The photo of her as a child being inside a dog cage with the dog outside, is very telling to me.
The fact that tabloids demonized her, A CHILD, for being addicted to substances...HOW TF DO THEY THINK A CHILD BECAME ADDICTED TO THAT?! Even as children, women who are victims are treated the way perpetrators should be.
Great points.
Also, they mention her alcohol addiction and then call her bloated?! Like, you are talking about a child and you can't go 2 seconds without mentioning how non sexually appealing their body is because of an addiction?! Insane
@Olly Nolly They stated that? About her body? She could've been bloated from star vation.
@@annehedonia156 ive never heard of getting bloated from starvation
@@4ngel412 Yes, mostly in their belly area, while the limbs waste and become thin. Notice photos of the starving children in parts of Africa. Bloated bellies. It's not because they're full from food. 😢
The fact she's not dead or in jail is a real testament to her strength of character. Now I wish she hadn't had to be that strong but she's still clearly a determined woman.
Not only alive but truly thriving! She also doesn’t let everything she’s been through taint how she treats others. It’s possible she’s extra nice to everyone bc she knows what it’s like to be alone and having to go through hell.
She could be a Satanist.
@@Findingtruth569 👀 *Side Eye*
You don't know how strong you can be, until strength is all you have left.
@@danysanerd2383 It was God’s grace on her life
Her mother should be in prison. She abused Drew on SO MANY levels, it's unbelievable...
I love how her Mom is like "oh well I didn't know bc we went our separate ways at the club" 😅😅😅 Like ah yeah THAT'S THE PROBLEM! You took a small child to a club and Purposefully separated from them!
As if she were talking about a friend when it was literally her 9-year-old CHILD... This whole shit is beyond me...
How was the mom NOT arrested for child neglect?
@@amylee8969 Thank you!
Literally.
Drew's face in those interviews is rough. The fact they interviewed them sitting next to each other is gross.
I know there’s more she hasn’t told…kids who haven’t been through crazy horrible things don’t start using drugs to numb pain at 11 with 18 year olds and having sex with adult men at 13 in rehab. i hope she can finally tell us the whole story some day.
Wow, you're a Leighton Meester look alike!
Thought so too. Like Rod Stewart…no way he wasn’t into her. Why bring a 9 year old to scandalous hotel parties? Why ask her to go on tour? Yeahhhhhh something went on there
She wont because then the elites would kill her or She would lose everything
@@HausOfAdonisdefinitely. I'm sure she was abused/ molested by many men in Hollywood in her childhood
Yeah, I don’t think Drew even needs to reveal these things because it’s fairly obvious these things DID happen to her. Drew was definitely a target because of how vulnerable and unprotected she was 😢 shame on her parents and anyone who took advantage of or hurt her
Her parents should have been arrested for child neglect and endangerment. How does a 9 year old baby get access to all of this?
Children shouldn't be allowed to act in inappropriate films. They can't forget what was said or what they saw.
Makes me think of the movie "good boys" trailer. They always put kids in these movies.but then they tell the kid they can't watch their own movies.
This video clearly speaks to the fact that Drew is an ABSOLUTE WARRIOR!!!!! She has been through so much, fought for herself, for her life, for her sobriety, her career and now, for her daughters! 😍 In my eyes and opinion, she is and always will be an amazing woman, an amazing mother, an absolutely amazing actress, one hell of a survivor, and most of all she is an amazing human being❣️ I truly hope and pray that many many parents, young ladies, and just people in general can all learn a lot of amazing lessons, at the very least, from Drew and her life about what it's like to never give up on yourself, on the life you deserve, the life you want to live, and the fact that you can achieve anything and everything you put your heart into and fight for!!! God bless you, Drew! God bless everyone and love & light always! 🙏❤️👼💖🌟🩷💫🫶💝🥰💞🧿
“How could you get to be so depressed” glances right at her mother
This story is so sad. I have a 12 year old son and I can't even imagine I'm going through any of this she's lucky she made it out alive
I have a 6 year old. I couldn’t imagine her going through this. It is heart breaking…
Soooo many grown up people around her did that to her. Doing alcohol and drugs in that age, adults gave that to her, they drugged her, abused her, a child. Her mother was not well, treating her little doughter as an adult. So wrong on so many levels, i just cant wrap my head around that
The 80s and 90s were so predatory and sickening. Even up to the early 2000s, truth be told. Good for her, she made it despite all of the adults around her being filth.
The world is predatory. It hasn't stopped
That sniff though 😂 I can't 😂😂😂
Her mom was 100% unfit to be a parent
First of all, the editing is amazing.
Secondly, what a great research.
Last but bot least, wow, my mind is blown. Although I've watched many movies with Drew, I never really knew anything about her. Her story is completely heartbreaking and scary.
I hope she can heal from her past.
I grew up along side her. I was like 8 when E.T. came out. So getting a deep dive into her life. Is literally blowing my mind. This poor girl has been thorough so much.
