Drew Barrymore is being admire for stopping mid - show to warmly approach one of her fans — something hoi polloi say Ellen would have never done .
Drew Barrymoreis truly god’s gift to us. Her talent is unmatched, her personality is genuine, and she is just an all-around good human.
Drew currently hosts her own talk show,The Drew Barrymore Show, where she interviews fellow celebs, shares human interest stories and uplifting news, and more. And recently, during one of her show’s tapings, shenoticed a fan was crying. The BTS moment was shared on the show’s TikTok where it has well over 21 million views:
We 💚 our audience members!#bts#behindthescenes#drewbarrymore
A visibly worried Drew sifts through audience members to check in on her sobbing fan. “Did anything happen? Whose ass do I have to kick?” Drew asks as she walks toward her.
Drew then learns a woman is crying because she “loves her so much.”
Relieved, Drew exclaims, “OH! Thank god it is nothing bad!”
Drew then shares how she was ready to defend her fan. “Did you see me coming over? I was like, ‘TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE! Because I will take them down. WHO MADE YOU CRY?'”
An IRL mad Drew Barrymore is something I never want to see!
Through tears, the woman — named Olivia — shares that Drew is her childhood idol and she “doesn’t want to bethatperson to cry.” Drew, however, reassures her that she wants Olivia to bethatperson.
The two embrace in a long hug…
…And then to further show her love, appreciation, and affection, Drew climbs onto Olivia’s lap.
Embracing each other, and, in true iconic Drew form, she apologizes for having “dumpling breath” before ending with, “It’s so funny you would say you don’t want to cry here. I cry here all the time.”
Ellen has been under fire for years for hertoxic workplace environmentand for just having manyproblematic momentson her show in general.
So, it feels refreshing for people to watch a very down-to-earth andunproblematic talk show host.
Someone who handles guests and audience members in a completely different way.
And it should also be noted that people loveKelly Clarkson— who hostsThe Kelly Clarkson Show— just as much as they love Drew. AMEN TO THAT!
