Even though the writers strike that crippled talk shows has lifted, the three co-head writers for Drew Barrymore’s daytime show have declined to return, sources close to the production said.
It was not clear from the sources why the three writers are not returning.
The production sources said offers were extended to all three when they could be extended after the end of the strike, which was lifted on Sept. 27, and all three declined.
Barrymore was criticized after she announced in September that she would resume “The Drew Barrymore Show,” a daytime talk show, even though the strike by the Writers Guild of America had not yet been resolved.
Barrymore was dropped as the host of the National Book Awards in response.
She later walked back the decision, apologized to anyone who felt hurt, and said she would wait to resume production until the strike was over.
I think “forgive” is a strong word that implies some sort of relationship here, I don’t need a relationship built on trust to consume content. If I refused every good and service that I didn’t think had my best interest in mind I’d have starved long ago lol.
All I’m saying is if the standard for boycott is “someone did something I didn’t like one time” this community wouldn’t exist
You keep talking about this like it’s a boycott, but it’s not.
She acted in an incredibly shitty way towards the people who work for her, and they decided they could do better. That’s not a boycott, that’s just consequences.
What do you want to do, force those writers to go back to work for a shitty boss?
Think you should read my initial comment again, I’m specifically talking about the reaction in this thread.
I think you have an interesting point!
