Drew Barrymore and the Writers Guild of America are sparring over the actress’s talk show, which will resume this week amid the Hollywood strike.
, prompting protests and picketing from the Writers Guild of America outside her New York City taping on Monday. For more than four months, actors and performers have shown tremendous support for the writers strike, and Barrymore’s move raises questions about whether that support is beginning to crack.
Some social media users were calling Barrymore a “scab” for allowing her show to be taped amid the strike.The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said in a statement that the show “is produced under the Network Television Code which is a separate contract and is not struck. It is permissible work and Drew’s role as host does not violate the current strike rules.
Barrymore, whose representatives did not return a request for comment, acknowledged in her social media post that there’s conflicted feelings over her decision to return since she previously stepped down from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards as a way to support the strike“Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real time,” she wrote.
