Barbra Streisand is speaking up amidst a bit of social media uproar following a comment she made, and then deleted, asking Melissa McCarthy if she’s using Ozempic, clarifying it as a simple misunderstanding.
It all started when McCarthy shared a picture of herself and director Adam Shankman at a Los Angeles gala. Streisand, known for her candidness, commented, “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?”
The comment sparked a mix of reactions, with some criticizing Streisand’s bluntness and others defending her, suggesting it was meant as a private inquiry.
The 82-year-old responded to the backlash, explaining her innocent intentions in a statement on Tuesday. She clarified that she was simply browsing Instagram to see birthday flowers when she stumbled upon McCarthy’s photo. Streisand expressed admiration for McCarthy’s appearance and admitted she hadn’t considered the public nature of her comment.
Despite the social media buzz, McCarthy seems unfazed. According to E! News, she referred to Streisand as a treasure and expressed her love for the iconic singer.
And with McCarthy taking it in stride, it seems the drama has settled. Case closed!
