Anna Faris, an actress, accuses Ivan Reitman (the late director) of inappropriate behavior in a 2006 film.
“One of my hardest film experiences was with Ivan Reitman. He slapped my ass. That was a weird moment. I felt angry and hurt,”Faris spoke on her podcast “Unqualified.”
Faris claims that it happened while Faris was filming a ladder scene in romantic comedy “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,”This film was directed by Reitman and also stars Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson and Luke.
“I mean, the idea of attempting to make a comedy under this, like, reign of terror. He was a yeller. He would bring down somebody every day, and my first day it was me,” Faris said.
Reitman passed away earlier in the year. He is best known for his blockbuster films like “Ghostbusters” “Kindergarten Cop.”
Faris claims she kept silent about the accusations, even though the #MeToo movement started in 2017.
“I did have like 30 people around me, I think expecting me to do something and I didn’t,” Faris said.
Faris has made reference to the incident in the past but has not revealed the identity of the director. Reitman’s relatives did not respond when asked.
