Calling Drew his "work wife", one said, "His work wife is Drew Barrymore. Do not disrespect my queen." Some were glad to see her trending and thankful that it was for that reason. Another posted, "I’m so glad that Drew Barrymore isn’t trending for the myriad of reasons I could have imagined she was trending."
