#RashidaJones knows that “The Office” shipped Jim and Pam before “shipping” was even a thing — and she’s made peace with the fact that many viewers hated her character for coming in between them.
“I was the third point in the triangle, it’s fine, I accept it,” she said in a Tuesday episode of
#AmyPoehler’s new podcast, “Good Hang.”
Jones co-starred on “The Office” after being introduced in Season 3 as Karen Filippelli, a new co-worker for Jim (
#JohnKrasinski), who at the top of the season had just accepted a job at a different branch of Dunder Mifflin — in part to remove himself from Pam (
#JennaFischer), who was engaged when they shared a kiss at the end of Season 2. Karen becomes a love interest for Jim, ultimately creating a love triangle that many fans decidedly wanted to be an A-B relationship between the main characters.
