Drew Barrymore Says Giving Up Alcohol Took Away 'Guilt And Dysfunction'

Anyone who has ever had a manicure knows that the setting can be likened to a confessional, or perhaps a dinner date with a close friend or significant other. Something about two human beings sitting across a table from one another, holding each other's hands, is naturally conducive to emotional intimacy. Machine Gun Kelly experienced that last year when he was on "The Drew Barrymore Show" (via CBS News). "I kinda am sick of smiling all day when I don't feel like smiling," MGK said while painting Barrymore's nails a minty green color from his new unisex nail polish line. "A lot of what I do is for other people, and I haven't given myself the space and the time to say that it's okay to not be okay." Barrymore responded with trademark humor ("I don't mean to sound creepy but I like you so much more!") and then dropped a less-than-trademark personal revelation.

"I went through a really painful divorce," Barrymore told MGK, "and I wasn't doing very well." The actress and talk show host goes on to explain that the depression she experienced after separating from then-husband Will Kopelman in 2016 (per Vanity Fair) led her to a treatment facility in Utah. Barrymore later explained to the "CBS Mornings" team that she is "not a rug-sweeper" and when MGK told her that he wasn't okay, she wanted to create the space to talk about that. Then, she shared something of her own.
