Consequences. Nobody is going to want to destroy their reputation by working for her now.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Barrymore found herself in hot water last month when she announced that her daytime talk show would make its fourth season debut without its striking writers.

A week later, after Barrymore faced backlash and at least a few panicked guest cancellations, she revealed that she’d be reversing course, pausing the show‘s return until the WGA strike concluded.

But with the WGA strike now over, the show is set to come back Oct. 16, and those writers — Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon and Liz Koe — have declined an offer to return with it, according to sources.

On Sept. 11, which was the show’s first day back in production, they told THR that they’d found out that Drew was returning, not from their boss or colleagues, but rather via audience ticket giveaways that had been posted on social media.

As a SAG-AFTRA rep stated at the time, “The Drew Barrymore Show is produced under the Network Television Code, which is a separate contract and is not struck.

It is permissible work and Drew’s role as host does not violate the current strike rules.” Nevertheless, Barrymore preemptively defended the decision to bring her show back in a now infamous Sept. 10 social media post, which quickly made her a target.
