Barbra Streisand Criticized for Inquiring about Melissa McCarthy's Use of Ozempic on Instagram

Barbra Streisand faces backlash for asking Melissa McCarthy if she used Ozempic to lose weight, sparking debate among fans.

Barbra Streisand recently found herself in hot water after she boldly asked Melissa McCarthy on Instagram if she had used Ozempic to shed some pounds. The 82-year-old music icon made the inquiry after the 'Bridesmaids' star shared a series of photos with choreographer Adam Shankman at the Centre Theatre Group Gala in LA. Melissa was dressed in a pastel green blazer and dress, and the caption hinted at her dream of dancing on stage.

Barbra's comment, which has since been deleted, sparked a mix of reactions online. While some criticized her for being insensitive and rude, others defended her, attributing the bluntness to her age. Melissa did not respond to the question, leaving fans speculating about her weight loss journey.

The 'Gilmore Girls' actress has been candid about her struggles with weight over the years. She previously lost 70lbs on an all-liquid diet but vowed never to repeat the experience. In 2015, she shed 50lbs by changing her mindset and focusing less on her appearance. Melissa's journey serves as a reminder that weight loss is a personal and complex process that varies for each individual.
