Chris also accuses Lorne of telling him, "I’m not saying you have to f**k her, but it wouldn’t hurt,” although an SNL rep told Page Six that "this did not happen." The star later revealed that the pair ended up having sex on a "casting couch." Amy's representation did not immediately reply to comment.
