Drew Barrymore talks about overcoming the “shame” of being divorced
Drew Barrymore, a well-known actress, is not afraid to discuss her personal life. Barrymore married Jeremy Thomas for the first time between 1994 and 1995. After that, she wed Tom Green between 2001 and 2002.
She wed Will Kopelman in 2012, and the two of them had two kids together before being divorced in 2016.
After talking about Jennifer Lopez’s Can’t Get Enough music video, in which she “pokes fun at being a four-time bride,” divorce came up in discussion.
“Divorce was a source of great shame for me, but something changed, and I decided I could no longer feel this way.'” Regarding her own divorce experience, Barrymore said, “And it just lifted from me.”
Divorce, she said, is in her opinion a means of protecting “the precious commodity we have on this planet, which is only our time.”
“And when you’re really in a situation that’s not working the way it hopes and wishes to be, we accept that and we improve our quality of life by moving forward,” the actress remarked. I have no guilt about getting a divorce anymore. I’m feeling so free.
