Rashida Jones Spills the Tea on Getting the Boot from The Office: “It Made Sense”

Buy Me A Coffee

Rashida Jones is taking a trip down awkward-memory lane, and The Office is at the top of the list.

The 49-year-old actress entered the Scranton chat in Season 3 as Karen Filippelli, a love interest for Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinski, aka the Internetโ€™s Husband). She was this close to snatching Jim away from Pam, which, in Office fandom terms, is like walking into Hogwarts and demanding everyone call you the new Harry Potter.

During a recent episode of the Good Hang podcast with her Parks and Rec bestie Amy Poehler, Rashida opened up about getting the olโ€™ Dunder Mifflin pink slip.

โ€œI had done a year on The Office, and they let me go, which made sense. It made sense,โ€ she admitted, proving sheโ€™s clearly processed the trauma.

Amy, forever the supportive bestie, chimed in: โ€œYou had such a tough job there. Everybody was obsessed with Jim and Pam, and then you show upโ€”cool, likable, beautifulโ€”and everyoneโ€™s like, โ€˜Oh no, not today, Satan.โ€™โ€

Rashida, however, was not feeling the love. โ€œIt did not feel that way,โ€ she said. โ€œPeople did not like me. Fans were not about it.โ€

And thus, Karen was banished to the land of What Could Have Been, forever remembered as the woman who dared stand in the way of TVโ€™s most wholesome romance.

Rashida, we see you. We appreciate you. And honestly? Karen deserved better.
