Drew Barrymore has opened up about dealing with body insecurities in an emotional admission.

During a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the 51-year-old actress and producer shared how motherhood brought a difficult and traumatic period in her life, particularly regarding her relationship with her body.

Barrymore revealed that she became highly conscious about wearing “form-fitting” clothing after having her children.

“The other day, I was walking down the street – and I’ve had two C-sections and I’m so wrecked down there that I permanently just…I can’t wear a lot of different types of pants,” she said.

The Charlie’s Angels star also shared that she was overwhelmed by negative thoughts about her appearance while wearing a shorter shirt and unable to keep her jacket closed.

Holding back tears, she added, “And I’m walking around and I was [thinking], I don’t want anyone to see this.”
