Drew Barrymore shocked everyone after she announced that she would pause the premiere of her talk show The Drew Barrymore Show due to the WGA strikes of over 11,000 TV and film writers. She took to Instagram to post about the same and apologized to everyone on the internet as well as her team. Barrymore went on to state that she "truly hoped for a resolution for the entire industry.
Drew Barrymore said that she had "listened to everyone" and was making the decision to pause her show's premiere until the strike was over. She added that she had no words to express her "deepest apologies" to everyone she hurt. Barrymore also apologized to her team that worked on the show as they had "really tried to find" their way forward.
"And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon," Barrymore said while concluding her statement.
Drew Barrymore took the decision to pause the show after receiving immense backlash from the Writers Guild of America (WGA). She was called out after she decided to go ahead with the production of her show despite the ongoing strikes in the country. However, after assessing the situation, she took the decision to pause the show as she was slammed a lot by netizens.
Drew Barrymore also stated how she will be revealing the new launch date soon, as the premier was initially scheduled for September 18, 2023. Many people applauded Drew for pausing the show and standing with the writers and the people of Hollywood who have been on strike, with one person even saying:
It is worth noting that this is not the first apology that Drew Barrymore has posted. Over the weekend, she posted a video, which has now been deleted, where she was talking about how she wanted to bring her show back. She said that she wanted to do it as the show was bigger than her and because "there are other people’s jobs on the line.”
Now that Drew Barrymore has announced that she would be pausing the production, fans cannot stop praising her and showering her with support.
