"Drew Barrymore Faces Backlash for Apology Video Amid Talk Show Strike"

Drew Barrymore has issued a tearful apology and taken "full responsibility" for resuming production of her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, amid the ongoing writers' strike. The actress faced backlash as her show is a "WGA-covered, struck show" under the ongoing Hollywood strikes by the Writers Guild of America. Barrymore's video apology has since been deleted, but she expressed regret for her actions and apologized to writers and unions. The WGA has been on strike since May, demanding increased wages, higher streaming residuals, and job security against AI.
