After Barbra Streisand’s Ozempic comment, Melissa McCarthy has broken her silence. But there is no new Hollywood feud.
Actress Melissa McCarthy (53) apparently has no problem with her famous colleague Barbra Streisand (82). The 82-year-old previously made a comment about McCarthy on Instagram that many found to be insensitive. At the premiere of her new film “Unfrosted” in Hollywood, the 53-year-old appeared unimpressed on the red carpet.
Barbra Streisand asks about weight loss medication
Earlier this week, Barbra Streisand commented on an Instagram photo of Melissa McCarthy, in which she was visibly slimmed down, with the words – since deleted -: “Have you taken Ozempic?” Ozempic is a drug used for weight loss. The singer apologized shortly afterwards and the person addressed had already joked about it in an Instagram clip: “Barbra Streisand knows I exist!” said McCarthy. In the post, she holds a magazine with Streisand on the cover and adds that Barbra contacted her “and said I looked good. I won.”
“I just wanted to compliment her”
Barbra Streisand also apologized in an Instagram Story, saying: “OMG – I went on Instagram to see the photos we posted of the beautiful flowers I got for my birthday! There was a photo of them below my friend Melissa McCarthy, who I sang with on my Encore album. She looked amazing! I just wanted to compliment her. I forgot the world was reading!”
When asked if Barbra Streisand’s comment was “inappropriate,” he waved Melissa McCarthy is now off, according to the Daily Mail and replied, “I think Barbra is a sweetheart and I love her.”
In the new Netflix film “Unfrosted” by Jerry Seinfeld (70), Melissa McCarthy can be seen alongside Jim Gaffigan (57), Hugh Grant (63) and Amy Schumer (42).
