Speaking on the Life Is Short podcast, Faris recalled receiving a letter from the Minister Of Tourism , saying she apparently wasn't welcome back in the country, reports metro.co.uk.
She said: "I didn't get kicked out, that sounds so dramatic, I didn't get kicked out. I did 'Yogi Bear' there and I was walking and it was a long shoot and there were days most days I only said, Yogi!"
After shooting, Anna was invited to Queens Of The Stone Age concert, and on her way back, she experienced vulgar encounters with locals.
"I was walking back I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and a backpack. And a car drives by and these dudes yell out like, 'show us your t**ts', but in a New Zealand accent. It all 'felt a little random but then another car drove past and its passengers apparently yelled out: 'We wanna f**k your p***y," the "Overboard" actress said.
But when she later told the story on the George Lopez Show, things took an interesting turn.
Faris added: "I recounted this story, because it was the only one I had, on this very short-lived George Lopez show and then I got a letter from the Minister of Tourism Of New Zealand that I was no longer welcome in their country."
Now, everything is sorted. She is allowed to to visit the country again.
