Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, 49-year-old Drew said she won’t get too close to her guests.
For months, fans have been complaining about the “Charlie’s Angels” star’s interview behavior.
During the conversation, the interviewer asked what the fans can look forward to in the coming season.
“I will try to maintain physical distance, which is not my strong point,” the TV star explained.

She continued, “Do you know how hard this pandemic has been for me? I was alone in a studio.
“I like being around people! Not everyone likes that and I feel sorry for those people.”
“IT’S REALLY FUNNY”
Drew’s statement was shared on a pop culture-themed Reddit forum, where users shared their true opinions on Drew’s interview style.
“I’ve seen her show and the interviews are weird, she practically climbs on people’s laps,” one wrote.
Another said: ‘Her show was constantly on at the gym and I witnessed her weird lack of awareness of privacy and it just got on my nerves.
“Not everyone wants you to kneel in front of them and hold their hand to express your feelings for them.”
“She needs one of those partitions like in the supermarket or the bank,” admitted a third.
Someone else said: “Your behavior is unprofessional. You book guests for your show to promote what you are up to.”
“They’re working and not there to cuddle with Drew. It’s very weird to do something like that to strangers.”
INTERVIEW MOMENTS
When she’s on the show and talking to guests, Drew likes to get comfortable on her interview couch while listening to a story.

During their discussion, Drew sat very close to Oprah and the two held hands throughout the interview.
The clip was shared on TikTok, where fans found the interview “embarrassing.”
One wrote: “Simply creepy!”
Another said: “She is embarrassing and constantly violates other people’s privacy.”
Despite the backlash, Oprah defended Drew.
“Rubbing her arm really calmed me down,” she told TMZ. “Drew is amazing and I love that she’s always herself.”
