Drew Barrymore is open and deeply honest with her fans. If she's got something going on, even with a sensitive issue in her past, then her audience will know about it, and can trust that she's telling the truth.

Recently she had Zoë Kravitz on her talk show to discuss Kravitz's directorial work on her new film Blink Twice.

In the conversation, Barrymore revealed that the movie's themes around substances made her reflect on her own history with alcohol, and the profound shame she still feels about it.

She told Kravitz:

"There's a lot about substances in the film. I was shocked to realize that part of my journey that I was looking to find, the trauma inside of me and what is it about, a big part of it was I used to be a blackout drinker...[the film] was an extraordinary journey for me to forgive myself, because I've put myself in situations I shouldn't have put myself in. And I felt so much shame about that, and I haven't had a drink in 5 years."

Her audience applauded Barrymore's sobriety journey, and Barrymore turned the conversation back to themes of the film.

"It is not only a film about the things that can happen to us, but it made me think about the things we have done to ourselves."



Reactions from her fans after she posted a clip from the interview were supportive.

Some pointed out that Barrymore's notoriously "free" childhood didn't encourage healthy relationships with substances.

'Leonardo DiCaprio's 1991 'Teen Beat' Interview Is Going Viral After Nikki Glaser Mocked It At The Golden Globes

During her monologue at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, host Nikki Glaser wasted no time roasting the room, and no target loomed larger than Hollywood’s most enduring bachelor mystery, Leonardo DiCaprio.

The 41-year-old comedian, returning to host for a second consecutive year on Sunday, Jan. 11, took aim at nominees including Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Kevin Hart, and DiCaprio during her opening remarks at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. But it was DiCaprio’s dating history—a subject that appears to age in reverse, much like his girlfriends—that landed the hardest.

In another bid to get back into the good graces of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's fans, gun rights poster boy Kyle Rittenhouse claimed fluoride in drinking water is "making people gay."

Rittenhouse fell out of favor with the MAGAsphere in 2024 for criticizing their Dear Leader on his 2nd Amendment stance. After deleting the critical X post which spawned rumors among Trump's MAGA minions that he was secretly transgender, Rittenhouse stayed off social media until December 2025 when he announced he was married.