Her resilience and intelligence is astounding. She's truly a testament to her own character.
what a horrible childhood and young adulthood 😢
Yeah I really feel bad for her
I love Drew Barrymore. Like Robert Downey Jr, I forget she had a trouble past. It is amazing how she grew into a lovely person considering all the odds stacked against her.
The “boy” Rick at rehab was not a boy. He was a grown adult man. And they ended up having sex. And the “list” they’re referring to sounded like slut shaming 😬🤷🏼♀️
sounds like a long list of pedophiles considering her age
This is proof that not every person deserves a child of their own. I'm glad Drew got away from her Sperm Donor & Birth Giver. They were not parents. They were keepers and never ever deserved Drew.
I am in love with the strength that woman had and has. Good for her. She not only survived but has kicked ass ever since.
Her and Brooke Shield’s childhood are so traumatizing…they deserve so much better
"they're always the villain yet also being exploited" almost as if the writer is going through an internal struggle 🤔🤔 I know there was a similar comment made earlier in the video, and I fucking love how you make a point and weave sophisticated shade about it into the rest of your video. Truly artful 👌
Drew Barrymore deserves to be surrounded by people who do genuinely love and care about her because she always around toxic people when she young. Those people would take advantage of Drew and she had to suffer in silence. Took out her pain in drugs and alcohol but ended up self destructive path. Luckily, Drew turn her life around, cutting people out her life including her mother. Now she had a very successful career, a happy life and loving family. I wish Drew the best ❤.
Her entire youth and childhood was robbed.
I always cry when watching documentaries on Drew. I loved her as a Woman & actress when I grew up (of course, still do) and when you hear the details, you know there's got to be worse situations. Breaks my heart.
This Is the best and most informative documentary on Drew Barrymore I have ever seen. I am the same age as Drew and have followed her career but I didn't know how bad it was I thought I was a young club kid at 14 but wow, her story breaks my heart the poor girl just needed a hug qnd someone to tell her that they love her for who she is and not what they can get. Her parents really failed her the whole business did so glad that she came out the other side and continues on a strong amazing actor and incredible person
She’s such a sweetheart! It’s sad you can’t pick your parents… shame on them mistreating her. I’m glad she never gave up! ✨
A Karen or two might’ve actually been kinda helpful back then 😢
My mom sent me to a long-term treatment facility (behavioral/treatment center) in Utah, when I was only 15. I was there until 2 months before I turned 18. I can truly sympathize with Drew. And this made me have a whole new found respect for her. I knew she had substance abuse problems but never knew the extent of what happened to her. It’s sad how programs can profit off of families and children with problems.
(I didn’t realize this comment was posted to a different video. 🤦🏻♀️)
This host of this thing cracks me up. Because this guy thinks that Drew going to rehab wasn’t fair because she didn’t like going to rehab, and because she didn’t like it that was just over the line. And then he got into asking why a 14 year old wasn’t able to have access to all of their money made from movies. The host of this documentary has to be under the age of 25 because no one with any sort of life experience or common sense would mirror the opinions of the host on those things
Wow thank goodness she turned out so well her story is shocking
I just love drew so much. Her life was so effed up but she has overcome things that most would have caved under and she's made a beautiful life. I hope she has healed and has peace forever ❤
Her mom didn’t care at all that she was living out in her own at all when she was 14 didn’t even try to stop her and said I don’t care I’ll take your overage boyfriend instead like wtaf
I hate that you had to deal with so much shit as a child. You are a beautiful soul Drew , I have always loved YOU . GOD BLESS YOU.
Dependent on alcohol at only 9? Damn. All adults around her, failed her.
and creepy older men around her... e.g. Rod Stewart invited 11 year old Drew Barrymore to travel with him on his tour bus
Yeah they knew the alcohol would make her less coherent and therefore easier to take advantage of
Through the video I was thinking how no one seemed to be concerned when a literal child was drinking, smoking, doing drugs it really is crazy. I feel like any normal person that saw a child doing those would go and stop/help her.
They need to arrest someone for that
@@chains_of_heavenexactly?! At least someone at the clubs she was at must’ve thought that it was weird, I know this was a different era but this is mental to hear 😭
"The higher I got, the happier I imagined myself, the more miserable I actually was." What a powerful quote.
Now the grown men who dated her as a child need to be charged with statutory r@pe and/or sx trafficking. The people who put her naked in movies and on magazine covers as a child need to be charged with CP. And her mother needs to be charged with neglect.
Hollywood!
Her mother needed to be in jail
good luck with that
One can only hope!!!! The system is so unjust though
period to ALLLL of this
Depriving a kid of sugar but allowing them to just take coke, weed, alcohol, etc with sketchy adults.. just pure insanity
Well drugs keep you thin where as sugar not so much. So you know not a surprise from Hollywood.
She prolly got brain damage from all of it. That's what it does to kids. Her mom, wtf?
