Melissa McCarthy isn’t letting Barbra Streisand’s blunt comment about her appearance get in the way of her fandom.
ICYMI, the Bridesmaids star shared a new look at her svelte appearance in a pastel green ensemble on Instagram Monday. She posed alongside director/pro choreographer Adam Shankman in the since-deleted post — and after giving her regards to the filmmaker in the comments, The Way We Were singer fired off a blunt AF question at Melissa:
“Did you take Ozempic?”
But the Genie star didn’t take it personally!

On Tuesday night, she addressed the situation in an IG video of her reading Barbra: Celebrating an Icon, before taking her nose out of the magazine to tell the camera:
“The takeaway, Barbra Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I looked good. I win the day.”
The video ended with her diving back into her read. Watch (below):
HA! Leave it up to Melissa to have such an amazing response!
Earlier in the day, Barbra addressed the situation on X (Twitter), revealing that when she posted her comment, she “forgot the world is reading!”
