The actress detailed the incident in her memoir, ‘There Was a Little Girl’. She was shooting her cameo in two episodes of the famous sitcom. The actor was playing the role of a crazed fan who considered Joey (Matt LeBlanc) as the real Dr. Drake Ramoray, which was Joey’s character on a TV show. In a scene, she was to lick Joey’s fingers to depict her obsession.

During that scene, Agassi was also present. She stated, “As we were shooting the second pass of the same scene, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Andre had stormed off the set.” Consequently, she ran after him. She stated, “At cut, I ran outside to find him and had to yell to him from the doorway so as not to get wet from the suddenly pouring sky.”
