made by Lorre.
“I was disheartened to see Chuck Lorre throw her under the television bus in his new book. I’ll say this. Whenever I saw Anna- I saw a woman working hard to make a good show. Whenever I saw Chuck – I saw a man trying hard not to turn into a werewolf. That was my experience. I wouldn’t trade a day working with her.#annafaris #chucklorre #mom #cbs.”
