Drew Barrymore's Daughter Braves E-Bike Crash: 'Ripped Her Elbow Open' in France
SHOCKING FAMILY CRISIS ROCKS DREW BARRYMORE'S WORLD
In a heart-stopping revelation, Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore opened up about a terrifying family emergency that left her shaken to the core. The 50-year-old mother of two shared a harrowing tale of how one of her daughters was involved in a devastating electric bike accident while on vacation in France.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Barrymore recounted the traumatic experience, leaving her fans and followers stunned and concerned for her family's well-being. With her signature wit and charm, she described the ordeal as "fabulous" - albeit sarcastically - but what unfolded was anything but glamorous.
The actress, who shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, with ex-husband Will Kopelman, explained that her eldest child had been on an electric bike deep in the mountains of France when disaster struck. In a split second, Barrymore's daughter suffered a gruesome injury, ripping open her elbow to the bone.
"We were supposed to get together last time, but my daughter ended up having an accident," Barrymore told Colbert, matter-of-factly revealing that she had canceled plans with the talk show host's wife at the time. While assuring Colbert that her child was "fine" - albeit battered and bruised - the actress went on to paint a vivid picture of the chaos that ensued.
"We spent days in an E.R., in and out," Barrymore revealed, her voice trembling slightly as she recounted the harrowing experience. But what's even more astonishing is how her quick-thinking daughter took charge of her own care. In a moment that left Colbert - and likely everyone watching at home - speechless, Barrymore shared that her daughter "ripped off her bra and turned it into a tourniquet" to stem the bleeding.
The talk show host was left in awe, remarking on the resourcefulness displayed by Barrymore's child. However, the actress swiftly dismissed any notion that this exceptional behavior was due to her upbringing or parenting style. Instead, she proudly proclaimed that her daughter is simply "who she is" - a testament to the unique and special individuality of each child.
Barrymore has long been open about the transformative power of motherhood in her life. In a previous appearance on Colbert's show earlier this year, she gushed about how her daughters have become her guiding light and compass.
"They're really, really good. Every day is different. Every hour is different," she said, beaming with pride. "They're my North Star, my compass."
But what's remarkable is that Barrymore's journey as a mother has not only changed her priorities but also given her a newfound sense of purpose in life.
"I love that in the life I got to live before I knew them, my priorities were different," she reflected on her pre-motherhood life. "And ever since I came into the world, I understand what the purpose of my life is. It's wild."
Barrymore continued, "I just know that I'm all in and I care so much and I am imperfect, but I'm going to do everything I can to do this [motherhood] to the best of my ability, and it's fun. It's humorous and it's delicious and it's great. And they're my everything."
The actress has also shared lighter moments from her motherhood journey, including a recent revelation about her eldest child's fixation on being older than she is.
"My daughter, who's about to turn 12 really wants to be 16… going on 25," Barrymore quipped on her talk show last year. The candid admission showcased the humor and humility that fans have come to love about the actress.
As news of the family emergency spread like wildfire, fans took to social media to express their concern and well-wishes for the Barrymore family. While the details of the incident may be shocking, it's clear that Drew Barrymore is grateful for her strong and resilient daughter - a shining example of the strength and resourcefulness that can arise in times of crisis.
