Drew Barrymore on Why She Regrets “Chaste” ‘Playboy’ Photos: “Never Knew There Would Be an Internet”

The actress and talk show host also gets "very vulnerable" about parenthood, social media and wanting to "protect them [her kids] the way I wanted to be protected.”

This included Barrymore recalling her childhood in Hollywood and growing up in an “unorthodox” way, with her “experience of being so out there in the world and going to adult environments and working” as a child. “I was around plenty of hedonistic scenarios at parties and even in my own home where the viewing was of highly sensitive natures and caused me tremendous shame,” she wrote. But thanks to the kindness people have shown her throughout her life since she “was lucky enough to start engaging with people” from a young age, she now wants “to give that goodness right back in reciprocity.” And the Charlie’s Angels star wants to do that by helping to “protect our children from being put in scenarios where they cannot always control the rhetoric of the multiple-party dynamics that get put on record on a cloud only to potentially haunt them one day.”
