Anna Faris spills the identity of acclaimed movie-maker she blamed for ‘sexual misconduct’
Anna Faris reveals name of the movie-maker during recent episode of her podcast
US actress Anna Faris has recently revealed that the late movie-maker Ivan Reitman allegedly “touched” her “inappropriately” on the set of their movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
While speaking on her latest episode of podcast Unqualified with Girls director Lena Dunham, Anna shared, “One of my hardest film experiences was with Ivan Reitman. I mean he was a yeller. He would bring down somebody every day, and my first day, it was me,” reported via Metro.
The Scary Movie actress recalled her first interaction with Ivan which left her “angry and humiliated” as she was late to the set due to a small mishap.
Anna disclosed that late director scolded her in front of the cast and crew of the 2006 movie.
Just Friends star told Lena, “I was truly terrified on my first day that Ivan thinks I’m some kind of diva.”
“It’s a night shoot and Ivan is just taking me down. He was like, ‘Annie, you can’t play like that around here,’” mentioned the 45-year-old.
Anna explained, “I felt angry, hurt and humiliated and defensive. Then I was like, ‘did no one tell you what happened?’ and at that point he kind of just shut up and went behind a camera.”
However, shockingly, later “I was doing a scene where I was on a ladder and I was supposed to be taking books off a shelf and he slapped my ass in front the crew and all I could do was giggle,” remarked Overboard actress.
Interestingly, Anna talked about the alleged sexual harassment back in 2017 in the early days of the MeToo movement but she never mentioned the name of the movie-maker.
Meanwhile, Ivan, known for his movies like Ghostbusters as well as Kindergarten Cop and Junior, passed away earlier this year at the age of 75.
