We Finally Know Why Anna Faris Left Mom

Anna Faris is known for playing ditzy blond to perfection, having nailed such performances in The House Bunny and the Scary Movie franchise. In 2013, she was cast as newly sober single mom Christy opposite Allison Janney in the CBS sitcom Mom. For seven seasons, Faris cracked viewers up with her distinct brand of comedy, but in September 2020, the actor announced that she would not be returning for the show’s eighth season.
Faris’ decision came as a shock to many, as she truly was central to the series. So what really happened? We finally know why Anna Faris left Mom - here are all the details.

Right. A rehash of the statement/s made by all concerned after she left. I enjoyed MOM and I believe the show could have continued on without Faris, but we all know how that turned out. Such a loss for the fans. But as long as ANNA'S happy...I'll never watch anything she does again, including her all about her movie she is supposedly producing and starring in as twins.

This doesn’t explain why she left. To “explore other avenues” (paraphrase) of her career? An actor does not do that at the height of a mega hit show in the middle of a contract. There is much more to this than is being said. I’m going to miss this show so much!

It's so bizarre that she left the show to explore these other avenues and when I went to go see what she's up to...zip, zero, zilch! I could find nothing! If she said the reason was to be with her son...I'd get that, but not what she said without actually doing something else. Weird!

I personally wonder if she needed to take a break to address some personal problems. It's been long speculated she has an eating disorder & a drug/alcohol issue. Something def going on w/ her for a long time and since she left she's been laying really low (not pursuing other career opportunities). If the rumors & physical signs are true, I hope she is in fact addressing some of her problems & taking some personal time.

One of my favorite shows. I wish Chuck Lorre/producer would have let it gone on for 10 seasons. It’s my go to comfort and entertainment. The characters Bonnie, Jill, Marjorie, Wendy, Christy, Adam, Tammy, Baxter were perfect four the show…in addition to chef Rudy, Regina and all of the other characters/guest stars. Bonnie Plunkett had the best chemistry with Adam, besides Christy dad Alvin. I thought it was so cool how Adam and Bonnie met. Season 3 Episode 16/ Adam met a lady by the name of Linda. Well the number that Linda gave end of being Bonnie’s number. I loved it when she said “I am happily married with 11 children” Adam in return said “No you’re not” Bonnie said how to do you know?!?! Adam “said no one is happily married with 11 children”. I loved it whenAdam called Bonnie out on BS and she Seoul’s just give right end… I can go on and on about this show… Chuck Lorre produces great shows, Like Mom, Two and Half Men, Young Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory, Mike and Molly and other shows..he is the Norman Lear of this time./with a more sarcasm and narcissism in a funny way..

For the network to cancel a great show at its peak just shows they don't have the first clue what they're doing. I can't WAIT to see the garbage they'll show us instead.

[@kathrynoneill5862]

Why do actors who really don't have big movie careers leave her popular tv shows? Mean while struggling actors would kill for a sitcom.

[@Cementedemented27]

Well here's my two cents about this.. If you observe the show closely and the way she speaks at her podcast, there seems to be something amiss.. or like deep seated self confidence issues (or mom issues for real?). She keeps bringing her own stories while she is interviewing someone else, as if screaming for desperate attention that isn't quite desperate. If you also closely observe her character's relationship with others on the show, there can be seen immense struggle as well. She cannot seem to empathise with anyone and is always pissing someone off, never learning the error of her ways. My two cents is that she maybe either aware of it or probably thinks that everyone picks on her and hates her cuz of that (maybe even in reality). And that she may actually be in trouble for real for mental health issues. Maybe Christy's character hit too close to home for her or that what can be seen as happening in the show might be her actual reality... :/
