Drew Barrymore Defends Talk Show Return Amid Strikes in a Tearful Video | THR News Video
Drew Barrymore is explaining why she made the controversial decision to return her talk show to production amid the ongoing Writers Guild strike.
In a video statement posted to her Instagram, Barrymore addressed her critics and went on to deny that a "PR" machine was behind the choice to resume 'The Drew Barrymore Show' without its WGA writers.
'The Drew Barrymore Show' is back but the host was notably silent on the controversy surrounding her show during the WGA strike. In the show's first new episode since May, Barrymore launched straight into her sit down with Shania Twain, at the singers Vegas farm - halfway across the country from her New York City studio, where she had previously been met with pickets after announcing plans to bring back her WGA-covered daytime talk show without WGA writers in the midst of the strike.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP) made the announcement on
Oct. 11, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter.'.

and SAG-AFTRA have been suspended
after SAG-AFTRA presented its most
recent proposal on October 11, AMPTP, via statement.

SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are
no longer moving us in a productive direction, AMPTP, via statement.

AMPTP of using "bully tactics.".
It is with profound disappointment
that we report the industry CEOs
have walked away from the
bargaining table after refusing
to counter our latest offer, SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
The companies are using the same failed
strategy they tried to inflict on the WGA
— putting out misleading information in
an attempt to fool our members into
abandoning our solidarity and putting
pressure on our negotiators. , SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
But, just like the writers,
our members are smarter than
that and will not be fooled, SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
The halted negotiations come as a major blow

SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July 14. .

AI protections and streaming residuals.
