<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The existence of a script for “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy Gilmore 2</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” has been confirmed by Drew Barrymore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The daytime talk show host revealed the news in a preview clip from Friday’s episode of her eponymous show.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want it. I need it. And I stayed up last night with my daughter watching ‘Billy Madison,’” Barrymore says in the video. “I sent Sandler a video of that, and then he sent me another video back, and I’m waiting to see if he’s confirming about the ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">script</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later, she seemed to confirm the movie’s existence after checking her phone. “This just in, I have breaking news,” Barrymore says. “I’ll just say this, from my source, that it is in process.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, “There is a process, and that process is in process.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rumors began circulating when Christopher McDonald</span>, the actor who played villain Shooter McGavin in the original film, first shared that a script for the sequel existed.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I saw </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-sandler"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adam [Sandler]</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about two weeks ago, and he says to me, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this,&#8217;” he told Cleveland radio’s &#8220;Ken Carman Show&#8221; in late March. “I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘How about that,’ and he shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2. Maybe you should cut that out because I don’t wanna be a liar, but he did show me that, and I thought, ‘Well, that would be awesome.’ So it’s in the works. Fans demand it, damn it!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sandler discussed the leak, too, per <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10115498-adam-sandler-shooter-mcgavin-actor-wasnt-supposed-to-leak-happy-gilmore-2-news">Bleacher Report</a>. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;[McDonald] texted me after the fact, &#8216;By the way, that thing you told me not to talk about, I talked about.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s good news.&#8217; All I did was tell him, see I did standup, I did a comedy special and a lot of my buddies came by and Shooter was one of them and I said, &#8216;Dude, we&#8217;ve been talking about a Happy 2 and we&#8217;re working on some stuff.&#8217; That&#8217;s all I told Shooter,” the comedian said during a Wednesday appearance on the “Dan Patrick Show.”  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I said, &#8216;But don&#8217;t tell anybody. Don&#8217;t tell anybody.&#8217; And then he, you know he kept it mostly private. He told a couple of DJs about it. They usually are great at secrets, don&#8217;t you think?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick replied, &#8220;You should&#8217;ve known not to trust him,&#8221; which prompted Sandler to say he was &#8220;excited that Shooter was in the room with me. I love him.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Happy Gilmore” is a popular 1996 American sports comedy starring Sandler playing an unsuccessful ice hockey player who competes in a golf tournament in an attempt to save his grandmother&#8217;s home from foreclosure. The original movie earned $39 million on a $12 million budget. The film has a cult following in the golf community especially. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drew-barrymore"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drew Barrymore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said she’s not embarrassed about being </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/divorce"><span style="font-weight: 400;">divorced</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> three times; instead, she feels “liberated.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 49-year-old </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">discussed her split-ups on an episode of her eponymous talk show this week. The conversation started as she reflected on Jennifer Lopez’s new single, “Can’t Get Enough,” which includes lyrics where Lopez jokes about going down the aisle for the fourth time with her most recent marriage to Ben Affleck.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I had so much shame around divorce and, for some reason, something happened, and I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m no longer willing to feel this way.&#8217; And it just lifted from me,&#8221; Barrymore said of her own experience, per </span><a href="https://people.com/drew-barrymore-divorce-totally-liberated-over-shame-8612430"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She went on to describe how she sees divorce as preserving &#8220;the precious commodity we have on this planet, which is only our time.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;And when you&#8217;re truly in a situation that isn&#8217;t functioning the way that, optimally, it hopes and wishes to be, we accept that, and we improve our quality of life by moving forward. Divorce now, to me, I don&#8217;t have shame around it. I&#8217;m like, totally liberated,&#8221; Barrymore added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “50 First Dates” star was married to Jeremy Thomas from 1994 until 1995 and then to Tom Green from 2001 until 2002. Barrymore tied the knot with Will Kopelman in 2012 and had two children with him: daughters Olive, 11, and Frankie, 9. The pair split in 2016.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Talk show guest and famed singer Marie Osmond agreed that divorce could be positive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She said that while she thinks married couples should be “doing everything possible to make a marriage work,” she also stressed that both parties should do the work.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I also believe that there are some divorces made in heaven,” Osmond told Barrymore. “In my situation, I divorced at 50 and I had eight children that I needed to support, take care of. I was basically the breadwinner.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Osmond, 64, was married to Steve Craig from 1982 until 1985 before divorcing. She was married to Brian Blosil from 1986 until 2007. In 2011, she remarried her first husband, and they are still together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barrymore concluded the segment by giving Lopez a shoutout, saying, &#8220;J-Lo, I love you. I really appreciate, again, [for] you bringing empowerment to where most people go to shame. We&#8217;ve all been in it. So, go J-Lo.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>During the &#8220;The Drew Barrymore Show,&#8221; the 48-year-old host sat down with Winfrey as the two discussed the necessity of a live studio audience for daytime talk shows. Barrymore then reached out to hold Winfrey&#8217;s hand and held it close to her face as they continued talking. At one point, while she was holding Winfrey&#8217;s hand, Barrymore also started stroking Winfrey&#8217;s arm.</p>

