Hollywood star Drew Barrymore is one of the most experienced performers on stage and in front of the cameras. Although being a strong and independent woman can help you in difficult times, it does not prevent you from living in really dangerous situations.
Last Monday, August 21, Barrymore experienced an episode worthy of a horror movie. The American actress, model and producer was at the 92nd Street event in New York chatting with Renée Rapp, singer and actress of the fashion series The Sex Life of College Girls, when a man approached the stage repeating her name.
Although Barrymore initially thought he was an excited fan and started smiling and telling the man, “oh my gosh, yeah, hello,” the situation quickly changed and the two artists were freaking out.
The stalker continued to approach at a brisk pace while shamelessly shouting and addressing the star of The Stand In or Santa Clarita Diet: “You know who I am. I need to see you sometime while you’re in New York.” Faced with such a situation, the rapper grabbed the actress, put her arms above her and took her off the stage. Meanwhile, the security of the event was in charge of stopping the stalker, who fearlessly advanced towards where the girls were.
After a few long tense minutes in which the audience did not know what had finally happened and if the stars of the day were fine, the two artists returned to the stage with a smile, showing above all that they are great professionals.
While Rapp applauded her partner and publicly expressed her admiration for Barrymore for making the decision to resume the event despite what had happened, the Charlie’s Angels producer thanked the young woman for helping her and for having helped her. protected from possible ‘attack’.
Not all public figures know how to handle fame, but not all celebrities suffer the same consequences. Although constantly living in the public eye is hard and nobody wants to go out in a costume or have to take 100 photos a day with fans, there are those who suffer other types of more serious situations.
On this occasion, Drew Barrymore was affected, but everything was scared and a bad story. Unfortunately, this is more common than we think. Not long ago we were able to observe how Harry Styles or Bebe Rexha suffered physical attacks when ‘followers’ (or rather harassers) threw objects at them at their concerts, which caused them serious injuries.
