Reneé Rapp helped Drew Barrymore flee after stalker Chad Michael Busto rushed onto the stage, interrupting the talk show host.
Fans Recognize Drew Barrymore’s Stalker As Same One Who Stalked Amber Heard
Yes, that video you saw of Drew Barrymore being accompanied offstage by a quick reacting Reneé Rapp is not fake.
The actress and talk show host was indeed in a compromising situation when a man named Chad Michael Busto rushed to the front of the auditorium of the 92nd Street Y in New York.
In the video, we hear Busto yelling “Drew Barrymore!” when Barrymore was telling Rapp to step away from acting to pursue music full time.
You might recall that Rapp, now singer-songwriter, hit it big as one of the leading ladies of “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” However, prior to her music career kicking off, she’d already left the show behind.

“Oh my God, Yes, hi!” a confused Barrymore said, as she obviously lost her train of thought when she saw the man stepping onto the stage.
Rapp, who was relaxed at the time, rushed up from her seat opposite Barrymore’s to escort her off the stage. At this time, bodyguards had already moved into action and were flanking Busto.
“You know who I am, I need to see you at some point,” the man was heard saying, amidst the confusion.
A spokesperson later came onstage and addressed fans, saying, “sorry about that. Just give us a minute.” Barrymore and Rapp later walked onstage to the cheers of fans.

Social media users were quick to recognize the man’s name and identify him as a person who has a long history of stalking celebrities, including Amber Heard.
Drew Barrymore and Reneé Rapp are yet to officially address the incidence. Rapp was on Drew Barrymore’s show to promote her debut album, which was released last Friday.
The video first appeared on the media outlet TheWrap and was quickly seen by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, with many people congratulating Rapp for her quick reaction.
