Exposing Drew Barrymore’s Abusive & Toxic Childhood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2021
- #DrewBarrymore was exploited as a child star. Drew was working from the age of 11 months old. By the time she reached her teens she was an addict and in recovering in rehab. Her mother did not protect her from the darks die of Hollywood, so unfortunately Drew was exposed to it all.
Thank you so much Lindsay for the amazing stuffed animal version of my puppy Bunny!

I despise how Oprah asked Drew “why were you in clubs at 9” so accusingly like it was her fault or even choice at all
Right! Her way of questioning is questionable too 👀
The reasons i don’t like oprah is how she asked questions to young women.. the olsen twins, lindsay, drew, she is just… idk not it for me
Oh please!! In the 80s and 90s Oprah was the ONLY sympathetic interviewer. That's why celebrities always went to her to restart careers. Oprah was a stepping stone to where we are now and at the time SHE was considered too soft of celebrities and too into mental health talk.
@@jakestroll6518 another cult follower, Oprah is extremely problematic, it’s people like you that make people feel bad or question coming forward,.
@@jakestroll6518 there’s a way of asking questions w/o sounding like a total bitch & of course people are going to Oprah bc she was/is one of the most famous talk show host of all time! It’s all publicity not bc she’s for mental health or something. Like the comment above said, she’s very problematic & there’s something fishy abt this woman. I hope Sloan makes a video abt Oprah!
Only reason her parents weren’t thrown in jail for extreme child neglect, child endangerment, child abuse, and giving drugs and alcohol to a child, is because they are rich. Any other parent would spend time in prison. Disgusting.
And have their kids taken by dcf. Nuts.
Exactly. The same thing happen to JonBenet Ramsey. The parents got away with the disgusting abuse of their own child. 😭
You are wrong... if you knew all the "poor people" selling their kids and they get away with everything..
they are in fact the most part of "suppliers" to "rich customers", child traffiking is a multiple billions dollars market.
@@amor797 who's profiting off that and not going to jail for it?? RICH people, you just said it
@@ambriaashley3383 yet poor people do it out of ‘necessity’ little girls are sold for little in 3rd world countries.
It would be so weird and uncomfortable to have a 7 year old just around me when I was trying to party at a club. Why is Hollywood literally ALL creeps and weirdos?!
hollywood was made just to keep us from thinking about real problems, so ofc its gonna be filled with evil people; its run by evil people!!!
its the foundation :-(
I feel so sad for her
Yes definitely, it is the devil's playground, literally!
Studio 54 is in Manhattan, NY.
For her birthday, Spielberg made an appearance on her show and she said that he was the first adult in her life to ever behave like a parental figure to her, which it's so sad.
He's been named as a pedophile tho
the fact that Spielberg was more of a father than Drew's actual father is very telling of what was going on in her life
That's so sad. I'm glad he had her though
He seems to have been more of a parent than her actual parents. Goes to show blood isn't always thicker than water.
She's a good actress alright.
It's alleged that Spielberg abused Drew.
I know what’s off about Oprah… she said “YOU hung out with adults” almost in a accusatory way. With no regards to what ADULTS put her in that situation.
EXACTLY. It’s horrific.
She is bestie with many monsters, even defending weinstein if i remember..
crazy that people still praise her.
Exactly!!! No reason to blame a kid for going to the bars, blame the bars for letting a kid in!
Ashamed????? They should be locked up!
Oprah is toxic af
It’s a miracle that Drew is where she’s at right now. This was so disturbing to watch. Wtffff is wrong with people in Hollywood?! Please, don’t stop highlighting history the entertainment industry wants us to all forget,
Look at who was named in the epstein maxwell case.... Hollywood actors . Walt disney
@@kelseylandon1224 truth. It's deep rooted in the elites, Hollywood, politicians and foreign governments. It goes DEEP
@@kelseylandon1224 I don't really think it is getting that much attention to be honest. It's just the tip of the iceberg though like you said.
@@kelseylandon1224 oh I know that but I don't think the general public believe that there really is pedo, like I've talked about government officials being pedo and they absolutely looked at me like I had ten heads. They are trying to infiltrate the LGBTQ+ community to gain acceptance.
@@kelseylandon1224 I didn't say that they are just elites, I said the pedo stuff goes deep, it's EVERYWHERE. I never heard of the IBLP but I know there are tons of church/religious groups that also participate in pedo. I know he can't cover all SA cases, these high profile ones should be covered though, people are barely speaking on the maxwell trial that is going on now, when you give light to these high profile cases the smaller ones get talked about too. It terrifies me that people deny this and if we keep sweeping it under the rug next thing you know people will accept it, they have already started.
How can a mother “go separate ways” with their 9 year old child? I will never understand how CPS wasn’t involved in Drew’s childhood. It’s a wonder Drew is even alive! Steven Spielberg isn’t her stepfather. He is “like a father” to her, though.
Spielberg was fingered by Kappy as a child predator.
Simple , money
Hollywood is a cesspool of sick and abusive pedophiles. So many victims have tried to tell their stories but either commit suicide or get addicted to drugs and their acting careers die.
So sadly, not surprising that the CPS would just turn away :(
An abusive mother would never go separate ways with her child, no matter the reason... At least a neglectful mother would, even though we can't see a reason🤷🏻♂️
The fact that she drank at 9 to get the pain of her problems off her mind…
What kind of problems can a 9 year old have on their mind that would make drinking an option ?! 😭 😭
This poor child. Wtf !!!
I was thinking that too, what was she trying to forget about? 😢
@Lindy T Her mom, Shia Laboufs parents , Anthony Keidis dad, Janette McCurdys mom should all feel ashamed. Even though some of them are deceased. They probably had to face the truth in the end though.
At age 10 drew looked like a child. There is no way in hell despite how much older in her head she thought she looked that any adult man would think she was any where near of age...
