Actress Drew Barrymore experienced a tense moment when she interviewed Reneé Rapp in New York City.
While Drew Barrymore was chatting with singer and actress Reneé Rapp at an event at The 92nd Street in New York City about her new album, a man almost got on stage and amid the commotion yelled at her: “You know who I am.” ”. Immediately, security was activated and she had to be escorted to prevent the harasser from committing an offense.
It all started when Drew Barrymore was in the middle of the conversation and a man from the audience shouted her name so loudly that she surprised herself and said: “Oh my God. Yes, hello". However, wanting to continue the conversation, the mysterious man approached the stage and told her her full name.
Amid the commotion, Reneé Rapp immediately protected her and escorted her and security off stage. The man kept shouting: “You know who I am. I need to see you some time while you’re in New York.” So far neither the actress's team nor the New York Police Department have provided any details of the horrific event.
After the sinister encounter with that man occurred, Drew Barrymore and Reneé Rapp returned to the stage and finished the conversation with the support of the audience. One journalist noted that “both actresses handled it like bosses” and quickly recovered to continue “an incredible conversation.”
After the scare, Drew Barrymore praised Reneé Rapp for her “protective skills” and the audience cheered “We love you, Drew!” “I have a new definition of your sensuality. It is that level of protection,” the actress told Rapp because of her quick reaction. “Okay, so what were we talking about?” she said with a laugh to leave the madness behind.
