"I think I just really thoroughly enjoyed being able to go to work with girlfriends every day," the actress adds The post Jaime Pressly Calls ‘Mom’ Co-Stars an ‘Incredible Cast of Women’ After Chuck Lorre’s Anna Faris Comments appeared first on TheWrap .

Chuck Lorre's comments about Anna Faris' casting on his CBS sitcom "Mom" have sparked a conversation about the show and its talented cast. Jaime Pressly, who joined "Mom" in its second season in 2014, praised her co-stars as an "incredible cast of women." Pressly, who played Jill Kendall, a wealthy, self-absorbed divorcee and recovering alcoholic, worked with the cast for seven years.

She appreciated the camaraderie of working with her colleagues, all of whom were equally flawed and relatable. Pressly's comments come after Lorre's memoir "Sitcom," in which he revealed his initial reluctance to cast Faris in the comedy. He later admitted that his reservations proved to be justified when Faris left the show in 2020.

Faris responded to Lorre's comments on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for the job and the years she spent working on the show.