It shows you how gaining weight is absolutely demonized in Hollywood, and this is why we need body positivity
Her mother was obsessed with her being really thin. Sugar makes you gain weight and coke makes you lose weight.
@@KK-el4mfhappened to me for crack cocaine @12
Drew is the definition of a cycle breaker. The fact she was raised by such a neglectful, self absorbed mother and she grew up to be such a loving, sympathetic, generous person is inspirational honestly. Rather than let herself become bitter she enjoys the little things and spreads happiness (without sweeping her hardships under the rug). This is why she’s one of my favorite celebrities. I wish more people in Hollywood and the world in general were like her
Her mother was a textbook histrionic who wasn't able (or willing) to meet her child's needs. Her child was basically forced to take care of herself.
Makes me understand just how mentally ill many people are. Remember the libs screaming she shouldn’t be enjoying the rain?
I find Drew to be annoying AF. But every-time I think that about her and her annoying voice and strange behaviour on her Talk show, I need to Stop myself and Remember just how much she’s had to overcome in her lifetime! She is a Survivor, for sure!
@@Analysis_Paralysis Mother was bad and Daddy was absent. Don’t forget Daddy is equally guilty.
@@morticiagomez6166 She never got to have a relationship to her father, which also broke her heart.
HOW on God’s green earth were her parents not arrested for extreme child neglect and abuse??? This is horrifying 😰
Some people should not have kids- I said what I said; these people are beyond disgusting.
Thats ALL I WANNA KNOW
Because of when and where.
My thoughts exactly.
@@SeekingGreetings and who they were.
The snorting noise effect is more triggering, honestly
It’s killing me. 👃
Literally
i think theyre just trying not to get demonetized, as opposed to caring about triggers. surprisingly insensitive for this videos topic
THANK YOU
@@grubbysyes that's it. I understand it to a point but made the video unwatchable 😢
I’m not understanding why NOBODY had the balls enough to say “ HEY This is not right for a child !!! Usher was also partying , drinking and having sex with adults at puff daddy house when he was twelve - it’s called grooming and child molestation
all of them in fame are just puppets and slaves
i don't even expect anything from them because they're not even real being
Dang, Oprah asking her "how could you be so depressed when you're so beautiful and you have everything?" is... very insensitive
I don't think there's a person who gets treated this way and comes out completely unscathed
yeah but i think she was only asking what a lot of people were probably thinking then
its was the 80’s. therapeutic language hadnt entered the mainstream then.
its was the 80’s. therapeutic language hadnt entered the mainstream then.
its was the 80’s. therapeutic language hadnt entered the mainstream then.
Not a single bit of this is Drew's fault. All the adults around her were complicit and therefore guilty. She is utterly amazing for not only surviving, but thriving.
Exactly what I thought!
And yet she's still in the business
@@diannejones9283it’s literally all she knows. And she couldn’t really make herself un-famous if she wanted. She’ll always be Drew Barrymore.
The sad thing was at that time the media placed the blame on her… the SAME media who took pics of this little girl in one of the seediest clubs drinking smoking and god knows what some adult did to her.
Im upset that not a single adult at those clubs called cps (afaik, nothing about cps was mentioned) or filed a report about a little girl being abandoned at a night club!
I know it's bc of her family's fame in Hollywood and nobody wanting to rock the boat....but you can make anonymous reports to cps! Wonder if any of them feel regret or shame now
That Oprah interview is so infuriating to watch. Maybe it comes from having mental struggles, but hearing her ask, "How could you not love yourself? How could you not find yourself beautiful? Look at how famous you are! I struggled with my looks, but I got over it!" Like, OH MY GOD, SHUT UP. THESE ARE THE WORST THINGS TO SAY TO SOMEONE STRUGGLING.
Right? Oprah is the worst.
Also with hindsight we know Oprah was lying, she still publically struggles with her body and self esteem and made a bunch of money off it
Yeaaa to me that is really putting the blame on the victim. She's a f*cking child, ofc she can't see beyond her own life cus that all she's known.
It's insane when she asked a teen if she was at a place where she is at peace with herself. Wtf no. There might be one in a million teens unbothered by outside pressure and truly happy with themselves but surely not when they're so much in the spotlight.
Oprah has said and done awful things. Look at how she betrayed Michael Jackson. Evil witch.
I can't imagine an adult wanting to drink & do drugs with a 9 year old without having some kind of nefarious reason for it. Definitely more to it than just "aw how funny/cute, the child is wasted".
hearing this story, it makes more sense why she is so compassionate and affectionate in her interviews. she wants to give people the comfort and love she didn't feel. what an amazing and beautiful soul she has 🌻💕
She never talks about sexual abuse. But I can’t imagine no one taking advantage of her when she was a child.
Im sure it was normalized in some sick way
same. Cause if she was the only child in these clubs, its obvious these "Friends" of hers were grown men and women, mostly men. And how is she 13 with a 22year old boyfriend? sick mother!!