<p>&#8220;You need to dial the touchy-feely neediness back like 10-fold,&#8221; one account posted.</p>

<p>Winfrey said she wasn&#8217;t uncomfortable with it, adding that she was &#8220;actually comforted by the stroking of the arm.&#8221; She then joked that she told her longtime partner, Stedman Graham, he needed to start stroking her arm that way.</p>
<p>Winfrey said she&#8217;d never seen Barrymore do that before but thought it was an &#8220;endearing&#8221; action.</p>
<p>Barrymore has been criticized in the past for her interviewing style. In March, the talk show host faced a backlash when she got down on her knees and knelt with trans-identifying male influencer Dylan Mulvaney.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/writers-guild-of-america"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Writers Guild of America (WGA)</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> writers have decided not to return to “The Drew Barrymore Show” following drama surrounding the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/strike"><span style="font-weight: 400;">strike</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which recently came to an end.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The daytime talk show’s eponymous host got into trouble last month when she decided to keep the program going amid the ongoing work stoppage. Even though </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drew-barrymore"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barrymore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> technically wasn’t breaking the rules because her show was exempt if certain parameters were met, the host faced extreme backlash from both employees and fans who accused her of being a scab.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now anonymous sources </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/drew-barrymore-show-writers-decline-return-1235606269/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tell</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The Hollywood Reporter that three WGA writers who were invited back to “The Drew Barrymore Show” have declined the positions. It is expected to return to television on October 16.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All three </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">writers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &#8212; Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon, and Liz Koe &#8212; were on the picket line, the outlet noted. They spoke with THR on September 11 when they found out Barrymore’s show was supposed to come back on the air despite the ongoing strike.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is a bummer to hear that the show is going back because it sends a message that union writers are not valuable,” White told THR at the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I understand that everybody has to do what they feel is best for them. For me and the WGA writers on the show, it’s important for us to stick with our union. We deserve a fair contract, so we are here today outside,” Kinnon agreed.</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-45152">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">White said she had “no comment” when asked if she planned to return to the talk show after the strike ended.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In mid-September, after opting to bring her talk show back on air as the WGA strike dragged on, Barrymore said, “I own this choice.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind,” she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By September 18, the 48-year-old actress had done an about-face as the negative press continued. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” Barrymore </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/drew-barrymore-does-about-face-pauses-talk-show-until-strike-ends"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”</span></p>
<p>The WGA strike came to an end on September 27 after 148 days.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Drew Barrymore Show” was scheduled to return on Monday, September 18, without her three union writers. It had already resumed taping last week, which resulted in picketers showing up outside CBS Studios. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We support Drew’s decision to pause the show’s return and understand how complex and difficult this process has been for her,” a CBS Media Ventures spokesperson told </span><a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/drew-barrymore-daytime-talk-show-not-returning-strike-1235725739/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a statement.</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other daytime shows have resumed and are technically not breaking the rules of the strike under certain conditions, per </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/18/drew-barrymore-postpones-talk-show-return-writers-strike-backlash"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Guardian</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. That includes not promoting work covered by television, theatrical, or streaming contracts. “The View” and other programs have returned to television because they also fall under the “Network Code,” which makes them technically exempt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show” were also scheduled to come back on air Monday but have now decided to take a pause.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barrymore said in a now-deleted video that she was trying to make the right decision for her employees while still respecting the terms of the strike. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I know there is just nothing I can do that will make this OK to those that it is not OK with. I fully accept that,&#8221; the talk show host said in the video posted to Instagram Friday. &#8220;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.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I certainly couldn’t have expected this kind of attention,” she continued. “I wanted to do this because as I said, this is bigger than me, and there are other people’s jobs on the line.”</span></p>


