Anna Faris

Anna Faris is the latest in a long list of Hollywood starlets to share her story of sexual harassment.

Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, Anna Faris is Unqualified, the actress told listeners how an unidentified director had acted inappropriately towards her in front of an entire film crew.

"I was doing a scene where I was on a ladder. I was supposed to be taking books off a shelf, and he slapped my ass in front of the crew so hard. And all I could do was giggle," she said.

She went on to explain how her colleagues seemed bemused by his actions, though none of them said or did anything to defend her.

"I remember looking around and I remember seeing the crew members being like, 'Wait, what are you going to do about that? 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. Come on, Faris. Buck up. It's not that big of a deal.' Like, 'Just giggle.' But it made me feel small."

Guest on the podcast, actress Arielle Kebbel, said she could relate to Anna's experience:  "I've found myself giggling out of so many situations, and it's like, 'Screw you for making me have to figure it out.'"

While Anna did not disclose the name of the director, nor the name of the film she ws working on, she did ponder that a lot of men in Hollywood must be “pretty scared right now because of their guilty behaviour.”

Adding: "Hopefully this pattern will be broken."

Last month, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt devastated fans across the globe when they announced their split on social media.

The beloved Hollywood couple had been married for eight years and are parents to four-year-old son, Jack.

At the time of the announcement, Anna and Chris asked that their privacy be respected and the pair have remained tight-lipped about the situation ever since.

“Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward,” the joint statement read.

However, Anna is expected to reveal some intimate details about her marriages to both Ben Indra and Chris Pratt in her upcoming biography, Unqualified.

"I feel really, really nervous because it feels really intimate," she said on this week's episode of her podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified.

"I’m excited and I … you know, when I first got the book deal I thought, 'Oh, what a great adventure.' Now that it's getting closer, I feel, in a sense, that I got to always hide behind characters, and now this is me and it feels a little scary."

According to the actress, the book will document her life from the “quiet kid with headgear” to the “actress in LA,” and cover all the difficulties she faced during that transition.

"It’s just my experiences," she told her listeners.

The highly anticipated book, which Anna describes as half a memoir, half an advice book also contains a passage written by Chris before the split, and is due for release this October.

Hollywood was left somewhat stunned earlier this month when word landed that Chris Pratt and Anna Faris had decided to part ways.

The couple, who married in 2009 and welcomed a baby son in 2012, appeared rock solid, so their decision to separate was met with shock by fans and followers in recent weeks.

"Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed," the Guardians of the Galaxy star wrote on Facebook.

"Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward."

"We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another," Chris confirmed in a post which racked up hundreds of thousands of reactions.


However, it looks like the couple aren't quite ready to give up on their nine-year relationship, with a source telling the Mail Online that the pair have decided to seek therapy to work on their issues.

"It’s been very intense, with Anna discussing how she feels isolated with Chris gone so much of the time and her career taking a backseat," the insider explained.

"Chris gets frustrated because Anna is in the industry, too, and knew the commitments involved when she married him.’

Despite the problems born of their hectic, high-profile lifestyle, the couple are reportedly determined to work through the problems together.

And frankly, this news has made our morning.

Anna Faris has thanked her fans for their love and support in an emotional statement on her podcast, Anna Faris is Unqualified.

Last week, fans of the actress were left devastated by the news and she and husband, Chris Pratt, had decided to split after eight years of marriage.

The beloved Hollywood couple announced their separation in a joint statement on Facebook and Twitter, admitting they had “tried hard for a long time.”

After initially saying they wanted to keep the situation “as private as possible,” Anna has finally broken her silence.

“Hey, dear listeners. I just want to thank you all so much for all the love I’ve been receiving, and I truly love you.”

The actress often uses her podcast to discuss personal matters and has previously hinted at struggles in her relationship, leading some fans to believe that her marriage may have been trouble for some time.

“My long-distance relationship with Chris, I wouldn’t describe it as that, but we do spend a lot of time apart,” she said in May of this year.

On July 31, just days before the pair announced their split, Anna admitted she often felt lonely and uncomfortable:

“There’s definitely a loneliness and, like, an internal element to being a performer.”

“I feel like I have to laugh. Like, if I have a red carpet thing or whatever, which I’m never comfortable, but I’m always like, “I’m fine!” And it never feels like me.”

Chris Pratt made his first public appearance since the split at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night, though he did not comment on the situation.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have announced their decision to legally separate after eight years of marriage.

