An Alleged Sex Scandal Caused Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell’s Falling Out Chris Kattan’s new book, 'Baby Don’t Hurt Me,' reveals why his friendship with former 'SNL' costar Will Ferrell ended. Kattan claims that 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels pressured the actor to sleep with 'Clueless' director Amy Heckerling. Michaels is said to have encouraged the idea so that Paramount Pictures would greenlight
'A Night at the Roxbury.' The 'SNL' alum ultimately went through with the suggestion, resulting in the end of his personal friendship with Ferrell. Chris Kattan, via 'Baby Don't Hurt Me' Heckerling’s daughter responded by acknowledging that her mother and Kattan had an affair, but added that it occurred during filming and was consensual. An SNL representative denied the claims, stating that the book’s publisher did not reach out to fact check the story.
