Along with the picketing and social media backlash the actress won, Drew’s invitation to host the National Book Awards‘ next annual award rite used to be rescinded. 

In the end, amid the scrutiny, the 50 First Dates alum shared a statement announcing she’d reversed her decision. 

“I have listened to everyone and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” Drew wrote in a observation posted to her social media Sept. 17. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find out way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”

As for the WGA’s reaction to her trade of middle? Along with posting the observation to their Instagram Tale, the Writers Guild of The united states, East, commented underneath her submit, “Thank you Drew.”