All the adult men around her wanted a child- no one was confused about whether she was of age.
the implication society gives men like they're oh-so-confused and led astray by younger women who look older is completely false and misogynist.
they could all tell she was a child.
it's the same with grown men telling the court "i didn't know she was 14/15." they did. they seek out younger girls for a reason: they have less stability, less boundaries and are less independent than older women.
that makes it all the more easier for them and their dicks to benefit from it.
I thought 💭 that IMMEDIATELY.. 😢 and shameful.
@@hz1823 it would have taken literally 5seconds to realise at most
But they want Children. This is very much the point
"because we looked so much older than we were" NO SHE DIDN'T in all of those photos she looks like a 10-year-old. she just does. everyone around is wrong
exactly, she just... looks like a little child. what she went through is far beyond disturbing.
Yeah there is literally no way to say she doesn’t look 10 years old, she even has baby teeth for goodness sake!
Right she still has a baby face so it’s definitely noticeable when she was a baby, these men were not fooled. Not saying they shouldn’t dance, because dancing can be innocent, but waking up in mens homes and men buying drinks for little kids to dance with them, and just the drinking in itself is disturbing to say the least.
She literally looks like a baby at 10. Hearing her say that was heartbreaking.
That's a sexual abuse victim trying to rationalize their abuse away aka denial. Super sad 😔
“Why would these adults want a kid hanging around them?”
I think we all know exactly why. Drew has never spoken of this publicly, so I hate to speculate, but I truly believe she was molested. I am so happy she has been able to come out on the other side happy and healthy now.
It's the norm in Hollyweird......
absolutely no mentally sound adult wants a kid around when they are out parting. and no mentally sound adult wants to get a kid drunk. even the guests at those fucking parties, you are watching a bunch of adult men getting a 9 year old drunk til she passed out and you didn't do anything about it!! hollywood as a whole is rotten
On her show (Jennette McCurdy interview), she does hint that there are untold stories & that she's waiting for certain people to die before she tells them.
@@lesleymay6757 In the context of the interview, it sounded like she was referring to her mom & some additional context. Given that she's in a stable place with that relationship & raising young daughters, I can understand why she might want to wait before dredging up additional trauma. No idea.
Something you'll never understand if that hasn't happened to you.
i'm drew's age and honestly everyone thought she was gonna be a washed up child star who died of an overdose. she made a comeback in the early 90s and blew everyone away with her talent. always will love poison ivy & the wedding singer.
50 first dates🥰
@@violetmarie4689 riding in cars with boys. Super underrated film
Never been kissed is another fave of mine
Drew made a comeback because she’s such a nice person. I feel bad for her experiences but she just seems like one of the few people in Hollywood who I would like in real life.
I'm so proud of her. She's the true example that anyone can turn their life around and turn out to be a great person. I'm glad she had Steven Spielberg like a dad.
I love that she’s so protective of her children, she stopped the cycle. I say a similar thing to my kids, “I’m not your friend, I’m your mother. I’ll be your support, your advocate, your protector and your advisor, but as for friends…that can come later”. Children need parents.
Exactly. You can be a friend when they’re an adult and have their growing behind them for the most part. Mom becomes your friend when you’re also an adult. When you’re a kid mom is mom period. I wish I had a mom like that. :(
@chumpess Ooh love this saying I'm going to start this saying with my son
I was about to say something about having broken the cycle. It makes it even more impressive that she is the woman she is having lived such a crazy life in her early years.
@@kaylabessette5990 I agree.
Watch the movie, Too much, Too Soon, it was about John's daughter who also died from substance issues.
Drew and Brooke Shields had similar childhoods. You would never think both of these beautiful successful women had such a sad childhood and their mothers failed them so tragically.
Brooke Shields 😥😥😥 her story was painful as ever, Its so awful how she had to endure all that. And couldn't just be a normal child.
Tatum O'Neal too
So horrible!
Where were their fathers? This isn't their fathers' faults?
Yes! Omg there's a movie called Blue Lagoon i think where Brooke Shields is only 12 or 13 and is top less in the movie! Its insane!
Her mom knew what she was doing. She was low key passing her around to appease and to be in good graces with Hollywood producers and directors. This is obvious. Her mom was probably doing the same thing. This probably happened to her mom.
This makes so much sense
Her mom was a groupie. She wasn't the actual Barrymore. It's truly sick. I am glad Drew cut her off a long time ago. She doesn't deserve to have a good person like Drew in her life after all the crap she put her through. Absolutely sick what she did.
Her mom wasn’t an actress. He fathers side of the family was the famous Hollywood side.
Why when Drew was 6 and dancing on tables at Studio 54 did NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON speak up???
Honestly she's lucky to be alive.
Because that poor child was on the "menu" for the sick rich "elites".
You've heard about Epstein, right? Well, that's why.
“I’m not your friend. I’ll never be your friend, I’m your mother. I had a mother that was a friend. We’re not going to do that.” My heart breaks for her. I’m glad she’s giving her daughters the childhood she deserved. 💜
Mothers are so important for a girl's self esteem right like even as an adult , it's a fragile and crucial relationship , poor drew had it hard but I'm so happy she's kept her joy and sanity for herself. No child deserves that poor treatment, it's essentially abusive even criminal 😥😥😥
my mom said the same thing 😥 didn't know that she shouldn't say such things
i had a mom that wanted to be my friend over being my mom and honestly that’s so damaging to kids
I think you can be a mom without being a bully.
@@aryswheel9327 I agree that both sides can be damaging, given the extent its taken to
"It was understandable. We looked much older." No no, that definitely looks like a child.
She believes she looked older because I’m sure those adults were telling her she looked and acted older than she was. This is a manipulation tactic so that the victim feels there’s nothing wrong with what’s happening and “consents” it because “that’s how adults act and I have been told I’m an like an adult, so it’s okay for me to act as such”.
