Meanwhile, Drew earlier admitted that although she would like to talk about her own life, she wants to be more responsible for sharing her children.
‘My life with my children, my feelings, it’s all on the table – but [Olive and Frankie themselves] is not, ‘she said in her new talk show The Drew Barrymore Show.
“Because of my life experiences, I do not sell my brand to my children. I will not do that. But ignoring that part of my life would make me an automaton.
“So it’s ingenious to figure out how to put it in the omelette and fold it in, in a way that feels right to me.”
