This is a powerful message! “If saying the truth ends a relationship then it is probably a relationship that needed to end.”
-
Drew was the one person in this industry who could provide this space for Jennette and I'm so glad she did. This interview didn't even feel like an interview, it felt like a very candid and compassionate conversation.
-
This is honestly the first time I’ve seen an actual real conversation between two women who have been emotionally abused by their mothers on television. Thank You. I feel seen. I feel connected to you both. ❤
-
I need Drew to write her story now called “I’m not waiting for my mom to die”
-
Jennette is so articulate, it’s beyond clear she was meant to write. I hope she will continue to explore whatever creative avenues she wants to
-
Honestly, drew having her own talk show was the best thing to happen. She LIVED through it: relationships, trauma, addiction, and now happiness and true success
-
Jeanette does not throw her mother under the bus in this book. She idolized her. This book is about waking up.
-
I don’t think we, the viewers, truly grasp the HUGE amount of Jeanette is doing in our world right now just by speaking out. She is so authentic, so articulate, and just sharing her experiences resonates so much with so many of us who haven’t been able to speak our truths on nuclear family relationships and the dark side of some. She is so inspiring, and I wish I could meet her!
-
This is not an interview... this is a THERAPY SESSION between two great friends! I love both of these women and I just knew that this was going to be such an amazing conversation. I really got lost into this and I didn't want it to end ❤️
-
Wow when Drew said “I don’t want to paint her negatively I don’t want people to think of her negatively but the truth is tough stuff” I got goosebumps. She articulated something I’ve always felt and never said aloud and never have heard anyone else validate. Thank you.
-
That “if speaking the truth destroys a relationship” thing that Jennette said reminds of this one quote: “If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth."
-
Drew is probably the one person who could actually truly understand everything Jennete went through because she went through the same with her mother. So proud and happy with how far Drew has come and everything she accomplished and the woman she became. Drew is amazing period.
-
"I'm actually asking honestly because I don't know..." "I'm here to ask for advice because I have a lot to learn from you." "I knew I could trust you because of your comedy." Wow. Drew's ability to empower is so intimate and that humbleness allows so much of that truth to flow forward!
-
“Us who grew up without a certain type of love, have more of it to give,” this phrase hit me. My dad grew up in a broken household and he loves us so intensely. I feel his love every single day and I am so grateful for it. ❤
-
This is probably the most natural, heartfelt and genuine interview i've ever seen. Drew is such a pure soul and Jennette can see that too
-
I just love how she makes every interview feel like a private conversation not a public interview it’s so refreshing and comforting just to watch
-
“Us who didn't have a certain type of love maybe even have more of it to give” I put my phone down and just sobbed. What a healing conversation.
-
Jeannette saying 'shame is a useless emotion' was really eye opening for me. As I suffer from anxiety, re-living moments of 'shame' has always brought me down to a low point and makes my anxiety spiral, to the point where I've struggled to make relationships with people outside my family. I agree that I'd rather feel guilty than ashamed, I can face guilt without destroying my mental state.
-
I so related to Drew saying, “I think, us who didn’t have a certain type of love, maybe even have more of it to give.” I’ve always felt this way, but it feels so meaningful to be validated by others who have gone through similar things❤ I hope anyone watching who have had similar experiences find peace in their lives and in themselves 🫶🤍

We need to get Drew in a room with Brooke Shields, Natasha Lyonne and Jennette all together for a conversation like this. Child stars from different generations talking about their lives
