Drew Barrymore is setting the record straight on a family matter.
The actress clarified what she meant during a recent Vulture interview, after media outlets took her quotes to mean that she wished her mother, Jaid Barrymore, was dead. "All their moms are gone, and my mom's not," she told the outlet. "And I'm like, Well, I don't have that luxury. But I cannot wait. I don't want to live in a state where I wish someone to be gone sooner than they're meant to be so I can grow."
Barrymore then posted a video message on Instagram June 5 to correct the narrative: "To all you tabloids out there, you have been f--king with my life since I was 13 years old. I have never said that I wish my mother was dead. How dare you put those words in my mouth."
