Want to know the reason Mom is ending? Allison Janney has an idea, but she’s remaining tight-lipped…for now.
“I have my own theories,” the 61-year-old actress said on the May 9 episode of CBS Sunday Morning, “but I’ve been told not to express them.”
In February, CBS announced the beloved sitcom would sign off for good after its eight season—news that came as a great shock to Allison. And saying goodbye to her character Bonnie won’t be easy for the star. “I hate change,” she said. “I get afraid—I always have—to let something go and not know what’s next.”
The show follows the estranged relationships between recovering addicts Bonnie and her daughter Christy, who was played by Anna Faris until she left the show last year.
“You know, it’s one thing to be part of a show that entertains, which in and of itself is a wonderful thing,” Allison, whose brother Hal Janney passed away following his own battle with addiction, said, “but to also have an impact on people who are in recovery, or people who have loved ones or family members who are going through it, to make recovery a more approachable option.”
