Drew Barrymore Tears Up On Air Over Post-C-Section Body Insecurities

Her candor pointed to a makeover segment built to invite honest talk about bodies after childbirth.

Overview

  • Drew Barrymore, during a “Scared to Wear” makeover on her CBS talk show that aired Monday, grew emotional as a guest who lost 75 pounds tried form-fitting clothes.
  • She told the audience she has had two C-sections, said she feels “wrecked down there,” and said she avoids many types of pants.
  • Barrymore recalled wearing a short shirt with a jacket she could not keep closed and thinking she did not want anyone to see her midsection.
  • She said her daughters, Olive and Frankie, often nudge her to try different outfits, which helps her step outside her comfort zone.
  • Coverage from outlets including Entertainment Weekly, USA TODAY, Fox News, Page Six, and HELLO! quoted her remarks and linked them to her earlier on-air stories about being told she was “too heavy” at age 10.
