He was a yeller.
He would bring down somebody every day, and my first day it was me."

“I was like 20 to 25 minutes late,” she recalled.
and I was like, ‘Don’t do it.
I felt angry and hurt and humiliated and defensive.
Eventually I just said, ‘Did no one tell you what happened?’
And at that point he kind of just shut up and went behind the camera."
Faris said this wasn’t her only uncomfortable run-in with Reitman, whodied in February, that day.
“Later, he slapped my ass too,” she said.
“That was a weird moment.”
When Dunham asked if anyone had stepped in to support her, Faris replied, “No.
It was, like, 2006.”
“On one hand, it wasn’t anything, whatever, my ass is fine.
Farispreviously spoke about the experience on setin 2017 but did not name the director then.
“And all I could do was giggle.”
That seemed weird.’
And that’s how I dismissed it.
I was like, ‘Well, this isn’t a thing.
Like, it’s not that big of a deal.
Buck up, Faris.
Like, just giggle.’
But it made me feel small.
He wouldn’t have done that to the lead male.”
