Brooke Shields says ex Andre Agassi wasn't happy with her guest-starring role on "Friends."

In a recent feature in The New Yorker, the actor and model said the former tennis No. 1, who Shields was married to for two years, attended a taping of a season two episode, "The One After the Super Bowl Part I."

In the episode, Shields plays an obsessive stalker, Erika, who goes on a date with Matt LeBlanc's character, Joey, after sending him fan mail for his role as a doctor on "Days of Our Lives."

During the date, in which Erika believes Joey really is his character, she asks to see his beautiful, talented hands and things get weird.

"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," Shields told The New Yorker, adding of LeBlanc, "He was cute — he was, like, 'I've washed my hands and they're all clean.'"

"Andre was in the audience supporting me, and he stormed out," Shields said.

Shields never said what made Agassi leave the taping, but insinuated it was due to her actions during the episode.

"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?'" Shields said.

When The New Yorker's Michael Schulman asked if Agassi then "went home and smashed all his trophies over this," Shields confirmed this, saying, "Smashed all his trophies."

Shields added that she later learned her former husband was "addicted to crystal meth at this point."

"So that irrational behavior I'm sure had something to do with that," she said.

In his 2009 autobiography, "Open," Agassi wrote about his introduction to the drug in 1997. According to Getty Images, the taping of Shields' "Friends" episode occurred in mid-December 1995. It aired in January 1996.

A representative for Agassi did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
