Melissa McCarthy Responds To Barbra Streisand Asking If She’s Using Ozempic
53-year-old actress Melissa McCarthy has struggled with her weight for much of her adult life. She’s went on some crazy diets in the past, including an all liquid diet. She lost 70 pounds while on the diet, but admitted it was miserable and she’d never do it again.
So now everyone wants to know what she did for her latest slim down. McCarthy went on her Instagram the other day and posted the photo you see below…
Looking good, right? Several fans commented on the photo, letting McCarthy know just how stunning she is. Hollywood legend Barbra Streisand also commented on the photo, and she asked, “Give him my regards, did you take Ozempic?”
Yikes. Not exactly a question you ask in a public forum, but Streisand is 82-years-old, so you know, we should probably give her some social media grace.
She received LOTS of backlash for the question and deleted it a short time later. She then went on her Instagram Story to explain the mishap…
OMG – I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday! Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album. She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!
Sounds legit to us. As one user noted, “Major boomer aunt with wine and an ipad energy.”
It’s worth noting that McCarthy seems completely unbothered. She posted this clip on her Instagram on Wednesday, May 1.
