Barbra Streisand faced backlash Tuesday after a comment intended for actress Melissa McCarthy was publicly posted on Instagram.
The 82-year-old singing and acting legend commented on a photo of McCarthy dressed in a mint green dress at a gala, asking if she had taken Ozempic, a medication popularly discussed in celebrity circles for weight loss.
“Give him my regards did you take Ozempic,” the singer commented. Streisand quickly deleted the comment she may have thought was private, but not before it was captured in screenshots and spread on social media.
Omg…this comment from Barbra Streisand.
Yes, it’s real, but she’s deleted it. pic.twitter.com/icINE1XqI4