The beloved Hollywood couple posted a joint statement on social media in which they revealed that had “tried hard for a long time.”

The pair, who have one four-year-old son together, have requested that their privacy be respected at this time.

“Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”

The actors met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight back in 2007. They got engaged the following year and eventually wed at a ceremony in Bali on July 9, 2009.

It's thought that the pair's busy work schedules could have put a strain on their relationship.

Anna is currently shooting the fifth season of her hit CBS sitcom, Mom, while Chris has spent most of the summer in the UK and Hawaii shooting Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Earlier this year, Chris told the Associated Press how the couple balance work while making time for each other: “For the first part of our relationship, we put our careers at the top.

“We were like, ‘Honey, if you get a job and you have to go to Istanbul for six months, you’re going. I’ll help you pack. I’ll Skype with you every day. You’re living your dream, I’m living my dream. That’s what we do.'”

The news of the couple's split was met with sadness as many fans took to social media to express their disbelief and offer their love and support at this difficult time.

Our childhoods were spent desperately trying – and ultimately failing – to fly a kite which our parents had splashed out on in the local pound shop.

Running up and down a nearby green while the useless yoke trailed behind us on the ground was as soul-destroying as it got for a nine-year-old, so we're seriously feeling for Anna Faris today.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Chris Pratt uploaded footage of his wife looking downcast as she tried to get her damn kite to raise even half an inch over her head.

"My wife is all things…Lover. Actor. Mother. Kite master," he wrote alongside a snap of the Scary Movie actress looking like she'd literally lost the will to live.

Giving fans an insight into the REAL struggle she endured, Chris then shared footage of the star's plight in a vid which has clocked up a staggering one million views since yesterday.

Encouraging his wife, who – and we don't want to cast aspersions here – definitely needs a little schoolin' in the ol' kite-flying , Chris can be heard shouting: "Come on, come on wind! Good job, it's almost up! It's almost up!"

"Haha that's literally everyone that tries to fly a kite," wrote one Insta user while another remarked: "I don't think even a tornado would send it up with the way she's holding it!"

Now, we know kite-flying was never our thing, but surely a bit of  a running start would help…

 

Come on wind!!!

Hollywood heartthrob, Chris Pratt, has spoken out against the inequality of the objectification of women.

His answer to this problem? Objectify the men just as much as the women. That we can do, Chris!

In an interview with Radio 4’s Front Row, Chris vocalised his disdain. “I think it’s appalling that for a long time only women were objectified,” the Jurassic World star revealed.

“But I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it’s important to even things out.” Hear, hear!

Sadly Chris’s latest film doesn’t have NEARLY enough (or any) shirtless scenes, but we are going to take his latest message as a sign that they are on the way.

The 35-year-old star has seen a seismic shift in his career and the roles that he is being offered, because of his looks. “There are a lot of women who got careers out of their bodies, and I’m using it to my advantage,” he said.

Although, it’s clear that Chris, who is married to actress Anna Faris, doesn’t take his new heartthrob status too personally. “At the end of the day, our bodies are objects… We’re just big bags of flesh and blood and meat and organs that God gives us to drive around.”

It is certainly safe to say that his new found six-pack is SERIOUSLY working. Chris’s next big role is starring alongside Jennifer Lawrence in the forthcoming sci-fi romance flick, Passengers.

Chris is reportedly to earn €11 million, while his co-star Ms Lawrence will rake in an astonishing €18 mil for the project.

From their red carpet PDAs to the wonderful things they say about each other in their interviews, it’s safe to say that Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are the cutest couple in Hollywood.

Anyone who wishes to dispute the title will have to top Jurassic Park star Chris’ latest anecdote, which has taken their romance levels up a few notches.

During an interview with E! while promoting his new movie, hilarious (and hunky) actor Chris revealed that Anna and their son Jack recently surprised him ahead of the double-celebration that is Father’s Day and his birthday.

“I had a couple of days off here in LA which was really nice, and when I came home my son came up to me and was so excited to lead me to this room in the house, because he wanted to show me the present they got me,” the 35-year-old explained.

A delighted Chris revealed: “And my darling wife bought me a piano for my birthday and Father’s Day. It was, like, the nicest gift I’ve ever received. It was such a beautiful, beautiful piano…I’ve wanted a piano for a very long time and I don’t know, it was like she just really scored.”

We’re a little overwhelmed right now, so all we’ll say is this: relationship goals.
