#SCAB #WGAStrike #SAGAFTRAstrike #DrewBarrymore
Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore deleted her apology video for resuming production on her talk show after Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing shamed her for "undermining union solidarity."
🇳🇱
What a disgrace, we wont even let people admit their wrong and apologize anymore :( Dont get me wrong, nothing wrong with criticizing her decision... but to still lay it on thick after they decided to not even go through it and actively admitting they were wrong... yea thats not the right way to respond.
@freemo -- She was advised from her own writers on her show that this was crossing the picket line.
She only changed course because of the very public backlash.
Once a #scab, always a scab.
#DrewBarrymore destroyed her reputation on her own. No sympathy here.
> She was advised from her own writers on her show that this was crossing the picket line.
She certainly was advised that. And ultimately didnt do it. Therefore while starting the show would have been crossing the picket line, as advised, she did not follow through and never crossed it (despite her almost having done so).
> She only changed course because of the very public backlash.
Who cares, she didnt actually cross it... in fact she went one step further and didnt only not cross, but admited she was wrong... I am proud she had the courage to admit she is wrong, that takes a lot of character (regardless of the motivation).
@jeffowski Oh she actually started up production and paid people to come in. You are right I didnt know that, I thought they didnt start production quite that quickly. I'll have to verify that production was live and that info is accurate, but if it is then I agree, she did, in fact, cross the line. While I dont support the strike personally I would agree with you that if you do support the strike then he is now a SCAB and is worth that criticism then. I rescind my original comment on the condition that the new information you provided is accurate then.
@freemo -- There are even reports of audience members being thrown out if they had a WGA pin on, and later in the week, staff were SEARCHING PEOPLE'S BAGS for WGA pins that may have been given to them by the picketing writers outside.
Wow thats weird... what were they scared a striker would do? like was was the thinking there?
@freemo -- She held production for a whole week while her writers picketed in front of her show. She definitely CROSSED the picket line.
Seems you don't have the full information. This is why blind fandom for celebrities is dangerous. Double standards abound.
