Attendees open up about strikes and leaving the show

As per People, the incident took place this week during the taping of the Drew Barrymore show. Soon after, a user by the name of Dominic Turiczek took to X (formerly Twitter), to talk about how they were made to leave the show as they were voicing support for the ongoing writers' strike. His post read "Went to @DrewBarrymoreTV after winning tickets, unaware of the #WGA strike. We took pins & went in, got kicked out, & verbally assaulted by @DrewBarrymore’s crew. It’s clear they don’t support #WGAStrong, writers or fans! #DrewTheRightThing So we took shirts and joined. F*** that."

The user also posted pictures of joining the strike by adorning a pin and a t-shirt. A follow-up tweet in the same thread read "*For clarification* We knew about the #WGA strike, just not that they were picketing at Drew’s show. We were unaware until inside, that her show had WGA writers, thus crossing picket lines by starting again. We won the tickets last minute and didn’t do enough research, clearly."
