While she was around when it was invented, Barbra Streisand<\/strong> still doesn’t seem to understand how social media works. After being dragged online for a seemingly insensitive comment she made on a friend’s post, she’s now apologizing.<\/p>\n

On April 29, actress Melissa McCarthy<\/strong> posted a couple of photos on Instagram of herself at an event with director Adam Shankman<\/strong>. Streisand responded by commenting, “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?” She later deleted the comment, but not before it was captured by the Comments by Celebs<\/a> account and captioned, “Babs!!”<\/p>\n

One user responded, “Omg Babs, you can\u2019t just ask people if they\u2019re on Ozempic.” Another addressed the legendary singer directly: “you\u2019re such a boomer. I cringed reading your question.”<\/p>\n

Another user wrote, “Maybe STFU and keep these thoughts in your own head? It\u2019s none of your business unless someone wants to share. My god. And as a woman in the industry completely judged for her looks, you think Babs would have some empathy.”<\/p>\n

On April 30, Streisand posted an explanation<\/a> of what many saw as a brutal comment.<\/p>\n

“OMG – I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers<\/a> I’d received for my birthday!\u00a0 Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore<\/em> album.”<\/p>\n

“She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment,” she continued. “I forgot the world is reading!”<\/p>\n

But McCarthy doesn’t seem to bothered. Asked by a TMZ photographer<\/a> what she thought of Babs’ Ozempic comment, the Bridesmaids<\/em> star said, “I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her.”<\/p>\n
