Martha Stewart isn't afraid to push back — literally. The TV personality playfully pushed Drew Barrymore away after the host got close and began touching her during a Tuesday appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show.

In the interview, Barrymore and Stewart had been discussing Stewart’s latest cookbook, her 100th, when Barrymore leaned in and asked what makes her feel “soft and gooey.” Stewart replied, “Soft and gooey treatment,” prompting Barrymore to slide closer, patting Stewart’s back and stroking her arm.

Last year, social media users complained about the “cringey” way she caressed and held Oprah Winfrey’ s hand during a December interview. Despite the backlash, Winfrey later defended Barrymore, telling TMZ that she was “not uncomfortable at all” and she found their interaction to be “endearing.”
