Caption: Two people claim they were ejected from The Drew Barrymore Show for supporting strike. Dominic Turiczek claimed via X/Twitter that he was kicked out of the taping of Drew Barrymore's talk show in New York because he wore a "Writers Guild on Strike" badge. ”We took pins & went in, got kicked out, & verbally assaulted by @DrewBarrymore's crew. It's clear they don't support #WGAStrong, writers or fans! #DrewTheRightThing So we took shirts and joined (the picket line). F**k that.” In a statement to Variety, a spokesperson for the show addressed the allegation. ”Due to heightened security concerns today, we regret that two audience members were not permitted to attend or were not allowed access.” “Drew was completely unaware of the incident and we are in the process of reaching out to the affected audience members to offer them new tickets.” The news comes after Drew defended her decision to resume production on her show on Monday amid the strikes. Officials from the SAG-AFTRA actors' union have confirmed that she is not breaking their strike rules as the host of the show, however, some members of the WGA writers' guild are concerned that the show is violating their strike. Around 15 people gathered on the picket line outside CBS on Monday morning to protest the actress' decision to resume her show, which will return on 18 September.
