5 celebrities who openly crossed picket lines or were vocally unsupportive of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes

As Insider's Clay Walker reported, the backlash against the reality star began when Kardashian posted on X (former known as Twitter) in June: "Hi guys! I'm on set of AHS and we have some time between shots. What are you all up to????"

At that point, the WGA strike was well underway but the SAG-AFTRA strike had not yet been called (though many actors were throwing their support behind the striking writers already). Kardashian's post soon garnered over 2,800 replies, including one by actor Joel Kim Booster, who simply responded: "Picketing, Kim."

Other replies accused Kardashian of being a scab (someone who crosses a picket line established by active strikers), since she was working on Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story." "AHS" was one of the few shows that continued production during the strike despite being picketed by the WGA. Numerous other replies also urged Kardashian to acknowledge the strike in some way.

Despite the backlash, the SKIMS founder continued to reply to her fans on X, as Walker noted.

Murphy is reportedly a member of the WGA, but continued working on the new season of his horror anthology series during the strike despite pushback from striking guild members.

The writer/director also got into a legal spat with WGA strike captain and co-chair of a strike committee Warren Leight, per Deadline. Leight, while trying to garner support for a picket of the "AHS" set in New York, reportedly said that crew members working on Murphy's production told him they were worried about being "black-balled" by Murphy if they upheld the WGA picket line.

Murphy reportedly took issue with Leight's claim and threatened to sue him. Leight subsequently deleted the claim, apologized, and later stepped down as a strike leader, according to Deadline.

As Insider's Eammon Jacobs reported, Amell was taking part in a Q&A session at a July fan convention in Raleigh, North Carolina when he was asked about the strikes. He responded: "I feel like I'm insulated in Hollywood because that's where I live. I literally live in Hollywood. Like all the stereotypes that exist. So I feel like a lot of people in this room aren't aware of the strike."

"I support my union — I do, and I stand with them. I do not support striking. I don't," he said, adding: "I think that it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating."

Amell continued: "And I think that the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I'm on that premiered last night—I think it's myopic."

After backlash against him grew on social media, Amell attempted to walk back his criticisms of the strikes on Instagram, and was pictured picketing with SAG and the WGA in New York in August, according to Variety.

The Rare Beauty founder reportedly shared a short video from the set of her hit show "Only Murders In the Building" to Instagram in late August. According to Variety, Gomez included a tag of the show's official page in her caption. She later deleted the post, per Variety.

The third season of "Only Murders in the Building" premiered in August. As Insider's Reed Alexander noted, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA both told current members that they are prohibited during the work stoppage from promoting new content they've worked on before the strikes, should the studios release it during the strike.

Barrymore's daytime talk show was a struck show, meaning that WGA members were not allowed to work on the show during the duration of the strike. However, the "ET" star defended the decision to bring "The Drew Barrymore Show" back without writers in September.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Barrymore said that the show would be "in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind," according to Insider's Kai Xiang Teo.

"I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me," Barrymore added.

The WGA announced that they'd be picketing Barrymore's show on September 11 and 12 as a result, since any writing on "The Drew Barrymore Show" would violate the rules of the strike. Barrymore was also criticized on social media.

And the backlash against Barrymore continued to grow, with the National Book Foundation rescinding their offer to the star to host the National Book Awards shortly thereafter.

Barrymore eventually backtracked, announcing on Instagram in mid-September that she would pause her show until the writer's strike is over. As Insider's Michelle Mark reported, Barrymore also apologized for trying to proceed with her daytime talk show without its unionized writers.

"I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon," she said in the video.

However, the damage to the writing team appears to be done — Variety reported in early October that the trio of head writers on Barrymore's show decided not to return in the wake of the strike being terminated.
