Drew Barrymore is standing in solidarity with writers.
The 48-year-old star has dropped out as host of the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards in solidarity with the writers in the industry. The WGA announced that Hollywood writes would go on strike as they fight for fair wages in the era of streaming.
Drew issued a lengthy statement about her decision and her allegiance:
“I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike. Everything we celebrate and honor about movies and television is born out of their creation. And until a solution is reached, I am choosing to wait but I’ll be watching from home and hope you will join me.
I thank MTV, who has truly been some of the best partners I have ever worked with. And I can’t wait to be a part of this next year, when I can truly celebrate everything that MTV has created, which is a show that allows fans to choose who the awards go to and is truly inclusive. ”
