Drew Barrymore is making waves with her latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, and by waves, we mean uncomfortably cozy caresses! In a clip that’s gone viral faster than a cat meme, Barrymore, the talk show maestro, decided Oprah Winfrey’s personal space was her new vacation home.
Picture this: Barrymore, the Never Been Kissed star, snuggling up on the couch with Oprah, preaching about the importance of connecting with the audience. It’s like a crash course in “How to Make Oprah Uncomfortable 101.” Barrymore takes Oprah’s hand in a grip tighter than your grandma’s hugs at Thanksgiving and goes full-on spa day, massaging away any remnants of personal space.
But oh, Oprah, the queen of grace, couldn’t hide her discomfort, even if she tried. Barrymore, however, was in her own bubble of excitement, oblivious to Oprah’s subtle cues to establish a no-touching zone.
Lucky for Oprah, Barrymore’s thrill-meter hit the roof, and like a kid who found the last cookie in the jar, she let go of Oprah’s hand faster than you can say “awkward encounter.”
In a plot twist worthy of a sitcom, Oprah graciously commended Barrymore for steering her ship through the stormy seas of daytime television during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s like Oprah was handing out compliments while silently pleading for some breathing room.
Viewers, being the detectives of discomfort they are, flooded social media to dissect this dynamic duo’s cringe-worthy connection. One brave soul wrote, “She’s really creeping me out now. It’s just too weird.” Another chimed in, “Drew is too overbearing and cringey, and it doesn’t seem genuine the way she fawns all over her guests!!”
And if you thought the hand-holding escapade was the peak of awkward, let’s not forget Barrymore’s other headline-making cuddle fest with Brooke Shields. Apparently, discussing “needy moms” brought them closer than your favorite rom-com duo.
In the wild world of The Drew Barrymore Show, personal space is a myth, and awkwardness is the name of the game. Tune in for the laughs, the cringes, and the unexpected touchy-feely moments that’ll leave you questioning your own boundaries!
