Drew Barrymore Ignores SAG-AFTRA Strikes
After initially endorsing the striking writers and actors guilds, Drew Barrymore is pressing on with her daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter shares that audience members have been kicked out before filming for having signs or buttons endorsing the strikes. Creators like JJ Abrams and Mindy Kaling have been released from their contracts amid the strikes, but Drew Barrymore will film on.
This is honestly pretty despicable. I don’t feel strongly about Drew Barrymore one way or the other, but it’s pretty low to pay lip service to your striking friends and then shoot your dumb talk show anyway. I wonder if she did this out of fear of retaliation or just to keep the show going.
But what do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
