Anna Faris has accused director Ivan Reitman of bullying behaviour on the set of My Super Ex-Girlfriend in 2006 and said he "slapped my a** too".
The 45-year-old actress said the late filmmaker had a "reign of terror" and "yelled" at her in public which left her feeling "angry and humiliated".
Anna made the allegations of abusive behaviour during Wednesday's episode of her podcast Unqualified with guest Lena Dunham.
"One of my hardest film experiences was with Ivan Reitman. 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 Scary Movie star claimed.
Anna, who played Hannah Lewis in the romantic comedy, recalled how her first scene was a fight sequence with Uma Thurman which they filmed in the winter in New York.
She explained that her hair stylist had accidentally knocked a jar of wig glue over her expensive costume, which made her late to the set.
"I was terrified truly that my first day Ivan thinks that I’m some kind of diva that’s not coming out of my trailer.
"I’m like in the middle of the street that’s all lit, it’s a night shoot and Ivan is just taking me down," she said.
Asked if Ivan yelled at her, Anna said he did and added: "I felt angry and hurt and humiliated and defensive. Eventually, I said 'did no one tell you what happened?'
"At that point he kind of just shut up and went behind the camera but then later, he slapped my a** too. That was a weird moment."
Lena asked if anyone had stepped in, to which Anna replied: "No, it was like 2006."
Ivan, who also directed 1984’s Ghostbusters and 1988’s Twins, died in February this year aged 75.
In 2017, Anna shared on her podcast that she was made to feel "small" when a film director slapped her on the bum while on set, but did not give a name at the time.
She said that nobody had stood up for her because the man was a director and admitted that she dealt with the situation by telling herself to "buck up".
She added: "It made me feel small. He wouldn’t have done that to the lead male."
