#MelissaMcCarthy #BarbraStreisand
o Did Barbara cross the line with an Instagram comment?
o Over the weekend Melissa McCarthy posted a picture of herself and director Adam Shankman as they attended a gala for the Center Theatre Group.
o Melissa wrote, “Pastels only to honor the incredible @matthewbourne13 at the @ctgla gala last night with this fella @adamshankman!! Thiiiiis much closer to my dream of dancing on stage."
o In the comments, Barbra wrote, “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?"
o She ended up deleting the comment but users were horrified at her lack of tact, writing things like, “DOES SHE NOT KNOW EVERYONE CAN SEE HER COMMENTS???”, “Babs. No, honey. Just no,” and “Major boomer aunt with wine and an ipad energy.”
o Melissa McCarthy was asked if she was offended by the comment yesterday and she said, “I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her.”
o As far as Barbra goes, sources say she was shocked at the backlash and she posted a story on Instagram that said, “I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday! Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album. She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!”
