Drew Barrymore announced on Sunday her decision to halt the upcoming season premiere of her namesake daytime talk series, "The Drew Barrymore Show," a reversal that answered to mounting backlash over Barrymore's initial plans to return to the show despite the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
"I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show's premiere until the strike is over," Barrymore said in an Instagram post shared on Sunday morning.
"I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today," she continued. "We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon."
