'The Drew Barrymore Show' began taping new episodes this week, despite little sign of resolution in the ongoing writers’ strike.

Barrymore tried to answer questions about why she would choose to continue the show amid the strike — and without her team of WGA writers.

“I certainly couldn’t have expected this kind of attention, and we aren’t going to break rules and we will be in compliance. I wanted to do this because as I said, this is bigger than me and there are other people’s jobs on the line,” she said.“I didn’t want to hide behind people, so I won’t, and I won’t polish this with bells and whistles and publicists and corporate rhetoric,” she said. “I’ll just stand out there and accept and be responsible.

“I weighed the scales and I thought, ‘If we could go on during a global pandemic and everything the world has experienced through 2020, why would this sideline us?’” she said. “So, I want to just put one foot in front of the other and make a show that’s there for people, regardless of anything else that’s happening in the world, because that’s when I think we all need something that wants to be there being very realistic in very realistic times. So that is my why.

In a statement released Sunday, Barrymore said that she personally owns the decision to resume production ofactor said in a statement. “We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind.”Already, Barrymore’s apology has not been well received.
