@@RWRogers 💯% agree w/ur sentiment, but as we all know, “life is unfair!“ She mentioned in her Netflix doc that her son was “very good with money, and that she is not” He is TRYING to help her, but she does have a history of making very poor decisions/judgment calls when it comes to money and finance. She is the kind of person who can make $1 million a year, but spend $2 million a year, and then wonder where it all went? 😮 there is not a dollar figure that can “fix“ Pam…. She is completely undisciplined in her life, and then complains about the result! If she could fix her “lack of discipline“ then the 💵💵💵 issues would disappear! 🤔🤔🤔😳🙄

[@dawnqueenbeemarie445]

I'm a person who is extremely uncomfortable with someone in my personal space, and I can see Pam is the same. HOWEVER, i think Drew saw her as a kindred spirit and was super excited to talk to her.

[@hellobecky84]

Same here lol; I'd just commented similarly. And I know Drew is just a warm soul and really (really) demonstrative

[@debspringchannel831]

I noticed exactly the same

[@ManoVirag]

I was looking for this comment :D I hate when people hugging me or in my personal space ,but on the other hand Drew is such a warm soul :)

[@cherryblossomtree44]

Saaame, I know DB means well and is just a physical touch kind of person but uyyyy yeah too close for comfort for me personally,

[@lorijackson7008]

I see Pam is trying to create a boundary, but she is also a pleaser and doesn't want to offend. Drew loves her and means no harm and she sees that.❤️ I think she's trying to reassure Pam with hugs, 🫂 but it's taking Pam a minute to warm to this adulation. I love them both, but I would need more space between us.🥲

[@steffikaysince1996]

You can tell this interview meant a lot to Drew. I agree that she was probably invading Pam's space too much, and perhaps not giving Pamela enough room to express herself, but it does seem to be coming from a genuine place. She's just desperately wants to connect with Pam. It's sort of like a child wanting to be friends with the cool girl from the year above.

[@KillerQueensRyche]

it came off like excitement about meeting your favorite star - she was the fan gushing over Pam and it was nice

[@steffikaysince1996]

@@KillerQueensRyche yeah definitely. It's probably why, despite looking a little uncomfortable with the touching, Pam seemed to still enjoy the interview. Drew comes across very genuine and it's all pure excitement and admiration. I can really relate because I am a toucher and love making connections, but I have had to learn when to hold back if I'm gushing maybe too hard haha

[@bossy0099]

i would probably do the same lol

[@radio_obscura]

Yep, maybe not the most professional presentation, but relatable. I'll take her over stuffy, rude, snarky interviewers.

[@angelicaterry3367]

For me it was so uncomfortable to watch. Like forget professionalism, at least consider Pamela's boundaries. Consider that a person can share more than they meant to in such a situation. Drew completely centred herself and had no regard for the potential discomfort she could be causing Pamela. It's staggering how noticeable her discomfort is, especially since Pamela's baseline interview demeanour is so different in comparison.

[@tishafay]

I mean no disrespect when I say this. Everyone seems to comment on their chemistry while I find it kind of awkward. Drew is such an in-tune spirit, that she may have taken Pam aback by the straightforward praises & mushy hugs. I know some people don't like that unless they're really familiar with the other person. Maybe it's just me but Drew came on a bit too strong. I understand she idolizes her but if she could literally jump into her skin, I think she might have.🤣

The whole interview every bit of Pam's body language showed she needed more space and was very uncomfortable. She kept leaning back as far as she could. She also kept lifting her knee up and having both her hands there which we subconsciously do to block our personal space and push people out of it.
