Barrymore received strong backlash when she decided to return before the strike had ended. She initially defended the move, saying the decision “is bigger than me.” But the controversy continued to grow, with the E.T. star drawing intense criticism from the WGA and her fellow actors.
She issued a tearful apology video which she later took down after even more criticism.
“I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” Barrymore said in her apology video last month on Instagram. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”
