Drew Barrymore Reached Out to the "Other Woman" in a Past Relationship | The Drew Barrymore Show

I appreciate that she wanted to understand the full story and she directed her anger accurately and that take so much work.

[SteepedlnStories]

I love that she asked if the other women knew he was in a relationship. A lot of times women take the anger out on the wrong person when they really need to be mad at their bf.

[VoiCeSbeHinDtheWaLL]

I love she gave the other girl a chance to talk and didn't just blame her and be mean to her! She is awesome ❤

[Prisy]

And no matter if your famous, prettiest on earth, smart, genuine, funny, loving… if he’s a cheater nothing will stop it. And this is so heartbreaking

[Sara-vnkz]

One of my relatives essentially teamed up with her husband's mistress. The man is now completely out of the picture, and both women who were wronged by him keep in touch and make sure their children get to spend time with their half-siblings. That man was BAD for more than just the cheating.

[yvettezollinger]

I 💯 did this when I was 18, except the boyfriend wasn’t there. He was out of state waiting for one of us to call him to let him know where he stood. She and I became friends and he stayed out of state.😂

[themeitarrubin]

The audacity somebody oughta have to cheat on none other than Drew Barrymore is beyond comprehension.

[dann-elsmith]

I love the hair fling “I most certainly did”…gotta LOVE Drew, she’s a real one ❤

[GloryToGodAlmighty]

Why do I think it's probably someone that was more than just an ex bf. Drew is a strong mama and a wonderful human being. She is so classy. God bless.

[crystalscheider]

Get it girl! My ex husband thought I didn't know how to check emails and history on the computer and I found out he'd been communicating with his best friend's wife inappropriately. I called her and confronted her. She asked me not to tell her husband, but I did so anyway! I do not regret any of it! He ended up leaving our two children and I for another woman (his best friend's wife best friend)...I am so much better off, but it took years to feel that way! So glad things happened the way they did!

[itssarahbeth]

Drew is such a girls girl that she definitely knew before hand that the guy was at fault. Good for Drew but sad she had to go through that

[barbaraschultz]

As a women, I could never understand why we blame the other women for the actions of our cheating partner as if they were helpless. Then be gaslight, to minimize, justify or deny the reality. Usually other women don’t want to meet the Ex. How could you not want to! This is your life. In Drew’s case, glad she had the house to go home to. So many women put up with the cheating spouse because they would lose their home. It’s so sad.

[angithomas]

I did this before but when I found out I WAS THE OTHER WOMAN….I also found out while we were dating SERIOUSLY DATING he had gotten married to her!! He had no clue I was coming over to their apt that day to “talk” to her!! It’s a memory I will forever hold!!

[maryb]

I confronted my best friends boy friend at a restaurant when I saw him with another woman. I took a picture of them kissing at the table.
Then went over and said hi staring the woman down. I asked her if she knew he had a girlfriend. She said no so I said he does for 5 years now and she left. I offered her a ride. As I left I said to him and don't even think I'm not telling everybody about this. She confronted him and I never saw him again.

[hollyshaw-elliemae]

can you imagine dating drew effing barrymore? omg. i cant even wrap my head around the concept. she is a legend, her family is legendary. i grew up with her as an idol. even through all of her struggles, ive idolized her. im 50 and its its like iwatched her grow up.

[zacgallenlover]

Ugh she has the best energy!!! This is how you handle this like a boss

[numbernine]

Oh heck yeah, I've reached out twice. One chick showed up @ his door he acted like he didn't kno her. I knew better. Tracked her down to politely ask if she'd slept w/him? She had.
After the split up he was seeing someone else but calling me non stop. I called her to say get ahold of ur man, he's calling me begging me to come back when I know he's w/u & I don't want him. She was devastated but deserved to kno what she was dealing with

[voteforscience]

That’s the only way to do it. Like an adult. Don’t hate the other person. Hold your partner responsible.

[Picky_Mickey]

I never understood why the woman would blame the other one instead of the man that they were with. I really love that Drew came out and told this perspective. A lot of the time that man is duping both women!

[Angel_HippieCityHealing]

Did the same thing but I was the other woman and didn’t know it. She was furious until I explained everything. She respected that I reached out and we wished each other the best.
