It’s been more than four years since Drew Barrymore gave birth to her youngest child, Frankie, but rude-AF body-shamers still think she looks pregnant. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 43-year-old actress recalled a recent interaction in which a woman came up to her and told her that she looks pregnant, despite Barrymore giving birth years ago.
The “Santa Clarita Diet” star told the story in a roundtable with other comedy actresses, such as Allison Brie, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Debra Messing. When “Divorce” actress Molly Shannon recalled an audition in which someone asked if she had gained “like a hundred pounds,” Barrymore was inspired to disclose her recent body-shaming experience.
Barrymore—who has two daughters, Olive, 5, and Frankie, 4, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman—recalled a woman coming up to her at a restaurant and telling her that she has “so many kids.” When Barrymore corrected her, informing her that she only has two, the woman gestured at the actress’s stomach, assuming that she has another on the way. That’s when Barrymore shut her down and told her that, no, she isn’t pregnant, she just gained weight.
“That happened to me recently,” Barrymore said. “I’d gained a bunch of weight, and I was in a restaurant, and a woman goes, ‘God, you have so many kids.’ And I was like, ‘Well, two.’ And she goes, ‘And obviously one on the way.’ I looked at her and, for the first time in my life, I go, ‘No, I’m just ****ing fat.'”

Nothing Leftists hate more than the sight of a pregnant woman. Destroying the planet, stealing their air and all.
At least she’s dressed modestly, unlike some who are overweight. It wouldn’t take much for her to get down to a healthier weight, either. She’s still very pretty.
That being said, some people are amazingly insensitive and should think before they speak.
Reminds me of “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”....
Michelle: What are you picking on us for any way? We are NOT the ones who got fat.
Christie: We’re pregnant, you half-wit.
Michelle: Oh yeah? Well, I hope your babies look like monkeys!
She has demons, but at least she has not chosen a barren womb; Choosing life counts for a lot these days. She is an attractive woman blessed with a lovely smile. She may not be swimsuit material for SI but she has greater gift, that of raising her two daughters. It will be a great responsibility knowing that they are probably are tainted by addictive genes too.
you sound like my big sister. Some folks spend way too much time worrying about the size of other peoples rear ends.
Unless you have to take care of them MYOB.
She’s naturally photogenic, even when fat.
It’s refreshing to see a pretty actress not force herself to be super thin. I’m 100% sure she was abused as a child. How nice to own her own body. She looks fine.
Love that bit. Actually, all of his routines. He’s hilarious!
And so what if you are fat?

40 is not too young to have kids, but 60 is too old to have teenagers

Tell her not to get all hot under the collar.
Sweathog.
I learned a long time ago never to assume that a woman is pregnant (at least not out loud) even if she appears to be about to go into labor.
With all the “I didn’t know I was pregnant” stories, and wasn’t there a TV show about that? I wouldn’t assume someone was pregnant even if she was IN labor!
Considering she started on drugs at age 9, she’s lucky to be alive in the first place.
True, I gather she had a pretty crappy childhood.
