Anna Faris' friends have her back after Chuck Lorre threw some serious shade her way ... and they're calling him out for saying he was right to doubt her casting in "Mom."

People close to Anna tell TMZ … Chuck's comments were "s****y," considering Anna gave 7 years of her life to his show.

They feel it's absurd that Chuck claims his reservations were "proven right" after Anna spent seven years making people laugh, building an audience and helping create a successful series.

Chuck Lorre says his gut instinct to not cast Anna Faris in "Mom" was ultimately proven right ... based on how the show turned out.

The famed showrunner reveals in his new memoir, "Sitcom," that he had "initial reluctance" about putting Anna in the show's starring role.

Chuck writes ... "I initially said no. I wasn't sure Anna would be appropriate for this kind of material."

But Chuck says the way he "bungled" his relationship with Charlie Sheen caused him to reconsider, writing ... "Someone's personal life is none of my business. The mom in 'Mom' would be, and should be, Anna Faris."
