Brooke Shields claims her ex, Andre Agassi, reacted with rage when she made a guest appearance on the NBC comedy “Friends” in the late 90s.

The 57-year-old star described the behavior her tennis pro boyfriend exhibited during filming while speaking with The New Yorker for an interview published Sunday.

In the episode titled “The One After the Superbowl,” Shields played an obsessed fan who had a thing for Dr. Drake Ramoray, a fictional soap star who Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) played as part of his acting work.

Agassi was apparently furious about the storyline. 

“In the scene, I’m supposed to lick Joey’s fingers, because they’re the hands of a genius, and I want to devour them, and I’m a nut. He was cute—he was, like, ‘I’ve washed my hands and they’re all clean.’ I was, like, ‘I had a mint!’” the actress recalled.

“Andre was in the audience supporting me, and he stormed out,” Shield continued. “He said, ‘Everybody’s making fun of me. You made a fool of me by that behavior.’ I’m, like, ‘It’s comedy! What is the matter with you?’”

“I learned later that he was addicted to crystal meth at that point, so that irrational behavior I’m sure had something to do with that,” she said, noting how he “smashed all his trophies” because of the incident, which she also called “petulant behavior.”

The publication noted that Agassi admitted in his 2009 autobiography, “Open,” that he was using crystal meth in 1997, one year after the time of the alleged incident on the “Friends” set.

Shields and Agassi divorced in 1999 after two years of marriage. She has been married to film director Chris Henchy since 2001. 

The actress previously discussed her feelings on the failed relationship in her memoir, “There Was a Little Girl.”

“It hit me all of a sudden- I knew I had made a mistake,” she said of the two-year marriage. “For the next two years we saw very little of each other. I was working on my show, ‘Suddenly Susan,’ and he was playing at various tournaments. He alienated me when he lost and was on to the next tournament after he won. We were drifting apart,” she wrote.