Agreed
Yes! All those photos of her with older men hugging her …. And that Rod Stewart taking an 11 year old to his hotel room ?? No investigations.
I wonder if Drew was stoning herself to block it all out?
@@morticiagomez6166most definitely.
Her mom pimped her out simple as that. She never even cared how a 7 year old would get back home, partying and sleeping out at 7 is beyond distrubing. Drew talks about alcohol and drugs but nothing sexual. No way with Hollywood creeps she came out untouched...and a bf with a 22 year old at 13..She is better mentally than us for sure. Blessings on her and her kids.
And Rod Stewart wanting to take her on tour w him? That seems super strange.
She doesn’t talk about it because she doesn’t want to be black balled and out of the secret society
@@nola5045 And yours is the truest truth...
@nola5045 absolutely. I'm sure doesn't discuss her abuse from pedophiles because many were very powerful Hollywood men. But she was absolutely being SA'd and sleeping with grown men as a child. Heartbreaking.
I’ve noticed a lot of super traumatized now adult/once child actors hardly ever talk or touch on the subject of their sexual abuse, just everything else. I know they’re scared to say anything because the public generally responds extremely unfairly to victims and it’s so heartbreaking. We live in a society where we know certain people are known abusers with proof and even convictions but they still get praised, justified, and job opportunities while their victims are relentlessly blamed, called liars and even threatened for ever coming forward. Of course so many just keep their mouths shut
Every single adult that passed her in her young years failed her. I don’t understand how she could be blamed for her addictions and depression. It is truely an amazing and mind-blowing story
*truly
Because adults will do everything but take responsibility for how they fail kids.
the censoring noices are scary lmao
I'm so glad that drew decided to get sober and get her life together and was able to make a comeback I truly have so much respect for her
And she’s such a kind human now
@@clintonharvey2384 yeah she is such a good person
No matter what the addict HAS to be the one to chose or it won’t work
She's not sober. She said so openly on her show only a few weeks ago
@@Ug1i you are so right
This isn’t sexual exploitation, this is flat out child sex traffickin. She was groomed 🤬
👏👏👏
I agree
100℅ True!!
She was so lonely that a toy alien was her only friend...
This comment isnt logical, this is flat out American 😂🤦♀
there’s so much to touch on here ! thank you for the light shown on hollywood !
i have to say that the smoking/puffing/snorting sounds over “drugs and alcohol” is way more triggering than hearing the words themselves
-someone in recovery
100% I literally stopped smoking 3 days ago after a year
❤❤
The fact that so many grown ass people were around to see this going on, without taking action, is telling of what these kinds of societies are like. Very telling indeed. What a shame, poor girl.
Yep, all involved failed to protect her. They need to be in prison and child stars need to be better protected rather than just be seen as money making machines.
The no sugar rule was most likely less about health concerns and more her mother’s version of weight control.
That’s what I was thinking!
I said that too
damn sherlock
@@soho6435 Not everything is obvious to everyone so I was explaining. Just like compassion isn’t obvious to you but I’m not going to explain that.
@@kidforeverplz okay chill it was a joke i can't believe this little online comment hurt you so much you started talking about "compassion" lmao how do you survive in the real world?
The fact the tabloids shamed her, a teenager, for her drug addiction and mental health issues is absolutely disgusting. Her story should have been an opportunity to shine light on the behind the scenes of the film industry, not make her fear for her reputation.
Yeah shame her not her mother who should have been blamed as well as other adults around her and the media who filmed her instead of the helping her and blaming her.way to go people.
like they didn’t question why a 12-13 year old had a drinking problem to begin with?
This is no different than what they do to kids around the nation.
@@rebecca1331 This is the way it is... They KNOW what is happening to the children. Everyone is actively looking away... And asking silly questions like this.
I mean wouldn't you notice your child intoxicated? Geez.
It is a true miracle and wonder that Drew has turned out to be so wise and well adjusted despite abuse, dysfunction and trauma in every aspect. So few children make it through child acting, but when you stack that on top of drug abuse, sex abuse, emotional abuse and parental absence… it is nearly impossible to climb out of that. She is an absolutely amazing enigma. I haven’t met one person who does not love her, rightfully so.
Literally, it’s a miracle she is not only ok, but now thriving! I think one of the ONLY adults in her life that truly cared about her was Steven Spielberg. I kind of wish he could have adopted her. If he had truly known how bad young Drew’s life was, I wonder if he would have considered it 😢 Love Drew so much ❤
@@cgill914a
Abuse. I was there; I know.
the most insane childhood ever. I honestly don't understand how her parents were not thrown in JAIL!!!!! and I don't know how Drew came out of it all as sweet and normal person she is today, but huge respect to her!
Drew is the definition of people pleaser. You can see it in every episode of her talk show. I had to stop watching it awhile back because it's so painful to me to see. She's a people pleasing performer. I see so much pain behind her eyes. It's awful.
She's a true empath. I feel for her.