Drew Barrymore Does About-Face, Pauses Talk Show Until Strike Ends

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drew-barrymore" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drew Barrymore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is no longer hosting an awards ceremony put on by The National Book Foundation due to her decision to resume filming her </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">talk show</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> amid the writers and actors </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">strike</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in Hollywood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Foundation laid out their reasoning with a </span><a href="https://twitter.com/nationalbook/status/1701718719745978601?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on X they shared on Tuesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The National Book Award is an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/books" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">literature</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and the incomparable contributions of writers to our culture. In light of the announcement that ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ will resume production, the National Book Foundation has rescinded Ms. Barrymore’s invitation to host the 74th National Book Awards Ceremony. Our commitment is to ensure that the focus of the awards remains on celebrating writers and books, and we are grateful to Ms. Barrymore and her team for their understanding in this situation,” the post said.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This announcement was made after “The Drew Barrymore Show” attracted crowds of picketers outside CBS Studios on Monday. The 48-year-old celebrity justified her decision to resume filming by saying that the talk show would not use WGA writers and would therefore be in compliance with WGA and SAG-AFTRA rules. In May, Barrymore stepped down as host of the MTV Movie &amp; TV Awards to show solidarity with the Writers Guild.</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-6771">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I made a choice to walk away from the MTV, film and television awards because I was the host and it had a direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with which was studios, streamers, film, and television. It was also in the first week of the strike and so I did what I thought was the appropriate thing at the time to stand in solidarity with the writers,” Barrymore </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxBeKAZJ4Og/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram Sunday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress noted how her talk show went on summer hiatus on April 20 before the WGA strike began, so they never had to shut down. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“However, I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me,” she went on. “I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the writers from “The Drew Barrymore Show” showed up on the picket line Monday. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think in general, this is obviously bigger than us three writers on &#8216;The Drew Barrymore Show.&#8217; It is a bummer to hear that the show is going back because it sends a message that union writers are not valuable,” writer Chelsea White told </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/drew-barrymore-show-audience-kicked-out-1235587064/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hollywood Reporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “And it goes directly against what the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, all the unions are trying to band together to stand up against the greedy studios.”</span></p>


Drew Barrymore Axed As Awards Ceremony Host After Her Talk Show Returns Amid Hollywood Strike

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/drew-barrymore-ushered-away-after-man-rushes-stage-i-need-to-see-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drew Barrymore&#8217;s</a> alleged stalker was arrested in New York on Thursday and later freed after the man had made multiple attempts to reach the actress during the week, including rushing the stage at a 92nd Street Y event at which he demanded to see her.</p>
<p>The 43-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., was arrested by Southampton Town Police at 11:59 p.m. local time and booked in relation to a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge of stalking, according to a press release from Lt. Todd Spencer, a spokesperson for the department, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/drew-barrymore-alleged-stalker-chad-michael-busto-arrested-new-york-1235574423/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.</p>
<p>He was held overnight and during a Friday morning arraignment, he was reportedly warned by Judge Barbara Wilson to stay away from the talk show host, a Southampton court source told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/25/drew-barrymores-stalker-freed-by-li-judge-warned-to-stay-away-from-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NY Post</a>.</p>
<p>The man, who has a long criminal record, was then freed by the judge because of the state&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ny-major-crime-soars-police-blame-bail-reform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bail reform</a> laws, the outlet noted. In 2019, a misdemeanor fourth-degree stalking charge was no longer bail-eligible following legislation that prevents judges from being able to send criminals of most misdemeanors to jail.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the crazed fan was detained and released after he had been located going door to door in Barrymore&#8217;s neighborhood allegedly asking residents where the actress lived.</p>
<p>During a follow-up investigation, the department&#8217;s detectives were notified of the fan&#8217;s alleged conduct and prior reported incidents, which &#8220;led to facts that substantiated a charge for stalking,&#8221; according to the department, THR noted. On Thursday afternoon, he was taken into custody.</p>
<p>On Monday, the 48-year-old actress was talking with singer and actor Reneé Rapp during an event at a cultural center in Manhattan when the alleged stalker approached, interrupting the discussion, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/drew-barrymore-rushed-nyc-stage-renee-rapp-man-yelling-know-approaches-rcna101197" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> reported.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></strong></p>
<p>Barrymore was discussing her career when she heard someone yelling her name, &#8220;Drew Barrymore,&#8221; and reportedly shouting his own name. It was then that the talk show host&#8217;s expression changed, and she said, &#8220;Oh my God! Yes! Hi!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know who I am,&#8221; the man reportedly continued yelling. &#8220;I need to see you at some point while you&#8217;re in New York, okay?&#8221;</p>
<p>Rapp&#8217;s body language seemed to change rapidly as the man got closer to the stage. The singer then stood up, put her arm around Barrymore, and escorted her out of the room. In the clip, two people who look like security guards intercepted the man and escorted him out. There was no police report on the incident filed, the outlet noted.</p>

<p>&#8220;But then we saw Reneé kick into protective mode,&#8221; the person added. &#8220;Then he said his name and started to get more aggressive so we all realized something was off.&#8221;</p>

