Drew Barrymore Reverses Decision On Talk Show Return, Will Shut Down Until Strikes Are Resolved

Drew Barrymore has announced that she is reversing her decision to continue filming The Drew Barrymore Show during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Barrymore had recently announced that she planned to return to her talk show for its fourth season without writers, who have been on strike since May. As the WGA covers the show, Barrymore’s decision was met with massive backlash on social media, with many calling her a scab for violating strike rules. This prompted Barrymore to apologize while stating that her show would still continue filming. This, however, fueled the fire of controversy surrounding her behavior during a strike even more.
