Totally get it, she obviously thinks she can do it without writers, let’s see.

You ever see Ashley Simpson singing on SNL? Yeah, Drew Barrymore gonna be like that.
As the article notes, writers for her show are governed under a separate contract which was not being struck. It was actually a cool move on her part to respond to the backlash with further solidarity and push back the show, since no one on her team was actually called to strike.
Also I find it weird that it's "struck" and not "striked" like how being hanged is very different from being hung.
Her show might not have been struck off, but her 3 co-writers were all members of the union and actively picketing outside her show's studio. There's no way she didn't expect it to ruffle their feathers - in fact, she tried to keep it secret and didn't tell them, instead they found out through audience ticket giveaways online.

She literally posted about it on social media, which is how you know about it lol
She posted about it after the writers found out, but it was posting about it that brought it to the wider public's knowledge.
Can’t say I blame them. Barrymore really screwed up her reputation here.
Didn't know these vapid shows needed writers.
Will be interesting to see if the writers already have other jobs lined up.
Almost certainly the case, given that they're all 3 Emmy noms. They'll be scooped up immediately.
Probably do, I would of been looking for work the second she pulled that shit.
ChatGPT, you're up!