Drew Barrymore Ushered Away After Man Rushes Stage: ‘I Need To See You’

actress

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/steven-spielberg"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steven Spielberg</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said he saw firsthand some of the challenges </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drew-barrymore"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drew Barrymore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> experienced during childhood but couldn’t do much to intervene.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 76-year-old filmmaker recalled what it was like having Barrymore on the set of his cult classic science-fiction film, “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” (1982), when she was just seven years old. The actress said in an interview published in </span><a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/drew-barrymore-show-profile.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vulture</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that Spielberg was “the only person in my life to this day that ever was a parental figure.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Academy Award winner eventually became Barrymore’s godfather after declining her request that he step in as her dad. Her birth father, the late actor John Drew Barrymore, was abusive and an alcoholic, the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spielberg didn’t shatter the little girl’s illusion that E.T. was real and not just a robot. He even said to have kept operators on hand so Barrymore could eat lunch with her “co-star.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I didn’t want to burst the bubble,” Spielberg said of keeping up the ruse. “So I simply said, ‘It’s okay, E.T. is so special E.T. has eight assistants. I am the director, I only have one.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The article also noted how Spielberg would tell Barrymore to remove her bright red lipstick when she showed up on set. The actress previously described her <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/steven-spielberg-helpless-drew-barrymore-et-robbed-childhood-1235634964/">tumultuous</a> childhood, which included using marijuana when she was ten and snorting cocaine at 12. Barrymore did her first stint in rehab at 12 years old.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She was staying up way past her bedtime, going to places she should have only been hearing about, and living a life at a very tender age that I think robbed her of her childhood,” Spielberg told the publication. “Yet I felt very helpless because I wasn’t her dad. I could only kind of be a consigliere to her.”</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-14100">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barrymore also spent time with Spielberg and his family “on weekends; he gave her a cat she named Gertie and took her to Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the same interview, Barrymore spoke about her tumultuous relationship with her mother, Jaid Barrymore. The actress accused tabloid outlets of twisting her words when they reported that Barrymore was looking forward to her mom’s death, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/drew-barrymore-scolds-tabloids-for-claiming-she-cannot-wait-until-her-mom-is-dead"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>


On the set of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Steven Spielberg ‘Felt Helpless’ Seeing Drew Barrymore ‘Robbed Of Her Childhood’

Steven Spielberg 'Felt Helpless' Seeing Drew Barrymore 'Robbed Of Her Childhood' 

Steven Spielberg

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drew-barrymore"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drew Barrymore</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> took tabloids to task for publishing headlines about her saying she’s looking forward to her estranged </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mother</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Jaid Barrymore’s death.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The situation stemmed from a recent interview with the 48-year-old former child star in </span><a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/drew-barrymore-show-profile.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. While discussing friends who have lost parents, Barrymore talked about her complicated relationship with her mother.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“All their moms are gone, and my mom’s not. And I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t have that luxury.’ But I cannot wait,” the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">actress</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t want to live in a state where I wish someone to be gone sooner than they’re meant to be so I can grow. I actually want her to be happy and thrive and be healthy. But I have to f***ing grow in spite of her being on this planet.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A short time later during the same interview, Barrymore seemed to walk back her original comments. “I dared to say it, and I didn’t feel good,” she said. “I do care. I’ll never not care. I don’t know if I’ve ever known how to fully guard, close off, not feel, build the wall up.”</span></p>
<p>After tabloids, including Page Six, picked up the story and published headlines claiming that Barrymore wished her mom was dead, the actress headed to social media to clarify her statements.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know what, to all you tabloids out there, you have been f***ing with my life since I was 13 years old. I have never said that I wish my mother was dead,&#8221; Barrymore told <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtIAMOQAkiK/">Instagram</a> followers in a video message. &#8220;How dare you put those words in my mouth. I have been vulnerable, and tried to figure out a very difficult, painful relationship, while admitting it is difficult to do while a parent is alive.&#8221;</p>

