“It was this quiet, confident journey,” she said.
In turn, Barrymore validated Kelly’s emotional reality and shared that she’d really struggled after her. She eventually retreated to Utah to work through it. “I went there to go change my life. I went through a really painful divorce and I wasn’t doing very well,” she told Machine Gun Kelly in the promotional clip. “And I had these two kids that I had to fight for, and I needed help.”
She also said she hopes it’s not the last time celebrities—and the rest of us—get real about life being less than perfect. She pointed to Bella Hadid’s recent as an example of public figures sharing their truth. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a revolt against the perfection right now that we are all forced to see and feel through social media,” she told thehosts. “I think it is time for us, especially coming out of what we’ve come out of. How can we show our vulnerability? How can we talk about if something is going on? What is the path to getting better? And then talking about that journey and being more communicative.
earlier this year, she visited the psychiatric ward where she’d spent a year and a half as a 13-year-old. “Life is so wonderful compared to what it was in this place. I can’t even believe I actually get to be where I am now because when I was here I didn’t see that, I thought I would be here forever,” she said during the visit, holding back tears.
