Drew Barrymore Learns a Hard Lesson About Getting ‘Soft and Gooey’ With Martha Stewart

The Talk Show Host Opens Up About Her Friendship With the Domestic Goddess

In a recent interview, Drew Barrymore opened up about her friendship with Martha Stewart, admitting that she learned a hard lesson about getting too comfortable with the domestic goddess.

"I Got a Little Soft and Gooey"

Barrymore explained that she initially approached Stewart with a sense of awe and admiration. "She's such a powerhouse," Barrymore said. "I just wanted to be around her and soak up everything I could."

However, as their friendship grew, Barrymore began to let her guard down, sharing personal details that she later regretted.

"She's a Businesswoman First and Foremost"

To Barrymore's surprise, Stewart did not reciprocate the same level of intimacy. "I realized that she's very protective of her personal life," Barrymore said. "She's a businesswoman first and foremost, and she knows how to keep her boundaries."

Barrymore acknowledges that she should have respected Stewart's boundaries, but she was caught off guard by her friend's reserve.

"She's a Great Teacher"

Despite the lesson she learned, Barrymore still values her friendship with Stewart. "Martha's a great teacher," Barrymore said. "She's taught me a lot about business, and she's also taught me the importance of protecting myself."

Barrymore believes that the experience has made her a stronger person and has given her a new perspective on friendships in the public eye.
