In a stunning display of backlash against Hollywood’s growing “woke” culture, Candace Owens has unleashed a scathing critique of Drew Barrymore, dubbing her the “queen of cringe” as the actress’ ratings continue to plummet. Owens, known for her fierce commentary, didn’t hold back in a recent podcast episode, calling out Barrymore’s bizarre attempts to stay relevant, including kneeling before a trans activist during an interview.
“What’s next, interpretive dance interviews?” Owens scoffed, highlighting the absurdity of Barrymore’s actions as a desperate play for attention amidst a ratings disaster. With her talk show tanking, Barrymore appears to be grasping at straws in a bid to salvage her career, opting for a faux-woke approach that Owens claims is not only degrading but also a bastardization of feminism.
Owens argues that Barrymore’s antics are symptomatic of a larger issue plaguing Hollywood, where the pursuit of wokeness is costing them viewership and credibility. The numbers don’t lie: the 2023 Oscars saw a staggering 58% drop in viewers compared to 2020, as audiences grow weary of being lectured by celebrities who seem disconnected from everyday realities.
As Hollywood doubles down on its progressive agenda, Owens warns that the backlash is brewing. The so-called “great woke backlash” is gaining momentum as ordinary people tire of being preached at by millionaire elites. Owens cites the decline of major brands like Bud Light, which faced significant fallout after aligning with a trans influencer, as evidence that the tide is turning against the woke narrative.
With stars like Gina Carano risking their careers to speak out, the landscape of entertainment may be on the brink of a seismic shift. The message is clear: audiences are demanding authenticity over propaganda, and if Hollywood doesn’t wake up, it risks a long fall from grace. As Owens put it, the woke bubble is about to burst—and when it does, it promises to be a messy affair.
