Melissa McCarthy is happily accepting Barbra Streisand’s compliment.
The Unfrosted actress took to social media Tuesday night to post a cheery video in which she responded to the iconic singer asking in a since-deleted Instagram comment if McCarthy had used Ozempic. Streisand later explained her remark, saying she was merely praising McCarthy’s appearance.
And that’s exactly how McCarthy took it.
Holding up a copy of a magazine titled Barbra: Celebrating an Icon, with Streisand’s face on the cover, McCarthy said in a video, “The takeaway, Barbra Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me, and she thought I looked good! I win the day.”
The video was captioned “[Streisand] fan club members only!!!.”
The McCarthy-Streisand exchange, which quickly went viral, began when Streisand commented on McCarthy’s Monday Instagram post, which has since been deleted, featuring a photo of McCarthy with director Adam Shankman at the Center Theatre Group’s CTG The Gala event in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Streisand commented, “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?” While her question was deleted, it was captured by eagle-eyed observers and made the rounds online on Tuesday.
Later that day, Streisand tried to explain what had happened.
“OMG — 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,” Streisand wrote on social media. “She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world was reading!”
Ozempic, a prescription diabetes medication, has become one of a number of weight-loss drugs that gained popularity in Hollywood in recent years, to help people quickly slim down. While McCarthy has spoken about her health in the past, she hasn’t publicly talked about using Ozempic or other medicine for weight loss.
McCarthy and Streisand did a duet of “Anything You Can Do” on Streisand’s 2016 Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway album. McCarthy can next be seen in Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tarts origin movie, Unfrosted, hitting Netflix on Friday.
