The Drew Barrymore Show host was reportedly not home at the time.

This came days after the alleged stalker frightened her during an onstage appearance.

'YOU KNOW WHO I AM'

On August 22, Drew, 48, hosted a live interview at 92NY in New York.

The E.T. actress interviewed HBO Max star Reneé Rapp, 23, the star of The Sex Lives of College Girls.

The commotion started when Chad, who was in the packed crowd, suddenly shouted: "Drew Barrymore!" according to NBC News.

Drew became startled and replied: "Oh, my God! Yes! Hi!"

In response, Chad approached the stage while shouting his own name, and told her: "You know who I am."

When he was close to the duo on stage, Chad added: "I need to see you at some point while you’re in New York, OK?"

Drew seemed shocked during the terrifying interaction.

At this point, Drew was quickly led off the stage by Reneé, who jumped up and grabbed her arm.

Chad was escorted away from the area by two uniformed men, but was not arrested.

Meanwhile, Drew and Renée wrapped their arms around each other and walked backstage.

An incident report was not filed to the New York Police Department, according to the publication.

Despite the interruption, Drew and Renée returned to the stage to finish their discussion, according to MSN.

Renée made a reference to the scary moment as she told the audience: “They were like, ‘Hey, do you need anything? Just a sec?’

"She was like ‘Oh no, I’ve got it, I’m good.’”

THE COMMENTS

Video of the incident went viral after being posted on Pop Crave.

Although the Whiplash director has not made any comments, fans shared their shock at the events on On X, previously known as Twitter.

One concerned person said: "I honestly have no words except this is scary beyond belief."

Another person added "It must suck so much to be famous and having to be on the lookout for weirdos like these," said a second social media user.

A commentator chimed in: "Omg? Poor drew!! She doesn’t deserve this!! Sending lots of love her way!!"
