On her podcast, Unqualified, the House Bunny star claimed that the late director inappropriately touched her while on the set of the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

During her chat with Lena Dunham, Faris said that working with the Ghostbusters filmmaker was one of the "hardest film experiences" in her career.

"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," the 45-year-old Scary Movie actor shared.

Faris explained that the incident occurred when Reitman, who passed away earlier this year, embarrassed her on the set of the romcom after an accident in her trailer caused her to be late.

"I felt angry and hurt and humiliated and defensive. Eventually, I said, 'Did no one tell you what happened?' At that point, he shut up and went behind the camera. Later, he slapped my ass too. That was a weird moment."

Producer from My Super Ex-Girlfriend speaks out after Anna Faris' claims

On Thursday, per Deadline Gavin Polone, one of the producers on My Super Ex Girlfriend, addressed the Just Friends star's shocking revelation.

"I never saw that incident, or heard about it, but I would not have any reason to dispute Anna’s account, either," Polone told the outlet.

"If Anna says it happened, I believe her. If it had happened in front of me, I certainly would have confronted Ivan about it. I’m sad to think Anna was demeaned in that way."

Faris first revealed the incident in 2017, but didn't give the name of the director at the time.
