Drew Barrymore slammed for now-deleted apology video

Drew Barrymore has deleted a video in which she apologised for resuming her eponymous talk show amid the ongoing writers’ strike.

Earlier this week, the Never Been Kissed star revealed that The Drew Barrymore Show would start production on its fourth season this week.

Barrymore faced significant and heated backlash, as her chat show is a “WGA-covered, struck show” under the ongoing Hollywood strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

On Friday (15 September), the 48-year-old addressed the controversy in an Instagram video in which she tearfully said she took “full responsibility for my actions”.

However, Barrymore’s video – along with her original post announcing that filming would be resuming – has since been removed from her page.
