Part 2/13:
The controversy centered around a particularly shocking segment on Barrymore’s show, which many viewers found intensely unprofessional and invasive. During the segment, Barrymore, quite unexpectedly, removed her own sock and bare foot — presumably after a day of shooting — and proceeded to sniff it on camera. She then offered her foot to an unidentified guest for inspection, before shoving it close to her nose again, all in front of the camera and the audience. This awkward display was met with immediate backlash due to its grossly inappropriate nature and the blatant disregard for personal boundaries.