I just watched the interview between Drew and Jeanette about the abuse both their mothers put them through. I truly think the words Jeanette said to Drew gave her some healing and understanding about the abuse that her mother put her through.
That interview made me hurt for Drew. Younger Jenette is so on top of her healing journey and therapy, but you can tell Drew still struggles to accept and make sense of all the extreme trauma of her childhood. It's tough to navigate because Drew was obviously partying and being taken advantage of by some powerful men in Hollywood, but if she came out and said that, Hollywood would blacklist her.
I wish more adults would realize they're not always the wisest. Jeanette is so inspiring too.
@@naninuna7440 yep you are right
Seriously I read Jeanette’s book I’m glad my mom died and wow I was sick the whole time I read it parents don’t know how much damage they actually cause until they’re on their death bed it’s so sad ❤😢
Where can I find the interview? Link? I'll search too.
There's so telling how many SA went on... with all of these "Adults" its sickening that no one tried to help her😢
A lot, I just typed this. She doesnt want to talk about it until the person dies!!! Which tells me itz a much older person!!!
I met Drew when I was young. She was in my school in 1984. Man, that girl is WAY smart. I couldn't stop looking at her. I mean, a REAL Hollywood starlet just sitting right next to me. And, she's REALLY smart. I was dumbfounded at how smart she was. I was in the SD classes so I only got to see her for a couple of hours a day. She was in my grade when she was supposed to be two years behind me. I mean, I couldn't stop staring. She's gorgeous. Then, my Mom was like, "Hey, wanna meet Drew Barrymore?" When I went to see her, she lost it on me. It was that girl from school! Holy Crap! It was Drew Barrymore. My Mom grabbed me and we were out of there. I completely forgive her. After that, Drew was no longer in school. The gig was up. Drew has since reconciled with me. She's awesome. God Bless, Drew.
Hmm, could you elaborate/explain what do you mean by "I completely forgive her."? Forgive whom? And what? Maybe I didn't catch it from reading, sorry!
@@olexvndrvI forgive Drew for screaming at me. She was an alcoholic already by that age. I forgive her because I understand the affects of alcohol abuse. She just wanted to be a regular kid in school. But, when I showed up the the meet & greet, her anonymity was lost. Her charisma in school was pretty legendary. For the short time she was there, she was the center of a girl group. She kicked ass in school and we accepted her.
@@olexvndrv none of it😳 made any sense at all😵💫
Nah! This never happened 😂
@MasterX767 everyone knew who she was after ET in 1982 so you are delusional. Drew attended school in California or on set with teachers. What you are claiming doesn't add up
Her eating lunch with ET story broke my heart
I hope the rehab that Drew went to was investigated for shady practices, because it seems like a lot to put a child through to basically be in a prison
Sadly this is how many institutions treat people, adults and children these days. We have not moved as forwards from our disgusting past as people say.
Doubtful that’s how they are even now 💔
I’m sure it wasn’t!
Yeah, why would they deal with her like that and not the mom? If my 13 year old was walking around like that, I’m 100% positive that the authorities would come looking for me . Hmph 😑
Satanic ritual abuse she suffered at the hands of Hollywood that’s what made her the way she was
“ I would go to social or business parties with her, we’ll stay together then I’ll let her go do her own thing” Her own thing like what?!! What own thing does a child need to do with adults!! Her mom sold her daughter to the industry for fame. How sick
If you listen closely Oprah is such a manipulative and awful person in her interviews. It's disgusting. Much respect for Drew.
Each time you mentioned her "friends", like "sleepover with friends", i feel like it wasnt your typical same age friends, but more mature teen or adult friends. That is a scary thought. Nothing in her world back then was "normal".
i was about to comment the same thing. There's a famous picture of drew say around 7 or 8 being "carried" by a grown fucking man at 3 am out of the club. And Drew herself stated she woke up with these "friends" it was all blurry and in a bed. Thats the only thing she never shared with us if she was interfered with by these hollywood sickos but thats her secret and she will carry that to her grave for sure.
My first thought was “she was drinking with other 7 year olds?” And that’s when I realized
Actually Drew has confirmed that those "Friends" were adults.
They weren't same aged friends. You should have been able to pick that up fairly quickly during her story. She was the only child among adults.
Her parents were true narcissists. Lucky she made it out alive. Yes, no children should be in such movies. Disgusting
absolutely agree 100%
I do wonder where she and her mom stand now (I haven’t finished the video yet, maybe they mention it) but it’s OBVIOUS that Drew’s mom was also an addict, she was just hiding her addiction behind her daughter’s.
@@taylorgayhart9497if she's a narcissist hopefully drew doesn't keeo her close. They are dangerous
@@taylorgayhart9497 Pretty sure Drew keeps her at arm's length.
Her mom was a histrionic. Watch her interview where she's flirting with a show's host and badmouthing her own daughter on national TV!