<p>She continued: &#8220;And that, for those of us who have to figure that out, in real time, cannot wait, as in they cannot wait for the time, not that the parent is dead. Don&#8217;t twist my words around or ever say that I wish my mother was dead. I have never said that. I never would.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The talk show host has previously discussed her experiences growing up in Hollywood with her mom Jaid as her manager. She recalled being given a lot of freedom and being exposed to adult situations, including being taken to Studio 54 as a child. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barrymore went to rehab at the age of 12 for drug and alcohol abuse and was placed into a psychiatric ward in California at 13 at her mother’s request. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think she created a monster, and she didn’t know what to do with the monster,” the “50 First Dates” actress told Howard Stern during a 2021 interview.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During a 2022 interview, the actress took responsibility for her actions, saying she wasn’t an easy child to raise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Daughters to mothers, I think we have a predisposed expectation where we don&#8217;t want you to be selfish,&#8221; Barrymore told </span><a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/20220620143449/drew-barrymore-difficult-relationship-estranged-mother-revelation/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hello Magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;My mom was selfish too and it screwed me up, but you know what, I carried that with me and I acted from a place of a wounded child who also felt like they had to be an adult too quickly, and I didn&#8217;t understand the parent-child dynamic.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;As selfish as my mom was, I have to give her a lot of room too because I was not easy,&#8221; she said, describing her “wild child” teen years. &#8220;Our life was set up for crash and burn disaster, I was completely out of control.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;She did not know how to control me anymore,&#8221; Barrymore said. &#8220;These were very painful things for both of us to go through…Her choices came from things that were real for her.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>Barrymore spent a few moments talking to the woman, who said she was just a huge fan and was feeling a little overwhelmed — and afterward, the show&#8217;s official Instagram account shared video of the exchange on Thursday.</p>

<p>The actress was seated on set with her guests when she noticed that a woman in the audience was crying. Barrymore got to her feet, asking, &#8220;Are you okay? Did anything happen? Whose a** do I have to kick?&#8221;</p>
<p>The audience laughed as Barrymore crossed the set to talk to the woman, who waved her hands to fan herself as she got closer. &#8220;She loves you so much,&#8221; the woman&#8217;s friend explained.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh! Oh, God, thank God it&#8217;s nothing bad,&#8221; Barrymore said as the woman reassured her that she was okay. &#8220;Did you see me coming up here? I was like, tell me where they are! Because I will take them down, who made you cry?&#8221;</p>
<p>The audience continued to laugh as the woman regained her composure, explaining that Barrymore had been her &#8220;childhood idol,&#8221; but that she hadn&#8217;t wanted to be &#8220;that person,&#8221; the one who got emotional during the taping — and Barrymore interrupted.</p>

<p>&#8220;Oh, screw that, be that person!&#8221; she said, and she walked around the barrier and into the audience seating area to give the woman, who said her name was Olivia, a hug.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why I have the urge to do this,&#8221; Barrymore joked, sitting on the woman&#8217;s lap and hugging her again. &#8220;This is such an honor for me to meet you, I&#8217;m sorry, I have dumpling breath.&#8221;</p>
<p>Getting up to go back to taping, Barrymore added, &#8220;It&#8217;s so funny that you would say that you don&#8217;t want to cry here, I cry here all the time.&#8221;</p>

Drew Barrymore Jumps Into Action When Fan Bursts Into Tears: ‘Whose A** Do I Have To Kick?’

Drew Barrymore Jumps Into Action When Fan Bursts Into Tears

<p>Actresses Brooke Shields and Drew Barrymore shared their personal experiences with their own ever-present and &#8220;needy and weird&#8221; stage moms during a recent interview.</p>
<p>Shields, who has been in headlines recently because of her Hulu documentary &#8220;Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,&#8221; joined her friend and fellow grown-up child star for Tuesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Drew Barrymore Show&#8221; – and Barrymore got right down to brass tacks.</p>

<p>The &#8220;E.T.&#8221; actress asked Shields whether her mother, Teri Shields, had ever crossed the line — a line that Jaid Barrymore had crossed – and dated the same men that her daughter had.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, because she was in love with me &#8230; I was her main focus. Both of us were cut off from our sexuality,&#8221; Shields replied, adding that her mother at the time had been so focused on helping her with her career that she had not really seemed interested in men at all.</p>
<p>Barrymore responded by joking that perhaps her own mother had been a little bit in love with her as well, but that she had showed it in a different way: &#8220;My mom was so enamored with me that she wanted to be with the people I was with.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I get it. It’s so needy and weird,&#8221; Shields replied.</p>
<p>Shields went on to explain that, for a number of years, her mother had been present and a part of every interview that she gave.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;No one’s going to get you. I’m going to be there. I’m there first. You’re mine. I’m not going to give you to somebody,'&#8221; Shields explained her mother&#8217;s rationale, adding that it was presented &#8220;under the guise of protection, but it was more ownership and fear, I think.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;But to emerge from it not angry or jaded … it’s something in your character. It’s in my character,&#8221; Shields said to Barrymore of their shared experience.</p>
<p>Shields also spoke in the interview about her take on the #MeToo movement — especially after being sexualized in Hollywood as a young teenager.</p>
