“I believe there’s nothing I can do or say in this moment to make it okay,” Barrymore said in an emotional video shared Friday. I fully accept that.”Barrymore’s show drew protest from the union after announcing last weekend they would resume production without WGA writers contributing. (SAG-AFTRA has said Barrymore is in compliance with her contract as host of the program and the production is not struck.) Barrymore said she wasn’t going to hide behind publicists and reiterated that she was taking full responsibility for the decision. “I certainly couldn’t have expected this kind of attention, and we aren’t going to break rules and we will be in compliance,” Barrymore concluded her video.