Yeah, I'd say the oldest she could look in these pics is maybe 12 at most, but not even sure if that
I was told i acted like an adult for what NOW I KNOW was a groomer, he was 25 i was 16 , dude what a a creep
@@jjba3571 I hope you got out of that situation
@@jjba3571 Same. I kept being told I was more mature than my age, so I was easy to get along with and I had interesting convos. At 11, he was 22.
So, she was trafficked by her mother. Breaks my heart.
She was such a horrible mother. It's good that Drew is doing better now.
@@ashwinidesai4051 I hope Drew cut her off for good. And has her children no where near a monster like her mother.
Definitely, her mother wanted to go to places like Studio 54 and Drew was her ticket into there. She didn't care what happened to her child while they were there.
I find it interesting that drew hasn’t come out and actually said she was sexually assaulted, it’s like Hollywood has a hold on her still. Imagine if she would have spoken up, would she have been blacklisted and deemed crazy?! I believe her never outright coming out has allowed her to continue to work in the industry. No wonder she won’t let her kids work in it till their 18 years old! Good for her for being the mother she never had!
I think it's obvious. She does not hv to say anything else. It's understood wat happened.
I feel like there's no point tbh, she already spoke up about it alot in all those interviews as a young girl, & nothing was done at the time. Most of the people who SAed her are probably old or dead now. She seems so lovely, I can't imagine her wanting to air everything out again just for the sake of "justice" when justice can't even really be served for what she went though. If she wanted to, of course I would love to show her (& all other survivors) support. But it seems like she doesn't want to. Drew is very open on her show about what she went through & so I feel like she excludes that stuff on purpose. For her to speak up about it now, if then becomes more apart of her story unfortunately, especially because she is a celebrity. People would speculate on who she was talking about regardless on how vague & unspecific she describes anything. I feel like her kids would see stuff about it then as well. For myself, I can't imagine wanting to make every detail so public and have to relive that in any way. Much easier and healthier to forget. Sending her all my love & support though, regardless of if/when she wants to talk about her past trauma.
Almost every single childhood star that has come out about it has been blacklisted, these people do it because they’re filthy rich and know they’ll get away with it, it’s either you tell the truth and your life’s ruined or you hold it in and your life’s ruined
Honestly I understand why she hasn't come out about it. Her entire traumatic childhood is out there for everyone to see, it makes sense for her to want to keep the worst trauma someone can go through to herself. She doesn't owe that story to anyone, and I think she's done a significant amount of therapy and healing which is everything she needs to do for herself. It's a survivors right the choose when and if they ever come out about that.
Because it’s her decision and we aren’t entitled to know.
It’s actually insane how she was allowed to go out drinking at 9 years old she was failed by so many people I’m glad she’s doing well now
6 and 7. She was out drinking at 6 and 7. Heartbreaking
She wasn’t only allowed to go. She was encouraged to. She was raised to think it was okay. That poor baby was sold and groomed idk how she was able to come back from it tbh
100% she was prostituted out by her elite family.
Yeah and what about Steven Spielberg, her “step father”
@@ro3464 otherwise I don't think she would ve been helped by the medical staff to legally claim her emancipation from her mother.. there must ve been very serious abuse going on.. not that emotional abuse isn't a good enough reason to do so, it's just that the social system still doesn't recognize this as enough to suggest that a teenager should be independent of parenting...
I cannot fathom seeing a drunk 9 year old that has passed out and not calling an ambulance. This is disgusting
👏👏👏👏 well said!!! 💖
their bodies are so fragile at that age. getting drunk regularly so young likely caused so much damage to her body. i wouldnt be surprised if she developed medical issues from it, although i havent hear anything
@Sofia Lara
Probably what caused her mouth to speak oddly also...
Germans: 👁👄👁
Or even her parents 😔
It annoys me how some interview her, including Oprah. You should not be asking someone why they chose to go to a bar as a child. She was a CHILD. That is 100% on the adults. You should never be asking a woman what was on her mind when she chose to drink or do drugs as an elementary school aged kid. That shouldn't have even been an option for her if she had decent parents!
Oprah was probably following the direction of Drew and her mother, but it was obvious Oprah was directing this to the mother who was sitting next to Drew.
Oprah has no real empathy - dead eyes
I CANNOT understand how people looked at an 11 year old child and be SO inclined to manipulate them instead of protecting them.
Sick!!!🤮🤮😡
It’s very clear she was assaulted as a child it’s sickening. By far the worst childhood of a celebrity I’ve ever heard. My heart breaks for drew. I’m so happy she’s in a better place as a woman today.
Why does my comment keep getting deleted???
@@destanysnider675 what?
Children in Hollywood get assaulted.
@@mags8422 I’m well aware.

@@newname3021 I don't understand what Britney has to do with this video
It's wonderful she is living a quiet life raising her children. Good for her and i hope everything stays good for her ❤
True
I love her! She's so sweet , empathetic and funny. Just a really good woman! 🥰🤗
Honestly Drew saying "I am not your friend, I am your mother" to her kid... I don't think people who didn't have parents like Drew did can really understand that. Having parents that treat you as if someone else is supposed to be raising you is... devastating. And I can say from personal experience it ruined my relationship with my family and I never want kids because of it. You are not supposed to be your kids best friend, you're not supposed to let them do whatever cuz they're "their own person" when they're still a minor. They're a child, who needs protection and a safe, healthy environment so they can become ADULTS who are their own person. Treating your own kids like adults before they're ready is so so psychologically damaging.
I am the oldest of 3 siblings, while I was growing up my mom never told me what to do. when I was 14 - I dropped out of school, had already been getting high, with my friends and boyfriend who was at the time 27. my mom knew him too, he lied about his age but still he said he was 21. she would let him stay the night.
