Drew Barrymore Lauds Reneé Rapp as 'Protector' After Stalker Incident

Rapp escorted Barrymore to safety during a Q&A session when alleged stalker Chad Michael Busto rushed the stage.

Drew Barrymore publicly thanked Reneé Rapp, star of the Mean Girls musical, for protecting her from an alleged stalker during a Q&A session in August 2023.
The alleged stalker, identified as Chad Michael Busto, interrupted the session by rushing the stage while Barrymore was interviewing Rapp about her new album, 'Snow Angel'.
Rapp quickly reacted by escorting Barrymore offstage, earning her the title of Barrymore's 'protector'.
Busto was later arrested and temporarily detained after attempting to locate Barrymore's residence.
Busto has a history of stalking, having also targeted 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson and 'Aquaman' actress Amber Heard.
