Sarah Drew on Trolls Who Called Her Ugly: 'I Got Addicted’


In a revealing new interview, Grey’s Anatomy and Everwood actress Sarah Drew says it was ‘damaging’ when trolls called her ‘ugly’ online in her early twenties

Drew, now 44, was in her early twenties when she landed the part of shy bookworm Hannah in the WB family drama — and she says that, although social media wasn’t yet booming, she still found fans calling her “ugly” online. “ Everwood was my first show ever, and I got addicted, there was no social media yet, but there were forums and message boards,” she said on a recent episode of the “Broad Ideas” podcast, hosted by Rachel Bilson and Olivia Allen. The actress, who is currently appearing in festive Hallmark series Mistletoe Murders, shares two children with her husband, academic Dr Peter Lanfer — son Micah is 12 and daughter Hannah (yes, like her Everwood character!)
