‘Cringey’ Drew Barrymore slammed for caressing Oprah Winfrey during interview: ‘She’s really creeping me out’

Drew Barrymore can’t keep her hands to herself.

The “Never Been Kissed” star was blasted as “cringey” after uncomfortably caressing Oprah Winfrey in a preview of Tuesday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

In the clip, the duo was seen cozied up on the couch while talking about the importance of interacting with the studio audience.

Barrymore tightly held onto Winfrey’s hand while running her other hand up and down the legendary media mogul’s arm.

“Something that I learned about you, because I didn’t know this detail, was that you would spend time with the audience outside of the show you were filming,” the “Charlie’s Angel” actress said.

During a preview of Tuesday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the talk show host was also seen caressing Winfrey’s arm.

The “Oprah Winfrey Show” alum, 69, seemingly attempted to get out of Barrymore’s grasp as she adjusted her seating position while responding.

“It is necessary — my crew used to be like, ‘Oh my God, how much time you should go spend talking to that audience?’” Winfrey replied while slightly distancing herself.

Barrymore, 48, then let go of her guest amid her enthusiasm over Winfrey’s answer.

The media mogul seemingly attempted to get out of Barrymore’s grasp.

The “Color Purple” star then started talking with her hands while applauding Barrymore for running the daytime talk show without an audience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“That’s why this is so hard to do without an audience, and I was complimenting you on the fact that you got through it without an audience because it’s almost — because you’re not getting their energy,” she said.

“Why is Drew always trying to force the moment? Yo Drew, chill out,” one Instagram user wrote.

“Drew is too overbearing and cringey & it doesn’t seem genuine the way she fawns all over her guests!!” another wrote.

“The hand hold and the arm being caressed is past my boundary,” someone else agreed.

“Oprahs body language was so clear she wanted her hand back,” a fourth chimed in.

The “Never Been Kissed” star is known for being touchy with her guests.