People really don’t give Drew enough credit. I’m so proud of her.
An 8 year old should never have to understand the feeling of drinking to forget your problems. That bit really got to me. How any parent could allow their child to be involved in these things is beyond me.
Not just allowing it but officiating
yeah...What problems does an 8y old have to forget, in the first place?
It's heartbreaking
@@cmfc8719 Oh believe me some 8 year olds have nightmares to forget I was one.
I can’t imagine being in a club and seeing a 6 year old partying 😳
Right! Giving a 6 yr old drugs?!
@@HCohick some ppl might think it's "funny" to see a kid trip out .ugh
@@HCohick oh my gosh 😲😲!!! Seeing a 6 year old girl partying that is Creepy.
Janet Jackson said that she was at Studio 54 as a child and it was the first time that she saw drugs.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 yes many children went there even Michael Jackson. These kids were pimped and offered to all sorts of powerful people
Her and Brooke Shields need to write a no holds barred book. 500 plus pages !
I can truly identify with Drew. I had an awful absentee mother, AND I went through a devastating drug addiction from the ages of 17-26. Escorting, stealing, dealing, jail, multiple rehabs, etc. I also lived in my car off and on for my first two years clean!!!! And I live in Ohio where we have pretty nasty winters. I just couldn’t get my act together, still living in the old drug mindset. Fast forward and I have now been clean for 13 years and have been through the next journey of discovering myself for the first time in my life. My years of self destruction made me a very humble and introspective woman. I can see she has been along the same journey I have. Some people quit the drugs, but never change the mindset and remain miserable. Some people see the flaws and wounds and aim to heal them…that’s Drew. Rock on my sister! ❤️
Congrats 👏 thats amazing I totally understand when you said the drug mindset some of us never can understand that therefore some of us never make it in recovery
Extremely extremely proud of you and glad you’re healthy and alive
Congratulations on healing your own flaws and wounds. You are an inspiration!
You can look at those photos and tell that she is a literal CHILD. It's disgusting that no one protected her. And then they exploited what they did to her and tried to spin it like she was an active participant. So many people were complicit.
Yeah well it's just normalized the constant parties if you take a kid to wedding reception or something and turn your back they could grab a glass of champagne or something but they are at big parties like that regularly and just think nothing of it I guess. Robert Downy jr. too was young and into stuff probably goes on a lot not just in Hollywood either.
@@AnnaLVajda I totally get what you’re saying, didn’t even mean the alcohol or drug angle per say, more the relations sexual in nature these adults were having with a child. I find that part the big issue and why adults around her dropped the ball/were horrible in character to begin with. But you’re definitely right, Hollywood or countryside a lot of “party culture” is normalized in many scenes, where I grew up too. It’s easy to fall into.
Her mom casually says she was never with her at any bars…HOW DID SHE GET THERE?? WHO took her to these bars?? She acted like her not being “aware” she was going to bars made her look better when it made it her look like an ever worse mother! That woman couldn’t even pretend to be be somewhat of a good mother bc everything Drew did was proof she was being neglected
I think she was trying to imply that her daughter was lying because it was making her look bad but by her lying it just makes her look SO much worse
Yes she wasn’t aware but it was all over tabloids
Maybe someone was picking her up from her house. Still sick…. Or maybe it was her mom driving her. Still horrible situation.
Every single adult in her life failed her, so sad 😞
It’s literally a miracle that Drew is even alive today let alone doing so well, so much respect for her and how far she’s come, she’s such an inspirational woman ❤️
I love that Drew learned from her mother's mistakes and decided to do things different with her children. "I'm not your friend. I'll never be your friend. I'm your mother. And I had a mother who was a friend and we're not gonna do that." Bad parents are the greatest teachers. They will teach you what not to do.
Truth.
Agreed
If that ain’t the truth!
My mother had very bad parents, but she is the best mother I could have because she didn't want to repeat history.
Amen
I absolutely don’t mean this as an insult, on the contrary actually but I can’t believe that a child of her age was so intelligent to be able to mostly independently navigate her way through that kind of lifestyle. The depth of awareness that she must’ve had at 10 years old to understand on any level the relationships between sexuality and alcohol and emotions. She did a LOT of very self aware thinking for a ten year old that really blows my mind. It makes you seriously wonder how trauma impacts a child’s survival mechanism, there was nobody there to raise or parent drew Barrymore so she quite literally *raised herself from 8 years old*
Yeah I agree with you 💯. I think from being around adults for most of her life it impacted her to mature faster than the average child.
@@chai387 yes I think so too, I related to that myself, being more comfortable around adults than children because you’ve had to mature faster. The difference for me, is that drugs and alcohol were nowhere near involved when I was her age and even I would’ve been well out of my element with situations of that caliber.
God helped guide her. It's the only way she is still here with all the trauma and tragedy.
@@user-7AB23 if you've never been thru it then you'll never understand fully what I mean.
@@user-7AB23 to clarify, I never said she dealt with it well or that it was anything but a major trauma. You seem to have misinterpreted my point, which was that it is still curious that a 10-year-old can muster up the survival instinct enough to know how to move around adults and navigate her own life from 8 years old on, demonstrated by the fact that she was emancipated at 14. We know this is true, that children are very adaptive but it is interesting nonetheless to see how far the limits of adaptation have gone for some people. You say that she had no idea what was happening to her but based on her own analysis at the time of the situation she understood at least that there was a relationship between what she was doing and the intended consequences of what she was doing, which again is not expected of a ten year old child in those scenarios
"I am not your friend, I am your mother. I will never be your friend... I had a mother who was a friend, and we're not doing that". That gave me chills. Protect childhood at all costs! Then be a mentor into adulthood. That's what it's about! Love Drew!