All Drew wanted was to have mom, not having a mothers unconditional love...I can't fathom the loneliness and longing she must have felt. I really feel like Drew is still being manipulated and in fear about talking about what happened to her with other entertainers, and experiences that happened in that facility. She has children to worry about and she would never put their lives at risk. She is being a good protector and a MOM.
Her mother is an awful parent! Not bothered about a child being stoned?? I'm so inspired and glad that Drew managed to overcome that dark period and become healthy and successful.
She knew it was her fault essentially. and Drew made the money and got her into A list parties she cared more about that and being her child’s friend than being her mother
@@blairwaldorf-bass8180 I'd say the mom cared more about having her child as friend more than being her child’s friend.
Martin Sheen got Charlie Sheen addicted by taking drugs with him, too
I can’t believe the audacity of her mother to discuss these things with Oprah as if she didn’t do anything wrong 🥴 what an awful mother
The clubbers really just looked at a little girl partying at 2am and said, "yah, that's normal. Let's get her some drinks. Let's get her turnt!" 🤦🏻♀️
Shame on every adult who allowed her constant neglect and abuse. From club owners to industry professionals. Poor girl
A 11yr old should not ever have to say they hope they can stay sober
true, someone at least should have tried to protect that little girl ❤
They are so very evil they probably do not even see it. She was famous, but pedos run Hollywood and this is normal for them. Just another day in pedowood.
Right? A child in the club should be answered with a call to social services
Yep absolutely disgusting. But money talks. People will allow ANYTHING to happen if they are going to get a paycheck at the end of it all x
I cannot imagine being so stressed at 8 years old that I need alcohol?!?! that's so sad
Drew Barrymore is such a legend! I watched her moms old interviews on Howard Stern and the way these people would talk about drew as a child or as an adult never sat right with me ☹️
Yeah I felt uncomfortable watching the interview
Ugh..anyone who goes on Howard Stern already.... dysfunction
Perverts
It feels like Drew is finally getting to experience a childhood for the first time in her middle adulthood. And feel the carefree innocence and imagination with her own children. I’m so happy for her and where she is now. I’m scared for what will become of the children today who are being severely exploited by their parents online (Instagram, TH-cam, etc). It’s the same story as these child actors, just a different day.
Some of the parent vloggers kids are all grown up now and some of them have pretty bad things to say about their parents.
I know there's a lot Drew isn't telling about her real life struggle just because she's protecting herself (or others) or she doesn't want everything to be out there. But think, what was the purpose of those adults that give her alcohol and drugs? Just "having fun"? Just "showing her the adult world"? Just "teaching her"? Where also we hear statements like those? Yeah, you know it, I know it, we all know it, even if she doesn't talk about it.
Yeah it's pretty obvious, but it's up to her to talk about it or not, maybe she's not ready yet
@@radhiadeedou8286 agree and I totally understand if she never goes public about it. I just hope she's able to heal ✨
Exactly. Rod Stewart is a creep.
I think she's waiting for her mom to pass somewhere in her subconscious, she's said that she wanted to protect her mom in some ways etc. Makes sense. Maybe she feels like she doesn't have to say it because it's obvious yoo
It's not our business to know the details of her abuse. That is abuse on It's own
The constant sniffs 💀 I can’t.
So annoying
How Drew did not become another lost celebrity is incredible. She is so strong to survive all of this. It's a bonafide miracle she is still with us and that she is sober. My god, the strength that takes. Her mother clearly had her own demons she was struggling with, but she should have tried to be there more for her, and if she wasn't capable then maybe she should have asked other family members that aren't struggling with addiction to step in. But it's easy to suggest things with hindsight, I just wish someone could have protected Drew when she was a child.
Her mother was a Narcissist. Never loved her own child. Mom was not capable of loving anyone. Terrible person.
In my opinion the only reason she is able to come out on top Is because she never mentioned names or accused anybody of SA, Jeanette M did that’s why u don’t she on tv as much. There’s no doubt in my mind Drew was assaulted as a child multiple times her behavior says it all, definitely has symptoms of abuse. On top of her mother leaving her with predatory individuals. Regular people should be thankful they were never famous.
@@jbaby6331 well said also Rod Stewart is giving off major pedo vibes.
@@morticiagomez6166This! Clearly avoiding responsability, child is blamed and is seen as an ”adult”, gaslighting her. You’re totally spot on.
The interview she did recently with Jennette McCurdy was heartbreaking. You could see how things in her life were suddenly starting to make sense after listening to Jennette's story.
And the fact that she is scared to yell her full story because she still wants to protect her mother 😢 she is so much stronger, rational, and empathetic then her own mother. I wish her that one day shę will tell her truth ❤
The way these gorgeous, powerful, influential female actors from the 80’s are so nonchalant about pedophillia is extremely disturbing. Like we saw with Cosby that it’s never too late to bring these monsters to justice so let’s not just rehash what happened let’s find and convict them. What grown ass man was sleeping with a 10,11,12,13,14 year old little girl!?? And why aren’t they in prison??
