00:00Melissa McCarthy has responded to Barbara Streisand's question about whether or not she's
00:04used Ozempic. In an out-of-lead comment, the iconic singer wrote underneath the photo of
00:09McCarthy and Adam Shankman,
00:11The comment quickly went viral. In response to all the online chatter,
00:17McCarthy shared this video on Instagram.
00:19The takeaway, Barbara Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I looked good.
00:26I win the day.
00:28Streisand also later explained her remark on social media,
00:31saying she was merely praising McCarthy's appearance. She wrote,
00:35OMG, I went on Instagram to see the photos we'd posted of the beautiful flowers I'd received for
00:39my birthday. Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy, who I sang with on my Encore
00:44album. The singer continued,
00:45She looked fantastic. I just wanted to pay her a compliment.
00:49I forgot the world was reading. While McCarthy has spoken out about her health in the past,
00:53she hasn't publicly talked about using Ozempic or other medicine for weight loss.
00:57McCarthy can next be seen in Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts origin movie,
01:00Unfrosted, which hits Netflix on Friday. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