I have a 9 year old daughter and this stuff complete disgusts me. We’re supposed to protect our kids, let them be kids and keep their magic and wonder of the world for as long as possible, and we know where our children are all the damn time. This seriously breaks my heart for Drew. She was put in so many situations she should have never been even close too.
The fact that the 13 year old has more sense knowing she needed the rehab more than her adult handlers. So proud of baby drew, she should be too.
so many people failed Drew... I'm glad she's doing well now, she's a ray of sunshine
You know what's really sad, is that her time in that rigid and strict institution was probably the only time Drew had any kind of discipline and structure as a child, and that's why she knows she needed it so badly.
I never knew any of this but I always noticed that drew was sad in the eyes , they say the eyes are the windows to the soul.
She was straight up abused and groomed
I saw it in her eyes too. Glad she is still alive
Same. I always noticed her eyes. It makes sense now.
6:40 that is such a ridiculous thing for Oprah to say , she acted like an adult because she was literally forced into an adulthood and insanely neglected by her family. All those questions shouldn't have been directed at her they should have straightjm at the person who is supposed to be responsible for her.
Oprah always gets away with these interrogation , because in that era, Oprah and Diane Sawyer can do no wrong. But you are right, but that era was very "answer the old Stern talk show host" because .... Right. They just answered , always. Look at Diane Sawyer vs Britney Spears interview, just absolutely vicious to poor Britney !!!!
Oprah's evil. She loves adrenochrome
Oprah is so gross
Yea as if a KID has the moral compass to not run around and have fun at parties 🤦🏻♀️ Oprah was shaming her as if she was the one responsible and not STILL a kid!!!
@@nate2759 no I agree 100% that's why I just hated how Oprah almost grilled her in thr interview , like she was the adult instead of asking the mum all the questions
I can't imagine as a mother allowing my daughter to be exposed to this type of stuff. I'd be in prison if I saw a picture of a grown man carrying my 7 year old daughter out of a club at 3am.
Maybe he thought the same thing and was taking her home
@@secretcombination94 why are you making excuses for predators when that’s clearly not what happening in this
@@secretcombination94 at 3.am? The most likely scenario is something inappropriate
@@Tia-Louisa she literally was drinking and would wake up after blacking out inside the homes of grown men. If they were responsible they would find the mother and/or bring her home safely and leave her there. Not bring a child to their places. More than likely she was drugged many times and doesn’t remember, she was definitely groomed, and for the mother to not know or really care explains itself…she knew and/or was profiting of it. Children block things out mentally and they literally don’t know better much less what’s appropriate or not in situations unless taught or protected by their parents. The grown men young and old knew better than to do the things they did. They had no business having a little child alone outside of the presence of the parent or agent. There is no excuse for that. Hollywood is dark. Period. What is sick and disgusting today to most was literally presented as normal back then especially to children…aka grooming. A lot of shit goes on everywhere it’s just hidden these days
@@secretcombination94 if he was worried, he wouldn’t have waited until 3am. That man is a predator, we all know why he was taking her.
This is insane. I can't believe what I watching. These people are sick and Oprah was so judmental in this interview. I hope she healed from all the traumas. Pedophilia is a taboo only for the victims of it.
I met her once in Central Park. She frequents the fountain with her kiddos. We just nodded at one another knowingly. I didn’t want to force her to say hello because my grandma had kinda forced her into taking a pic with her the week before. My grandma is 83 and very charming so Drew probably conceded because she seems really nice and I mean, who says no to grandma?
So how wasn’t her fiancé jailed for being a P ? You’re 25 proposing marriage to a 9th grader? This is gross
The 80’s and 90’s were fucking awful and they didn’t give a shit about children being harmed in this was
It's not illegal to propose. Unless the adult is caught having sexual contact with the minor, there's nothing illegal that can be proven. In the past, a lot of girls got engaged senior year of highschool to their older college boyfriends.
@@mascara1777 that’s a completely different situation lmao you’re comparing a 17 yr old getting engaged to their college guy to someone 25 proposing to a 13 yr old it’s not the same lol
@@linda52122 the premise is the same because the fact is that a verbal proposal is not illegal. Unless the adult is caught in a sexual act with the minor, you can't put someone in jail for just proposing to someone. My mom was married at 14 because her guardians approved. She had to do this to escape the orphanage. Her older boyfriend proposing to her was not illegal. It's atrocious and not the right thing to do by any means, but you can't throw someone in jail unless there is clear evidence of illegal activity.
@@shewolfinubaka it's still horrible, do not let people make you think this isn't happening STILL
Honestly Drew’s story has been completely untold to me. Could you imagine the type of harm she’s experienced? I can’t.
Yes!!! She’s from the older generation of Hollywood where they don’t talk about things but it’s all there if you look for it. I am nearly certain she experienced SA as a child
Brooke Shields has the same sad story.
@@icu3869 ...Wait really?! WOW, I didn't know about her too. I'll be 43 in March '2022 & I NEVER heard anything about #BrookeShields living the SAME horrorible life as #DrewBarrymore but WOW. #SuperSad & #HeartBreaking Smh. :{
@@arelis4102 it’s actually very sad what happened Witt Brooke shields, she was posing completely nud3 for playboy at 10!!! Literally oiled up with a full face of makeup, completely awful and I can’t understand how playboy got away with it 🤢🤮
Also, Brooke shields is a forced trans. On top of everything else.
When you are born into that sick lifestyle, you don’t know any better😢
It’s really amazing how she turned her life around. She has gone through so much. ~ A guy named Emilio? That’s Emilio Estevez, a pretty famous actor from the 80’s. Also, Charlie Sheen’s brother.
It bothers me that Britney Spears children was taken away from her yet parents like Drew Barrymore’s parents didn’t have child services after them. It’s always who you know and who you are. Drew Barrymore had a babyface until like her 40s so no man who slowed dance with her or did anything to her can make the excuse that she “looked like an adult”.. the fact that she married before she learned how to pay her bills is so disgusting to me. And there’s photo proof and video proof of men gathering around her while she’s with them. This is insane.. why are they not held accountable? It’s not normal.. this is beyond us it seems.