💯
My thoughts exactly. It might be too painful to want to talk about. Or they blocked it out. It might be she feels responsible ( not that she is) but maybe feeling like she was ok with it then plus being under the influence of substances… maybe she doesn’t even know exactly what happened. I’m so glad she’s been able to keep going .
Because the pedo rings have infiltrated all key positions of power and control.
it’s not even just little girls that these creepy grown male hollywood execs were preying on but also little boys... corey feldman has talked about it a lot
Or/and they think “ I still need a job, what could I possibly do after coming forward, it would be the downfall for ALOT of carriers” not saying they shouldn’t come forward but it would be another loss for them. Sad
As someone who went through similar abuse in a less public setting it is absolutely baffling to see over and over again that my experience is not a one off. It is so awful.
I’m in shock that the mother was not arrested. The mother is who started her in drugs, taking her to clubs and parties while she is 5 years old is insane. They should have been looking at the mother.
I get reminded of Drew’s childhood, when I see Kim K bringing her 9 year old daughter to Hollywood events.
Styled up, wearing makeup, making her look much older than 9.
It's scary to know that there's women out there doing this to their daughters at this very moment just for money.
It's really messed up I mean I don't think she's just leaving her kid at clubs to party with a bunch of 40 year olds and get high but yeah I get where you're going
Wow 100%
wow i never realized this… very weird
Yes! Agreed 💔
Her mother should've been arrested, she was the person Drew needed to support her the most but instead she neglected and used her for her own selfish needs. All of these adults failed her (except Stephen Spielberg) and need to be held accountable. Its amazing how she survived all of this abuse and flourished to become a kind and humble person🌼
Her mother was also a victim of the Great Depression and was a literal immigrant who ran from an abusive relationship. This woman neglected her child but it’s not because it’s just a her issue, this issue is much bigger and no one talks about it.
Except Steven Spielberg?! Wow. The fact he is her “godfather” makes it even more disgusting. Regardless if Drew ever discusses the SA she experienced in her childhood - please educate yourself on that man. A deep, dark tunnel you will go down.
Issac Kappy named Spielberg explicitly! He's definitely one of them. That's why Drew doesn't say anything. They're all in a club and we're not in it.
What Steven Spielberg is a pedophile and Drew Barrymore has dissociated herself from all the abuse and doesn't speak about it at all. Bc she was in the Limelight, Studio 54 that had beds in the basement and I am sure she thought it was normal like how Corey Haim thought it was 😢. Sick, Issac Kappy said Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg were bigtime pedophiles so he definitely s,a, her. Theses pigs will meet God 1 day!!
@@sarahcosgrove6771the ho should’ve still went to prison ❤
I find it very interesting that both Paris and Drew had very similar experiences: being carried away against their wills, when they were both young, and then institutionalized (with their parents' involvement). And yet, they BOTH showed up to Britney's wedding, (part of only a VERY select few), having both had similar experiences to what BS went through, and yet they remain quiet to this day. WTF.
yep!!!
Drew is very quiet about the real things she’s experienced too. Her book that’s mentioned in this video is out of print and she doesn’t come right and say ever that she was the victim of SA as a child even though she clearly was. They’re probably too deep in it that they’re afraid to say anything
Yeah, there’s a lot of sketchy stuff in that world… and a lot of stories that are hard to believe until you add up the circumstantial evidence & develop a “shoot for the middle, therein lies the truth” attitude IMO. Look into Anneke Lucas, Rachel Vaughan, Cathy O’Brien & ex FBI chief, Ted Gunderson.
We need to stop putting celebrities on pedestals. What's that Wizard of Oz quote? "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
This happens to a shocking number of celebrities. Especially child celebrities.
I remember being a kid in the 80s seeing the tabloids about drew. I was so confused because she was only a few years older than me. Like I wasn’t even allowed to sleepover friend’s house. It was just shocking to see that a little girl was partying with adults, drinking and snorting coke. Her parents should have gone to jail. And what’s the deal with Rod Stewart? What was he doing in a hotel room with a child asking her to go on tour with him?
I can’t believe her mother. Pulling her out of treatment for a job. Not once but twice!
I have 15 years of recovery from RX drug addiction. I can’t imagine my early recovery being interrupted like that. It’s not easy to get clean but I wouldn’t trade my worst day clean and sober for my best day under the influence of RX drugs.
I’m really proud of Drew. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to work in that industry and have addiction issues. It’s nobody’s business unless you want to tell them and the press was all up in her business.
Jade was truly a selfish person to do that to her daughter
@@angelaholmes8888 *Jaid
So much shame to the reporters and people who wrote and printed those articles !! Traumatizing a child just for business
Her income came from Drew. Drew was her cash cow.
@@JoyceDunnelltrue
The people that were partying with her should have been held accountable. Especially her mother! She overcame the odds having a parent like that.
That’s so horrific. Being let into a club at age 10. When I was 10, my idea of a fun night was a sleepover with my friends and cousins. Along with riding my bike and roller skating outside.
