In the video, Barrymore admits that her decision to resume production was a difficult one, and that her intentions were never to hurt or upset anyone. She also issued a tearful apology to the writers and unions.
The WGA strike began in May, and has since seen a number of high-profile celebrities, including Barrymore, express their support for the cause. However, Barrymore has since come under fire for her decision to resume production on her show without her writers.
The strike has been ongoing for over five months, and the WGA has yet to reach an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The WGA is pushing for better pay and regulations for artificial intelligence on-screen, as well as an increase in residual payments for streaming services.
The situation remains unresolved, and it is unclear when the strike will end. In the meantime, Barrymore has faced significant criticism for her decision to resume production without her writers. She has since issued an apology, and has expressed her hope that the situation will be resolved soon.
