Drew Barrymore has gone viral after posting a video of herself running in the rain, as some viewers have branded it ‘racist’. 

It all started when the beloved actress took to TikTok and posted a clip of herself enjoying being outside in the rain while in a courtyard.

She captioned the post: “Whenever you can, go out into the rain. Do not miss the opportunity!”

Although many took to the video – which has been viewed over 20million times – and shared their adoration for the star, an unnamed TikToker called her out on the clip.

They said the actress wants to ‘dismiss and disrespect the boundaries that Black creators have set’ by posting it.

Their claim comes following a TikTok trend back in May. At the time, many Black men took to the platform and shared videos of themselves running around happily in fields.

Many people have taken to the TikToker’s post and said the claim about Barrymore left them ‘confused’.

One wrote: “She’s in the rain. Please take several steps back.”

“Make sure you stretch well before such a long reach,” added another.

A third user commented: “I’m Black and I’m confused.”

“What does enjoying the rain have to do with being Black? It’s the rain!!! I enjoy it too,” a fourth said.

Another weighed in, asking: “How does a woman who suffered a traumatic childhood, enjoying being out in the rain and embracing her inner child get turned into racism?”

As of yet, Barrymore hasn’t addressed the TikToker’s claim.
