“I just don\u2019t like to be petted on television,\u201d Stewart explained of the moment she playfully pushed Barrymore off her during a November 2024 interview.<\/p>\n

Drew Barrymore<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Martha Stewart<\/a> have made a public service announcement: they have no beef.<\/p>\n

While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show on Monday, Barrymore and Stewart addressed their viral moment that made headlines in 2024.<\/p>\n

“People thought that we had beef — or that you had beef with me over that — and I didn’t get it,” Barrymore began. “I was so surprised.”<\/p>\n

In November last year, Stewart playfully pushed Barrymore off for petting her shoulder during another interview between the pair, and the clip went viral.<\/p>\n

“Oh, I just don’t like to be petted on television,” Stewart declared which caused Barrymore to coyly reply, “Understood, Martha. I won’t pet you again.”<\/p>\n

Stewart added that was well aware of Barrymore’s habit of petting her guests.<\/p>\n

“You pet a lot of people,” Stewart said.<\/p>\n

She then turned to the audience: “She\u2019s a very cozy girl, don’t you think? I’m not so cozy.”<\/p>\n

Barrymore — well aware of her tendencies to get close to her guests — joked that Stewart’s attitude toward not being touched isn’t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n

“It’s certainly not putting anyone off or turning them away because we’re all on the Martha Stewart feeder,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s true, and I think you’ve given people a lot of confidence in life through maintaining being true to yourself. That’s been a very guiding light for us,” the actress added.<\/p>\n

At one point during Stewart and Barrymore’s conversation during the November 2024 episode of\u00a0The Drew Barrymore Show, the latter — who was already sitting close to the former — further leaned into Stewart’s space and asked her what makes her feel “soft and gooey.”<\/p>\n

Barrymore bit her finger with a flirty smile, to which Stewart asked, “What makes me soft and gooey? Soft and gooey treatment.”<\/p>\n

“When you’re treated like a lady,” Barrymore added, petting Stewart’s back, before the TV personality seemingly playfully pushed the daytime talk show post away.<\/p>\n

“You’re the wrong gender,” she joked, as Barrymore dramatically fell back on the couch.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, during her appearance on\u00a0WWHL following the moment, Barrymore set the record straight on her now-known interview style, sharing why she gets into her guests’ personal space on the couch when she interviews them.<\/p>\n

According to the actress, it’s just in her nature.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know. I can’t actually control it,” she admitted, before revealing that there was a focus group for\u00a0The Drew Barrymore Show when the show premiered in 2020.<\/p>\n

“I got focus-grouped when we launched and it was not good,” she said. “It was awful.”<\/p>\n

Fellow\u00a0WWHL\u00a0guest and\u00a0CBS Mornings\u00a0host Nate Burleson brought up how Barrymore previously vowed that she planned on trying to maintain some more distance with her guests in the new year.<\/p>\n

“How’s that going?” Burleson asked, to which Barrymore replied, “Not good!”<\/p>\n
