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.

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.”

Martha Stewart appeared slightly uncomfortable when Drew Barrymore started petting her back on this morning’s episode of the latter’s daytime talk show. The two women were discussing Stewart’s 100th cookbook when Barrymore asked what makes her guest feel “soft and gooey” inside.
