The level at which Drew Barrymore is fucking up is INSANE
[Image ID: a pair of tweets from from Claire Willett (@clairwillett) from September 11th, 2023 that read:
I know Twitter is not a universal barometer but boy if I was Drew Barrymore’s PR folks I would be gravely concerned about the number of well-known actors on here basically saying “WE WILL NOT BE FORGETTING THIS”
they’ll be skipping your couch on the next press junket, ma’am
unclear if this is a bad-faith question or not but I’ll say that just within the last hour in my own twitter feed I have seen
Joshua Malina
Bradley Whitford
Evan Handler
Anson Mount
Lisa Ann Walter
Roxane Gay
/End ID]
The link in the tweet leads you to the tweet below.
[Image ID: Lisa Ann Walter QT'd (on September 11th, 2023) a tweet of hers from April 17th, 2023 that reads:
Hang out with me & my new sister @DrewBarrymore Tmw!
On @DrewBarrymoreTV
I love her.
And you can tell by my enthusiastic oversharing.
Featuring - the gross recipe me and my High School BFF slapped together.
The tweet includes three tweets with the two of them from Barrymore's show.
The QT reads:
Don’t know why this is going around again-but please note the date: Before both strikes.
I’m a unionist.
I’m proudly re-elected to #SagAftra National & LA Local board. I’m on the NegComm. I chair LA women’s committee and am on WAY too many others. I’m also WGA.
I Don’t X lines
/End ID]
Other tweets that she was talking about:
[Image ID: a tweet from Bradley Whitford on September 11th, 2023 that is a QT of Variety tweeting this article about Drew Barrymore owning the decision to come back and claiming she's not violating strike rules (yes she is because hers is a WGA contracted production). It reads:
Oh, you own it. For sure, @DrewBarrymore. And we’ll never forget it.
/End ID.]
I'm sorry, my anxiety is going up a bit with all of the messiness this post, so I'm not going to do the IDs anymore, and my phone is being mean. But here are others, starting with Evan Handler:
Anson Mount:
Before that he also retweeted Bradley Whitford's tweet, but I'm running out of room.
Roxane Gay:
And there was another one where she rt'd someone basically backhandedly slamming Drew Barrymore for being the host of this year's National Book Awards.
And then, saving the best for last, Joshua Malina has been going scorched earth on Barrymore and reminding people The View is also scabbing. Honestly love seeing it and highly recommend him as someone to follow. A lot of retweets of others as well as original tweets:
He's talking about a hat with the thing that let's custom text scroll. What the person he QT'd is referring to is his hat saying "Drew Barrymore is a Scab".
He actually started hounding her on Sunday, after it was announced very late in the day that she was coming back on Monday.
I love Josh Malina.
Fuck Drew Barrymore.
Also, fuck every celebrity who crosses the picket lines. (This includes Oprah (who also hasn't donated any or her billions to Maui and instead asked others to donate even though she also has a home there which she got through shady deals and wouldn't let anyone use it as a shelter in an emergency) and Brook Shield's who went today.)
(Also fuck other celebs who liked Drew's post about coming back including Lily Collins, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Bell, and Jennifer Garner and I'm honestly not surprised by the four of those, don't know enough about the first one.)
