Drew Barrymore Cries In (Non) Apology Video After Bringing Back Talk Show Amid Strike

Drew Barrymore is additional trying to justify her resolution to deliver again The Drew Barrymore Show.

As , it was introduced on Sunday that the 48-year-old actress could be returning to her daytime speak present. The downside with that, although, is that Hollywood has been on strike for months now! And in accordance with the WGA, The Drew Barrymore Show is a struck present — which means it employs union writers.

So, not solely is Drew violating WGA strike guidelines, however she is also hurting her writers!

Ugh. Who would have thought Drew would turn out to be a scab?

Naturally, the Santa Clarita Diet alum confronted a ton of backlash following the announcement. And now, Drew has taken to Instagram as soon as once more — this time with an emotional video to supply up a so-called apology to the Writers Guild of America for her actions. She started telling followers on Friday:

“I believe there’s nothing I can do or say in this moment to make it OK. I wanted to own a decision, so that it wasn’t a PR-protected situation, and I would just take full responsibility for my actions. I know there is just nothing I can do that will make this OK for those that it is not OK with. I fully accept that. I fully understand that. There are so many reasons why this is so complex, and I just want everyone to know my intentions have never been in a place to upset or hurt anymore. It’s not who I am.”

How else did she count on people who find themselves putting to react to this example? They have been going to be harm when somebody as massive as Drew is bringing again a present as an alternative of becoming a member of them on the picket line! Breaking down in tears, Drew continued:

“I’ve been through so many ups and downs in my life, and this is one of them. I deeply apologize to writers. I deeply apologize to unions. I deeply apologize… I don’t exactly know what to say because sometimes when things are so tough, it’s hard to make decisions from that place. So all I can say is that I wanted to accept responsibility. And no, I don’t have a PR machine behind this. My decision to go back to the show — I didn’t want to hide behind people, so I won’t.”

The Charlie’s Angels star went on to elucidate as soon as once more why the present was coming again through the strike, saying this entire factor is “bigger than me”:

“I certainly couldn’t have expected this kind of attention, and we aren’t going to break rules and we will be in compliance. I wanted to do this, because as I said, this is bigger than me and there are other people’s jobs on the line. And since launching live in a pandemic, I just wanted to make a show that was there for people in sensitive times. And I weighed the scales and I thought if we could go on during a global pandemic, and everything that the world experienced through 2020, why would this sideline us?”

In the tip, Drew mentioned she wished to be “there for people, regardless of anything else that’s happening in the world.” Hmm. You can see all the video (beneath):

Look… Drew might have mentioned she is sorry and shed just a few tears on this video, however this isn’t the fitting transfer!

If she have been actually remorseful for her actions, she wouldn’t be doubling down and justifying her resolution to deliver again the present. In truth, she would have modified her thoughts and stood in solidarity with the writers and actors if she legitimately felt sorry. But as an alternative, Drew just about instructed everybody she felt what she was doing was proper and would push ahead with the present despite the fact that this may solely proceed to harm her writers. And that’s so disappointing to listen to.

It’s a disgrace to see Drew nonetheless not taking precise duty. Just saying!!

But what are YOUR ideas on her apology, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback beneath…
