Is Drew Barrymore's interview in Viral Airline Magazine real? The whole situation is pretty wild

It's a thing for a publication to have implications or to make a false accidental quote of their subject, but to make an interview completely … like, how's it going? A that Actually has it ever happened? Well, a viral tweet about a supposed interview of Drew Barrymore, discovered by an EgyptAir passenger, has raised this issue. If you have been on Twitter in the past 24 hours, you may be wondering: is the viral air interview with Barrymore real? While HuffPost called the interview "Very Fake", the airline seems to be loyal to the story. There are so many things to settle here, so let's go.

The whole situation is really weird. It's one of those types, "I'll believe it when I see it," you see? You are about to have other choices than to believe it, thanks to the pictures that writer and political analyst Adam Baron took of Horus Barrymore of the magazine spread. Baron posted a series of magazine photos on Twitter, subtitling one of the photos: "This interview with Drew Barrymore in Egypt's Air in Flight magazine is, uh, surreal." Yes yes that's it.

Baron's tweets became quickly viral on Tuesday and prompted the Barrymore representative to make a statement. Asked about HuffPost's interview, a spokeswoman for the actor said she "did not participate" in the Horus his team was actively working with her on the subject. (Bustle contacted Barrymore's agent for comments, but did not receive an immediate response.)

First of all, it's hard to imagine that a celebrity, no matter how brutal or outspoken, would say half of the things in this interview. It's hard to imagine that Barrymore in particular – who, frankly, presents himself as a pretty Zen human being – would say all of that, however.

When she was asked about the "status of women today," for example, the magazine claims that Barrymore responded, "I can not deny that women have accomplished a great feat. [the] last century; People who study the status of women in the course of history have made notable progress. "Wait, what?

Fake Barrymore went on to explain: "This naturally concerns Western women who will only be satisfied if they acquire the rights they deserve for society.This is especially true since women make considerable efforts that men are unable to exercise because of their many activities, commitments and obligations. "This makes no sense.

As if that were not enough, the rest of the copy of the background and filling seems insulting. Take, for example, this paragraph of the introduction: "We know that Barrymore has had close to 17 relationships, engagements and marriages, psychologists think her behavior is natural because she did not have the male role model in her life after the divorce of her parents when she was only 9 years old. "

Wednesday afternoon EgyptAir ended up responding to the false interview, but their statement did not clarify anything. After aviation analyst Alex Macheras @EGYPTAIR tagged the airline in a tweet about the piece,

"Dear Sir, here is an interview in a professional journal by Dr. Aida Tekla, former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and one of the voting members of the Golden Globes."

Wait, though, because the plot continues to thicken. Nobody seems to know who is the editor of Horus the magazine is, by the way, but BuzzFeed and HuffPost have tried to understand it. Theoretically, the editor would be the most official word of this set, a puzzling debacle, but the best thing to do would be to listen to the author herself.

A Twitter account seems to belong to the author who conducted the interview in question – Dr. Aida Takla (@ Aidatakla1) – ended up talking about the controversy. In a series of three consecutive tweets on Wednesday, Takla wrote that she "corresponding summer for many publications for decades "and that the publications for which she writes are allowed" to edit the final version of the interviews ".

so Takla wrote"This is not to say that the interview with Drew Barrimoor, which took place in New York, is genuine and far from fake.With regard to Drew, we interviewed him several times I've seen her growing up before my eyes, she's charming and talented. "(In a follow-up tweet, Takla explained that the name of the actor was misspelled was apparently the result of dictating the tweet.)

Although Takla's account is not verified (and the signature in the Horus the article is spelled "Tekla"), this has not stopped @EGYPTAIR from retweet his comments and adding, "Thank you @ Aidatakla1 for clarification." Although this does not completely clarify the current situation.

Chris Miller, president of Flower Films and Barrymore Brands, ended this complicated situation in an email to BuzzFeed:

"The writer wrote the question and answer part of the interview based on what she had heard Drew say during one of these [HFPA] press conferences but she says that she did not write the intro. The writer tells the magazine that this introduction was written after the journalist's name. It seems that it was she who wrote it but it was not the case. So technically, Drew did not sit down with EgyptAir for an interview, but an HPFA member journalist sometimes provides articles to EgyptAir and that's what happened. "

Although it looks like it may be the last word from the Barrymore team, it still does not really feel like everything has been solved. So much confusion, so many questions. Someone else needs a nap?
