At one point she said: "I over talk and I share things that make people feel uncomfortable."
While being dressed for the show Drew also admitted: "I hate the sound of my own voice" and even went so far as to say: "There’s so much going on in my head about how much I dislike myself as a human being, and this is really hard."
Her revelations were filmed as part of her digital docuseries, The Making Of, during which she also spoke candidly in a taped interview.

"I have worked so hard at things because I am full of flaws," she said. "Oh my god, I'm so screwed up. I'm so imperfect.
"I’ve been so broken so many times in my life, and yet none of that can be an excuse to stay that way or to be upset or angry or ever take that out on anyone else. Or to have that be a reason that you can't get out of that and go to the next place.

Drew added: "I just want to get it right. I want to do everything to the best of my ability."
Her first show saw her reunite with her Charlie’s Angels co-stars, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu.
While Lucy was able to be in the studio, but socially distanced, Cameron dialed in from LA.
Drew has a celebrity-packed first week planned and will welcome a string of guests including Reese Witherspoon, Jane Fonda, Tyra Banks, Adam Sandler, and Charlize Theron.
