Drey Barrymore posted a video in which she pushed back at the tabloids that pushed a story that she wished her mother Jaid was dead.
Barrymore has a difficult relationship with her mother and shared their struggles. But tabloids took that in a sensationalist direction.
She started her video response with anger in her voice over a lifetime of tabloids commenting on her every move.
"To all you tabloids out there, you have been f**king with my life since I was thirteen years old."
The talk show host went on to say they twisted a moment of vulnerability into something she never meant.
"How dare you put those words in my mouth....Don't twist my words around."