Britney's family and the media are hugely responsible for the image of her at the time and thus taking her kids away :( all about money and control.
Barrymore wasnt gonna be that fortunate :( the money was based in her working.
My brother and I as kids experienced things and we wonder why social services never got involved, sometimes these dont happen, but it terrifies me, so many knew what was happening to Barrymore, the world knew
i didn’t know most of this and i’m appalled. i can’t believe she went through this. what a strong women 😞
right? I knew she had some issues early on with drinking but OMFG wtf
OMG she was only a little girl 😩
And the fact that she’s thriving and always has been, always shines positive light on everybody/everything else regardless of anything. The fact that so many of us didn’t know is insane but it shows how powerful she truly is
@@nate2759 because I was a kid. So 👍
Drew is not only gorgeous, but she is also a survivor ❤️
When you said that Drew wasn't really given a choice on what to like-she wasn't able to play with Barbies, she was taken to the club...that really stuck a cord with me. My childhood was rough, and my mother and cousin were in the drug game when I was growing up and, at that time, I absolutely loved it. It was all I knew, and it took me getting older and talking to 'normal people' to realize that that wasn't a good life at all.
My point is is that humans are so good at adapting to situations. You either find happiness in your situation, or you spiral out and can't cope with life at all. It seems like Drew found her happiness in partying and drugs because that was what she was thrust into. Here comfort zone was partying, and that isn't sustainable. Someday she's going to have to clean up her life, and given that that's all she's ever known, she's going to struggle to try and live a normal life that should have been given to her as a kid. It's a feeling of constant discomfort just trying to go throughout life being something that you genuinely aren't...sober.
I always wondered why people brought up Drew Barrymore's rehab but never talked about how she got there. It's clear to me now that there's a reason for that. When the narrative is "Drew Barrymore went to rehab at age 13", it's Drew's fault. When the narrative is "some of your favorite stars gave a nine year old champagne and then moved her on to harder stuff", that looks bad for a lot of people.
Please do an episode about Judy Garland! There's so much of this story I'd never heard, and so much of Shirley Temple's story I never heard, I bet you'd shed more light on poor Judy.
Shirley was never allowed to go anywhere I believe
Ms. Judy's story broke me. What a resilient woman, just like Drew. So sad...I could never let my kids into the industry if I was "well connected" as their parents.
I remember watching a movie with drew Barrymore in it when I was a teenager and my aunt told me that Drew was a child star and went to rehab really young. I asked my aunt why, because I hadn’t heard anything about it. She really casually said “oh, because the Hollywood royalty passed her around and fed her drugs and alcohol.” It came across like it was a well known thing that no one really questioned
That's sadly true. Many older people knew about it and accepted it as normal, that's why (perhaps) it's not bothered with these days.
First off, her mom was a terrible “friend” too, because how do you leave your drunk friend at a party and just bounce like that?! Friends take care of friends… you don’t just leave them drunk some where to get taken advantage of! Let’s face it, her mother wasn’t a mother or a friend, she was pimping her out! She still has deep seated issues with her “mother” to this day. Good for drew to get her life together and move forward like she has!
Her eyes never had any light. Dead inside. The amount of trauma she endured is crazy.
For me, it’s the opposite- she always had sparks in her eyes.
But Drew does seem a lot happier now. But it's so sad she went through all that as a child, and sadly the mother allowed it. My god.
Yep I see that too
@@halynabila9279 she was the light in all of the darkness
You can have pain without being dead inside.
she's probably the strongest person in the showbiz, she could have very well succumbed into her depression and died from an OD but no, she remained strong, resilient and rose up like a phoenix.
Thank you so much for this video!! Such an eye opening experience. Thank you so much again to you and for anyone else who took the time in making this!
I was emancipated at 16. My mother signed the papers without hesitation & didn't even go to the court hearing. I think once it gets to that point they have already failed so miserably as a parent, there's no point in fighting it.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you have other good motherly figures in your life 💕 blood doesn’t make family
I'll never understand people that sign their rights to their children, away. I know a girl who signed away her rights to her 3 kids and then had a baby not long after.. ugh. I'm so sorry that your parents were so okay with it but I am glad that you were able to break out of your situation.
She is very resilient. You don’t know how strong you are until you have to be.
I have a tattoo that says "you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have"

Her mother tried to save herself so bad by saying “I wasn’t at any bars with her”
SO, where were you ma’am as your 9 year old child was getting drunk at a club?!
Definitely my favorite Sloan video so far. Just found this channel recently and have been binge-watching all week long. Drew Barrymore/crochet projects are easily on my list of top 100 favorite things of all time :)
It blows my mind how accepted or normalized it was for her to be so young and going to bars and drinking and doing drugs?? How could no one call this out or try bringing it to light… I hate how people have so much power & get to just traumatize others without legal consequences
It's Hollywood's agenda they wanna normalize this
@@karinakawaiivfx it is normalcy among them elites live different life.
In the 80’s and 90’s people didn’t give a shit about protecting kids and it was just so normalized that not even the courts gave a shit so you couldn’t even press charges or call the cops because they wouldn’t care
@@goldsteinist many become elite this way too. They also drug and traffic there own and others children.
I’m just glad she got help and she’s overcome everything. She’s a wonderful woman!
It’s so crazy imagining her partying as a child - shame on the creeps that provided her with drugs and alcohol and shame on her parents for enabling it. It’s so cool to see how far she has come and what a sweet, genuine and wholesome person she is now.
