Drew Barrymore weighed in on her controversial decision to resume production on "The Drew Barrymore Show" amid the ongoing writers strike.
“I know there’s just nothing I can do that will make this OK for those it is not OK with. I fully accept that,” the actress and talk show host said in an Instagram post, which she deleted hours later.
Barrymore took the video down after criticism on social media, notably from her fellow members of the entertainment industry.
In the video Barrymore said that the situation is "so complex" and that her intentions "have never been in a place to upset or hurt anyone." She also issued a tearful apology to writers and unions.
"I don’t exactly know what to say because sometimes when things are so tough it’s hard to make decisions from that place," she said. So, all I can say is that I wanted to accept responsibility and no I don’t have a PR machine behind this."
