And while Friends is regarded as having one of the best series finales in television history, one fan theory would completely erase all the adventures that Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe shared together.

Twitter user @strnks proposed an alternate ending of Friends back in 2015, and his Pheobe-centric philosophy went viral: "All 10 seasons were merely her fevered imagination, projecting herself into the lives of the others. All she ever wanted was … Friends," he wrote.

Heartbreaking, right?!

So when ET caught up with Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman at the 2017 ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, we had to know if she had heard of this darkly twisted theory.

"That's the saddest thing I've ever heard!" a wide-eyed Kauffman exclaimed after we explained the Phoebe fable.

Although Kauffman has heard plenty of Friends fan theories over the years, the Grace & Frankie showrunner confessed that this one is by far the most unsettling. "No, I never heard that -- that's a terrible theory. That's insane!" she revealed. "That's, like, that's like crazy alt-television theory. Wow!"

"I'm fascinated," she added. "I just think that someone needs a life. Someone needs a life, that's all I'm saying."
