EgyptAir stands by Barrymore interview
stood by its story on Thursday after US actress Drew Barrymore’s spokesperson denied she took part in an interview with the airline’s in-flight magazine that went viral over its bizarre content.
The article in EgyptAir’s Horus magazine is sprinkled with grammatical errors. It opens with a commentary on Barrymore’s private life, suggesting she had been “unstable in her relationships most of her life” and that she had been in “almost 17 relationships, engagements and marriages”.
“Psychologists believe that her behaviour is only natural since she lacked the male role model in her life,” it says.
A spokesperson for Barrymore told the Huffington Post website that the actress “did not participate” in the interview and that her team was “working with

the airline PR team”.
But EgyptAir insisted the interview was legitimate.
“This a professional magazine interview conducted by Dr. Aida Tekla Former president of the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) and one of the voting members of the Golden Globes,” it tweeted back at an aviation journalist who asked if it was “completely false”.
A spokeswoman for EgyptAir told AFP on Thursday that the article was authentic. AFP
