Drew Barrymore is in hot water after she announced the return of her daytime talk show amid the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.
On Sunday, the 48-year-old actress-turned-host made the announcement on Instagram and explained her choice.
First, she explained why she backed out of hosting the MTV Movie and TV Awards this summer.
“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,” she wrote.
“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. And to be clear, our talk show actually wrapped on April 20th so we never had to shut down the show,” she continued, speaking of “The Drew Barrymore Show.” “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.