Yes shake on them it’s still Hollywood
@@noeldee9236 ...U meant to type "SHAME" not Shake, right?! Just wondering. Lol. :}
I soo love that you said we need to protect Drew for the rest of her life; it gave me vibes of a virtual community/safe space for the sole purpose of supporting people and promoting self love. The genuine admiration and compassion you showed for her throughout this video was very beautiful.
Thank you so so much for this video. I balled my eyes out for this precious soul. Drew is such a beautiful person and has overcome huge, huge obstacles that a little girl should NOT have ever been engaged in. I came across your podcast and love it so much. Thank you for what you do.
I don't think the questions Oprah asks are disrespectful but the tone of voice she uses is very accusing, towards Drew (her mother completely deserved that tone) none of this is her fault, her mother and many other people failed to protect her as a 9 year old child
Oprah Winfrey , ugh. My mother forbade me and my sisters to watch her show. Due to her vulgar personality. Thank you mom 💕😊
@@PrincesseKittyKat Omg Oprah is NOT vulgar in comparison to Howard stern, Fox News or other trash TV talk shows. As someone who has watched her fair share of trash TV, Oprah's show was quite mild in comparison to the other garbage that was on TV. She is not everyone favorite person but she has changed and evolved as an interviewer.
Totally agree. I wonder if Oprah is triggered? (Like actually PTSD triggered.)
@@Anonymous-54545 Perhaps she was? She endured a fairly horrible childhood and ended up having a still birth at age 14.
@@anbanananna Why do you think that ?
How did not one person serve jail time for what happened to her?!
Hollywood doesn’t give a shit about kids or protecting them much less in the 80’s and 90’s
@@carlyb5296 Drew has compartmentalised it that's why she is "ok" with it
@@carlyb5296 How is Drew gonna press charges for things that happened 40 years ago?? 🤔 Pretty sure all the proof of her being handed drugs by adults as a minor and sexual assault against her I'd gone, especially since there were no advanced cameras or smartphone cameras back then.
@@femdivinemind7777 Drew has spoke out against it. How is she gonna press charges against someone when it happened 4 decades ago and all solid proof is in the wind?
@@carlyb5296 she was a literal child . They cannot consent . No me was charged because the elite & judicial system typically protects child predators especially the “elite” ones!
Objectively done. Well done, Sloan! 👍 I loved your puppy dog's reaction to her doll. It was almost like she recognized the similarity when you pulled it out of the box.
I've loved her since my childhood when I watched her on E.T. She's just absolutely soooo talented. People don't understand how hard it is to remain an A-list celebrity for damn near your entire career. She's always going to be recognized and loved, for her down to earth attitude, sweet spirit, and big heart.
Her mother on the other hand needs her a$$ whooped for robbing her of a child like childhood. That's total abuse and the fact that no one stood up and said hell no, not in here, and wouldn't allow her in their adult clubs or adult atmosphere. A bar wants business and publicity recognition for a celebrity hotspot, from a child star? That's ludicrous!!
So if the womb donor wasn't with her child, just who in the hell was? I'm sure she was abused sexually and touched, I pray she doesn't remember the worst of it. Because it's so obvious she was being feed drugs and alcohol for that purpose.
Where's the celebrity's with enough balls to stand up and say this isn't right. I would've found away to get her home or made her stay right by me making sure she was safe, until she left. But people are so worried about their careers and pissing people off. How can anyone look down on her? When most of them created her, looking the other way or contributed to her wild side style.
Then pedophilia being allowed in the wide open for the entire world to see even before she was emancipated. I mean it was a crime in those times as well, and they all should've been prosecuted. This was just so sickening, poor Drew! She such a strong courageous woman.
This just sickens me because all those adults knew her age yet was like "eff it" anyway. No child or should star shouldn't go through this and it's just irritating no one tried to advocate for her
They didn't want her despite her age, they wanted her because of it.
@@user-7AB23 yes they were into it (i wanna puke just writing that)
You’ll find that most of the Uber sexual women in the industry were taught it was normal to sell your sex, good even. Women are not sex dolls, we’re humans. We are affected no matter the silencing or circumstances surrounding sex, coming from someone who’s mom was exploited at a young age for money. It’s not normal and I’m ending the cycle too. 🥺❤️ Drew is so strong.
Hypersexuality is also a trauma response. So it maturing quickly.
This is why I’ll never support promiscuity it stems from a deeper issue. Same for promiscuous men. It’s a destructive lifestyle.
Thank y’all for your valid opinions ❤️
it is okay to sell your sex if YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING THAT INFORMED DECISION.
You just keep getting better and better here. I enjoy your "story telling". You're one of my faves.
I never knew her life was like this. Thank you for always bringing attention to things.
I remember growing up with girls who thought they were "mature for their age" and that's why they could "date older guys" but sadly that's not the case. that man is a predator and you're a child who can't understand the subtly of why this older man is wanting to dance at the club. It's not bc he can't tell you're age, it's bc he can.
‼️‼️
💯💯💯💯💯
also reminds me of seniors dating freshmen. That is an 18 year old dating a 14 year old. Its only 4 years, but a 14 year old knows nothing about life compared to an 18 year old
It’s a wonder she survived, she was completely failed as a child. Her mother was terrible, exposing her child to all those things. I’m so glad she has her own children and she’s protective of them, I hope she’s healing her inner child
I think she was born in the right generation because lots of child stars dealt with this and died young like Dorothy from the wizard of Oz )):
How about the father
How strong Drew must be to have come through all that and be so well adjusted. I don't know that many who would have been able to find their way back from all that. I'm looking at you Lindsay L. Good luck to her and for talking so publicly about her journey. I hope it helps others.
Drew Barrymore seems like a genuinely good and kind person who came from a really difficult upbringing. I have always admired her because she always seems so honest, sweet, and humble.
Holy crap I couldn’t fathom living on my own at 14. I was so immature and naive but Drew did that! And without guidance? She’s smarter than people give her credit for.
