“He grabbed me by both arms and yelled at me” never touch me again! “He threw me on the floor, flat on my back, I could not get any air”, writes Philipps in her autobiography.
In the book, of which Yahoo saw a part, Philipps Franco calls a ‘bully’. She says that the director and producers forced him to apologize at the time, but that he was never punished for his anger outburst.
