"Mother" star Anna Faris acknowledged that "of course it hurts" how series creator Chuck Lorre wrote about her in his recent memoir, saying that he was "actually, right" about his initial reluctance to hire the actress.

"Yes," she wrote in a statement posted on Instagram Thursday. "Yeah, I read a few things. I didn't really see it coming. It hurts. Chuck gave me a job I loved, and for seven years I never took a day of it for granted. I'm proud of what we built together and nothing changes how grateful I am for those people and those years."

Lorre wrote in her sitcom memoir that her tumultuous experiences with Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men" fueled her doubts about hiring the "horror movie" star for the show. But he admitted that he didn't want to let the experience affect his final decision. Popular in Variety

"I wasn't sure Anna was right for this kind of material," he wrote in the memoir. "Then I thought about how badly I had ruined my working relationship with Charlie Sheen."

Mom — which saw Faris play a recovering alcoholic who guides the new life of his mother (Allison Janney), also a recovering alcoholic, moves in with him — ran on CBS for eight seasons from 2013 to 2021. Faris left the series in 2020 to "pursue new opportunities," but Laure blamed his departure on "mysterious reasons."

"Over the years, it became clear that my initial reluctance to hire Anna was indeed correct," he wrote. After six years, she left the show for mysterious reasons that were no secret to anyone on the show.

Fars wrote on Thursday that he has been sober for a year and a half. "I was on a show about recovery, and then I lived it," she wrote.

Faris added: "Now I am healthy, I am working and I am happier than in a long time. "If anyone reading this is where I was, I hope it's helpful. It gets better. I am the reason."
