Drew Barrymore is well-known for her quirky personality and up-close-and-personal interviews.
But now the US actress-turned-talk show host has come under fire for a “cringe” comment she made during her chat with Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she referred to as “Momala of the country.”
On Monday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the two women steered away from politics as they discussed their blended families.
After Barrymore gushed over her kids’ stepmum, Harris revealed why she doesn’t use the term “step-parent” when it comes to her husband’s children.
“I love Disney. However, Disney kind of messed that up for a lot of us over the years — you know, the evil step-parent,” Harris said. “Their word for me is Momala.”
Later on in the segment, Barrymore rounded back to their initial conversation when she urged Harris to be “Momala” of the United States.
“I keep thinking in my head that we all need a mum. I’ve been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now,” Barrymore said as she slid in closer to the politician.
“But in our country, we need you to be Momala of the country.”
Barrymore then grabbed onto Harris’ hands as the VP smiled somewhat uncomfortably.
Social media users had a field day with the awkward interaction, which has since been labelled as “super creepy” and “weird.”
“This is so embarrassing @DrewBarrymore is almost in her lap,” one wrote on X, while another added, “This has got to be one of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen.”

A third person said, “If Drew got any closer to Momala, she’d be sitting in her lap,” before someone else asked, “Have we reached peak cringe yet?”
Even X owner Elon Musk chimed in, with the billionaire commenting a face palm emoji on the clip.
