Drew Barrymore has shared a heartfelt reflection on her tumultuous childhood and her 1995 Playboy photoshoot in a vulnerable Instagram post titled 'PHONE HOME'. Barrymore, who grew up in Hollywood surrounded by 'hedonistic scenarios', expressed regret over her Playboy shoot, initially believing it would remain private due to its paper format, unaware of the future impact of the internet. Now a mother of two daughters, she emphasizes the importance of protecting children from the excesses she experienced, particularly in the age of social media. Barrymore's past experiences of having 'too much access and excess' drive her to shield her daughters from similar exposure. She also conveyed empathy for her own mother, recognizing the challenges of parenting in the spotlight. Barrymore's message serves as a cautionary tale for parents navigating the modern digital landscape.
