In the wake of Melissa McCarthy being asked if she used Ozempic by Barbra Streisand, the Bridesmaids actress has responded.
A timeline of Melissa McCarthy, Barbra Streisand's Ozempic situation
This all began when Streisand asked McCarthy if she used Ozempic in her Instagram comments. Streisand then issued a statement on the matter, taking to X to make a post.
“OMG,” the post began. “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!”

However, this was not a big deal to McCarthy. TMZ asked the actress about it, and she brushed it off.
“I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her,” McCarthy said before waving off a question of whether or not Streisand was out of line.
Furthermore, McCarthy took to Instagram to share her Streisand fandom. In a video, McCarthy is holding up a magazine cover with her on the cover. As she lowers it, she says, “The takeaway is that Barbra Streisand knows I exist, she reached out to me and she thought I looked good,” McCarthy began. “I win the day.”
The caption of the post also tagged Streisand and read, “@barbrastreisand fan club members only!!!”
