Totally get it, she obviously thinks she can do it without writers, let’s see.
You ever see Ashley Simpson singing on SNL? Yeah, Drew Barrymore gonna be like that.
As the article notes, writers for her show are governed under a separate contract which was not being struck. It was actually a cool move on her part to respond to the backlash with further solidarity and push back the show, since no one on her team was actually called to strike.
Also I find it weird that it’s “struck” and not “striked” like how being hanged is very different from being hung.

in fact, she tried to keep it secret and didn’t tell them, instead
She literally posted about it on social media, which is how you know about it lol

No, you’re misunderstanding that portion of the article.
The Actors agreement allows talk shows to continue with SAG/AFTRA members, but the writers strike covered the writers on the show. They tried to restart production without writers (which is possible, Late Night did it in the last writers strike).
So even though the Actors strike is still happening, shows like this can use union actors (like Drew Barrymore) now. And they can use union writers now, too, because the writers strike is over.
Can’t say I blame them. Barrymore really screwed up her reputation here.
Did she have a stroke? The thumbnail makes it look that way. Either way, scabs can cry about consequences later.
Didn’t know these vapid shows needed writers.

Will be interesting to see if the writers already have other jobs lined up.
Almost certainly the case, given that they’re all 3 Emmy noms. They’ll be scooped up immediately.
Probably do, I would of been looking for work the second she pulled that shit.
ChatGPT, you’re up!
