Drew Barrymore’s post-divorce drinking got so intense that even her therapist couldn’t handle it.
In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, the “Drew Barrymore Show” host said she found herself reaching for the bottle so often after calling it quits with Will Kopelman that she sought professional help.
That is until he eventually quit on her.
“He just said, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’” she recalled. “It was really about my drinking. I said, ‘I get it. I’ve never respected you more. You see I’m not getting better. And I hope, one day, that I can earn your trust back.’”
Barrymore, 48, began to spiral, and some of her closest pals — including actress Cameron Diaz — called the situation “difficult to watch.”
