There was that gut feeling: Anna Faris talks about being cheating on
Actor Anna Faris got candid about a previous relationship where she was cheated on. On an instalment of her podcast Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the 43-year-old opened up to her episode guest, tattoo artist Kat Von D.
The actor spoke about a past partner who was unfaithful — and why she didn’t trust her gut when she rightfully suspected the cheating, reports people.com.
“I woke him up in the middle of the night and was like, ‘Are you f***ing so-andso?’ and he was like, ‘You’re crazy’,” Faris said, not naming the ex.
She added: “I’m pretty oblivious sometimes, you know — especially in relationships, of course I don’t want to believe that anything [is wrong]... but there was that gut feeling that was starting to grow more and more.”
Reflecting on the circumstances, the Scary Movie franchise actor said she now realises that she “chose to bury” her inklings of infidelity because of the stigma she believes women face when speaking out about couple’s quarrels.
She said: “Not to be too gender-specific. I do think, as women, we’re sort of taught to suppress fear or suspicion, because we might be deemed as suspicious or neurotic or crazy or whatever.”
Faris said she then stayed in the relationship for a few more years, before she found out through friends that her accusations were valid.
“I think in my case, I was like, ‘Okay, maybe he’s right, maybe I am crazy’,” the actor shared.
Faris and her ex-husband Chris Pratt split in August 2017 after eight years of marriage, and the two finalised their divorce in November 2018. The pair have a seven-year-old son, Jack.
Prior to her relationship with Pratt, Faris was married to actor Ben Indra.
Faris is currently romantically linked to cinematographer Michael Barrett. The two began dating in 2017 after they met working on the film Overboard, Faris’ most recent project.
