This is not what we’re all about. This is a wonderful, warm place to be, and you’re coming into our home and just s*** on it.'”.
The certain someone Aniston referred to was Fisher Stevens. Stevens, later on, apologized for his conduct by saying, “I’ve rarely seen any of those people on Friends again, but I’m sure if you asked them about me, they would go, ‘What a New York snob.’ I’m sorry, guys. I’m sorry. I apologize. I was bad, I was wrong.”