Side bar, the amount of censorship in this video, is driving me insane? Saying cocaine, abuse, sex, drugs, MARIJUANA? Thise will get you demonetized?
Ok my guy, you're showing pictures of drugs, alcohol, abuse etc that are really clear. Are you going to get demonetized for saying the words? Or just demonetized if your target audience is under 18? Because it's difficult to watch, feels deeply inauthentic, and doesn't actually shield anyone from anything to bleep out that many words. Just my opinion, but if you cant say facts clearly about the person you're covering, you're doing them and your storytelling a huge disservice. Its so jarring i can't finish watching. I also find it insulting that people can show pictures of the horrors Drew went through, but are unwilling to name the demons she overcame.
The way her mother used and manipulated her makes me so angry.. She stole Drew's childhood right from her.
Yeah she did jade was a horrible mother
She was legit like you can drink and do drugs just not in front of me. Disgusting, neglectful monster.
I hate how Oprah did this interview. Especially knowing that Oprah lived in a abusive household you'd think she's have more sympathy for a girl going through so much
just from the clip I saw, it feels to me like Oprah was calling her mom out. both directly and indirectly when she asked “how can you be so depressed” and looked at her mom
@@patiwhit5219I noticed that, too. It was meant to be an opportunity for Drew to lay bare how much her mom messed up.
Wow her mother is a real piece of work. She’s lucky her daughter isn’t dead. From drug over dose or a sick man or women raping and murdering her. How a 6 year old didn’t over dose on alcohol is beyond me 💔 and the mom running around with her 22 year old boyfriend what in the actual f*ck 🤯
i’ve always loved drew barrymore and never knew why. her energy is authentically beautiful. she deserves nothing but the best and all the happiness in the world :(
You can tell she's still, sadly, traumatized. She's stronger than she believes, still. And is deeply scarred from growing up in Hollywood. Our hearts go out to her and the many other child actors that are forced into this life and travel much the same path.
Why are you still forcing them into that lifestyle?
Drew said Keanu Reeves once tried to save her when she was 16, he saw her at a club drinking and smoking and he grabbed her and put a helmet on her head and on the back of his motocycle and took her home. He told her she shouldn't go down this path. I can't remember if that was when she realized that she shouldnt be doing that or if it was the start of it. She knew it was wrong then, but she was already hooked and addicted and then didnt have her parents to say otherwise. She will always be thankful to him for that.
Edit: @marleyproductiongaming let me know that Drew was 16 and not 11 or 12. Thank you for the correction Marley! 😎✌🏿
Damn, as if I needed another reason to love Keanu! ❤
I highly respect him for that.
I was an extra in Babes in Toyland and remember hearing all of this about her but finding it so hard to believe seeing how innocent she looked on set. The American kids from MAHS were hired as extras because of their proximity to Bavaria Film Studios and English as their first language and I did notice that she immediately hooked up with a 14-year old boy from our school (she was 11) who was a known stoner. How she found him so instantly was mind boggling.
WAIT WAIT WAIT SO HE KNEW THAT SHIT???????
AND HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING AGAINST IT? CALL THE FCKING POLICE????
@@jokingpredator8383 I have no idea. I guess he didn't because she didn't mention anything like him calling any authorities. I feel like Keanu is and has always been a nice guy and is one of the few actors in Hollywood that's not a part of Hollyweird if you know what I'm saying, but I see what you mean. He could have alerted someone about what was happening. But would it have helped anything? I feel like CPS wouldn't have done anything dealing with Drew bc even though she was a child, she was Hollywood. That whole world is different from reality and we all know there's some messed up things that go on. Especially with Hollywood parents. They can raise or treat their child a certain way that us normal folk would see as weird.
Think about a 24 or 25 year old Elvis dating a 14 year old Priscilla. No, her parents weren't "Hollywood", but Elvis was and it was as if everyone turned a blind eye to that situation. Some parents of child stars should definitely have their sanity questioned for letting their child be involved in certain situations. Like the singer Usher. For the "sake of his career" and for a "learning experience", his mom let him go and live with P. Diddy, at the age of 14 under the guise of him learning about the business. It was called "Puffy Flavor Camp", but it was a perverted man gr**ming children.
I'm so sorry for the long reply, but you asked a very important question.
It's honestly a miracle she survived all of this
Omggggg I just want to wrap my arms around her and tell her how amazing she is. I can’t imagine all the things she went through. Just terrible to think of how many perverts could have taken advantage of her. So glad that she stayed strong and found peace!
What the hell was wrong with Rod Stewart? What grown man parties with a child? Her Mom introduced her to the streets than got mad when she became a victim of them. 😮😮😮😮
Exactly.
I had no idea that Rod Stewart did that and he is massively praised here in the UK, clearly no one knows. Horrible.
I don't see him the same way. I am rather disgusted by him now. Even if he can sing. Who cares. The devil obviously. No moral fiber.
A true narcissist
