Barbra Streisand defended herself after she faced backlash for asking Melissa McCarthy if she was on Ozempic.
“OMG – I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday!” Streisand began in a statement shared to her Instagram Story on Tuesday.
“Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album,” she continued. “She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!’
The “Yentl” actress, 82, caught some serious heat when she publicly asked the invasive question in the comments section of one of McCarthy’s Instagram photos.
The “Gilmore Girls” alum, 53, shared a stunning photo of herself wearing a pastel green dress layered under a matching blazer as she posed beside her choreographer, Adam Shankman, outside the Centre Theatre Group Gala.
