\u201cYikes. Yes, I read a few things. I really didn\u2019t see that coming. Of course, it hurts,\u201d the post read. <\/p>\n

\u201cChuck gave me a job I loved and for seven years I never took a day of it for granted. I\u2019m proud of what we made together, and nothing changes how grateful I am for those for those people and those years.\u201d <\/p>\n

In his memoir Sitcom, he wrote his \u201cinitial reluctance\u201d to cast Anna in the lead role in the hit show Mom was \u201cin fact, correct.\u201d Lorre was a co-creator of the show and an executive producer. <\/p>\n

He went on to say the \u201cmysterious reasons,\u201d Anna left production after season seven \u201cwere not mysterious to anyone on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faris didn\u2019t address the comments directly, but tellingly wrote: \u201cI\u2019ve been sober for a year and a half. I was on a show about recovery and then I lived it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019m healthy, I\u2019m working, and I\u2019m happier than I\u2019ve been in a long time. If anyone reading this is where I was, I hope that\u2019s useful. It gets better. I am proof.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friends and co-stars of Faris took to the comments of her post to show their support for the actress. <\/p>\n

Fellow Mom star Justin Long wrote: \u201cI loved doing those episodes with you. You really helped me navigate what was a very different medium for me with patience and so much humour. <\/p>\n
