Park and Recreation star Rashida Jones is open about her short stint Office And why was she only deleted for a year after she played the character Karen Filippelli?
Jones joined the office ensemble cast during the third season in 2006, playing the love interest Karen of Jim Halpert (played by John Krasinski). However, the actress claims that people don’t enjoy her time on hit sitcoms. In particular, the audience is very much supportive of Jim and Pam Beesley (played by Jenna Fisher).
What did Rashida Jones say about being cut from the office?
Jones revealed in an episode of Amy Poehler’s podcast Good Hang (via deadline) that removal from the office makes perfect sense.
“I was doing it in the office for a year and they let me go. It makes sense. It makes sense,” Jones said. “You were doing such a tough job there. Everyone wanted Jim and Pam, so you guessed who was showing up,” said Pauler, her park and recreation co-star.
Jones then cut, saying, “It didn’t feel that way. People didn’t like me. The fans weren’t about it.” The actress stated that her character was featured to “create tension” in Jim and Pam’s relationship.
“So I was the third point of the triangle. That’s fine. I’ll accept that,” she added.
Jones returned to the office as Karen on two episodes of Season 4 and one episode of Season 5. She was last seen in the series in a season 7 cameo. The actress appeared on other television shows after a short time in the office. This includes her starring roles, unsed, sunny and Silo starring.
On the film side, Jones stars in Social Networks, Coop Out, Celeste, Jesse forever, Rock and more.
