Drew Barrymore has been receiving criticism from her fans after a clip of her recent interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey was released. The clip showed the Charlie's Angels actress getting rather touchy with Oprah as they sat together on a couch while discussing the need for a live audience in the land of talk shows. Drew was seen holding Oprah's hand tight and caressing her arm throughout the clip, which did not sit well with some viewers.
One commenter said, "Drew, everyone doesn't want their hands held boo." Another expressed that while they love Drew, she was coming off as "over bearing and over the top" and "cringy". It is clear that while Barrymore has been known for her authentic approach to daytime TV hosting, this incident seemed to have crossed a boundary. An Instagram user summed up the situation saying, "Oprah's body language was so clear she wanted her hand back."
In September, Barrymore also received criticism for being a 'scab' when she announced plans to bring her show back to television amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. However, she later recanted her decision and remained off-air until the strike ended. Despite the incident with Oprah, it remains to be seen if Barrymore will be able to retain her viewership.
