<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a fun video posted on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6aWlBnLG4r/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the 53-year-old actress broke her silence about Streisand’s </span><a href="https://people.com/melissa-mccarthy-barbra-streisand-ozempic-comment-she-thought-i-looked-good-8641637?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=likeshop&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram"><span style="font-weight: 400;">comment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> while appearing to read a copy of “Barbra: Celebrating an Icon.” She captioned the post, “Barbra Streisand fan club members only!!!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The takeaway, Barbra Streisand knows I exist,” McCarthy told her followers in the clip. “She reached out to me and she thought I looked good!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I win the day,” she added, while appearing to go back to reading the Streisand book.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Bridesmaids” star’s comments came after </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barbra-streisand-steps-in-it-with-awkward-attempt-to-defend-anti-trump-da-fani-willis"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Streisand</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was slammed for asking </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/monique-insists-shed-be-more-famous-if-she-was-white-my-name-would-be-melissa-mccarthy"><span style="font-weight: 400;">McCarthy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> if she had joined the celebrity fad in taking “Ozempic” for weight loss, as previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barbra-streisand-being-called-out-for-melissa-mccarthy-ozempic-comment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the comments section underneath a picture the “Ghostbusters” star posted of herself, the 82-year-old singer wrote, “Give [Shankman] my regards, did you take Ozempic?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The post has since been deleted, but </span><a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1785164094963888274"><span style="font-weight: 400;">screenshots</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the comment are all over social media, with some people suggesting the “Funny Girl” star thought she was sending a direct message [DM] and didn’t realize her post was public.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Bless her, she thought she was in the DMs,” one </span><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@olivialilymarks/video/7363579199430446368?q=barbra%20streisand&amp;t=1714493266315"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TikToker</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> wrote.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Others suggested it was “rude” and “nasty,” </span><a href="https://radaronline.com/p/barbara-streisand-melissa-mccarthy-ozempic-deleted-instagram-post/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">RadarOnline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Wow really!” one Instagram user wrote. “What happened to not talking about Bodies! As a mother of a daughter that’s not ok, we as women need to not focus on appearance.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then there were those on social media who just cracked jokes about what Streisand did, </span><a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/fans-roast-barbra-streisand-seriously-misguided-ozempic-comment?utm_brand=glm&amp;utm_social-type=owned&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;mbid=social_twitter_glamourmain"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glamour magazine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Oh my God, Barbra, you can’t just ask people if they’re on Ozempic!” one person wrote, with a GIF from “Mean Girls.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following reports of a backlash against the superstar, Streisand responded on </span><a href="https://x.com/BarbraStreisand/status/1785389557682176500"><span style="font-weight: 400;">X</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that, “OMG I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Below them was a photo of a friend Melissa McCarthy, who I sang with on my Encore album,” she added. “She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading.”</span></p>
