Drew Barrymore regrets posing for 'Playboy' in 'chaste' 1995 shoot, thought it was 'unlikely to resurface'

In a "very vulnerable" Instagram post, Drew Barrymore reflected on how her tumultuous childhood has inspired her parenting and the remorse she feels over her "Playboy" shoot.

"I was around plenty of hedonistic scenarios at parties and even in my own home where the viewing was of highly sensitive natures and caused me tremendous shame," Barrymore wrote in the post titled, PHONE HOME. "We, as kids, are not meant to see these images. And, yes, I was even a big exhibitionist when I was young due to these environments I was in. I thought of it as art, and I still do not judge it." "I was on the cover of the ‘National Enquirer’ and every other magazine as a washed-up tragedy … I wanted to disappear from the planet and never show my face again." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"But when I did a chaste artistic moment in ‘Playboy’ in my early 20s, I thought it would be a magazine that was unlikely to resurface because it was paper," Barrymore added. "I never knew there would be an internet. I didn't know so many things."
