Getty Anna Faris is looking back at her shocking exit from Mom . If you forgot, the 49-year-old Scary Movie actress starred as Christy Plunkett in the Chuck Lorre -created series, which ran for eight seasons from 2013 to 2021. Anna shocked fans when she exited the series after season seven and didn’t return for the final season. During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast , Anna looked back fondly at her time with the “brilliant” Mom cast, but admitted that the show’s commitment became too intense for her. “I do think the intensity, towards the end, I think I started to lose my focus,” Anna said. “I never had a job besides waitressing for over three months before.” When asked if the “intensity” of the filming schedule is what led to her exit from the series, Anna responded, “It was a complicated time.” She went on to say she would need another podcast episode to go into all the details about why she left Mom . “I’m always hesitant to really chew into my experience on Mom because seven years is a huge chunk of time,” Anna noted. “And being a part of an intense, amazing project.” Also during the interview, Anna shared why she agreed to star in the show alongside Allison Janney , who played her mom Bonnie Plunkett. “It was a really funny pilot, a really interesting pilot,” she shared, explaining that as she got older, she felt the need to “settle down.” “I didn’t think that the movie landscape looked wide open at all,” Anna said. “An avenue to longevity in Hollywood could be comedy.” “But doing the show Mom , I loved the live audience,” she continued, referring to them as the “happiest live audience you can imagine.” All these years later, Anna said that she still gets approached by Mom fans. “I feel really moved that I’ve touched lives,” she said. Back in 2020, Allison reacted to Anna ‘s exit .