She really is a smarter actress! I agree with you!
I have a 10 year-old daughter. I can’t imagine letting a young girl into this kind of toxic lifestyle for any kind of money. A 10 year-old is in bed sleeping by 10:30 pm. 10 year-olds need 10 year-old friends, family time, fun with siblings, pets, playing dress up, baking with mom. She needs hobbies and time to think about who she is, what her values are, how to resolve conflicts with peers, and stand up for herself. I’m sorry for a woman who never got to have a carefree, stable, fun childhood. I’m sorry that she was never loved. Recovering from a childhood where she was never loved and cared for is the hardest work in life. I have so much respect for Drew. She could have easily thrown it all away, ended her life, or like most people, repeat the cycle to her own kids.
she’s been through so much. she literally lived so many struggles in her years as a child, and it’s incredible to see her grow up to be such a strong woman
Also I just subscribed to your channel because of this video! I love how respectful you were and how well you researched her. You did your homework and weren't just talking out the side of your mouth. Love it!
We really do have to recognize that "it was a different time" has been taught to us by the same people who present child abuse as entertainment. At no time in history in the real world has someone in their 20s or older wanted to have a child around to party, This is a very small group of people in a small area called Hollywood. We gotta get real about what we're looking at because it's right in our face
I agree. I don't care what time era it was, & I'm sick that is said almost like it's a justification for predators to get away with being traima inducing sick mf's. Right is right & wrong is wrong. This was all the way wrong. She was a CHILD and noone protected her. It's infuriating.
Im so happy that lately Hollywood is being exposed for what it really is: a small circle of rich elites who normalize pedophilia. They are so wrapped up in a fantasy land, where everyone admires them and they have access to whatever they want. That's not real, they see themselves as Gods who can get away with anything. As time passes, this Hollywood empire is being exposed and is fortunately declining. These people need to know that they are not special or untouchable. They are nothing without our admiration, and that is steadily going away day by day.
Ditto. U nailed it. Both of u.
very true..........an 10 year old drinking and partying, dressing in a sexy way, flirting and slow dancing with men has never been a normal thing
Love how your featuring older generations of child stars. You should do a deep dive on Oprah, she's a part of shady stuff; the abuse in her school in Africa, her ties to a cult leader, and Harvey Weinstein. Some other deep dive suggestions: Carrie Fisher, singer from the Mama's and the Papas music group and his relationship with his daughter.
Alright Q calm down dear
@@vykkye all the stuff I mentioned was before Q showed up on 4chan, grow up.
Also she supports Dr Oz 🤢
Yes👍🏼
She’s affiliated with and supports multiple cult leaders by the way.
This was a great video Sloan!! I never knew about Drew’s past. It’s pretty jaw dropping to hear about some of the stuff she did with all of these grown adults around her. Like you said, where was her MOTHER!!! love you so much Sloan!! Stay safe xx ❤️
This was my first time watching your channel the fact that you were so kind and compassionate about drew Ty i have gone through so much in my life that I was not a good parent I'm so proud of her i have officially subscribed ty
My heart goes out to drew, I’ve always loved her but I never knew any of this tbh. There’s only one reason why grown ass men want to get a little girl drunk or on drugs and it’s disgusting. Her family wasn’t there and that’s even worse. I’m glad she made it through, I don’t know how many could tbh
What's even more fucked up is that even if her family were there I doubt any of them would have stepped in and put a stop to it just a feeling that I get from the type of people that they are none of them would've cared since they didn't care about drew anyway. The human race is sick
Those types of mothers , are just pure evil , 🤬🤬🤬
I'm an '80s baby, and I remember hearing about Drew being in & out of rehab but, didn't know the horrors this woman had to endure in her childhood. If Drew & her mother were poor, Drew would've been taken away from that woman & she would've & should've been jailed for abandoning her daughter since she was 10 yrs. old. Honestly, that woman nerds to be *under* the jail for abandoning her child in the land of child predators.
My favorite movie is Ever After. There's a scene where Cinderella (Drew) finally breaks and asks her evil stepmother "Did you ever love me, even just once?" And the stepmother says "How could anyone love a stone in their shoe?" And Drew looks so absolutely devastated for real and knowing what she went through, it had to have been 😢 😭 But in the end, she gets the Prince and control of her life (she frees herself from a kidnapping rapist who is twice her age!), while she banishes the stepmother and the mean girl sister to the laundry pit. Every ounce of that girl is in this movie! The musical score is beautiful and the costumes are divine! Will always be my favorite 💕
Thank you! You have done an awesome and respectfully job! I've always loved Drew. Most adults let this poor girl down, but because of that she's turned out being g the best mom!
You are the most honest with your content..Thank you! Thank you! Don't stop ever!
I adore Drew. Her beauty, her voice, talent and how strong she is. To have a childhood like hers and to be able to overcome it all. I can't believe her mother took her clubbing when she was a child.
mad respect for her being open about her struggles. that sh*t is NOT easy.
came here from Drew's interview she did last week with jennette mccurdy. this video is really enlightening about her past, im glad i watched this.
As a mother to a 10 year old daughter I could NEVER imagine letting her go though what Drew went through.. taking her to parties and splitting ways now knowing where she is, leaving her with grown men.. just heartbreaking. I’m so glad Drew didn’t go the way everyone expected, and I love that she’s the mother she so desperately needed to her own girls 💞
Please do a video on Robert Downey Jr. ! I feel like him and Drew had very similar childhoods in the way that adults didn’t protect them at all and exploited them. And how they have both come such a long way and are now happy and successful
True and he also made it out well
She was 15 and engaged?! To a 25 year old man?! Wtf.
It's crazy how she managed to become this amazing human being now it sucks she had to go through all of this
What a sick industry. The entertainment industry needs to be shut down completely. Music, actors, commercials, all of it. Its all ultimately useless.
