Barbra Streisand, the iconic showbiz legend, made a very bold remark on social media that caught the attention of many. It seems that Barbra may need a refresher on the difference between public Instagram comments and private direct messages. In a very public manner, she asked actress Melissa McCarthy if she had taken the controversial drug Ozempic. This caused quite a stir on the internet, with many people expressing shock and confusion at Barbra's question.
Ozempic is a medication typically used to treat type 2 diabetes, but it has gained attention in recent years for its weight loss effects. Many celebrities have been open about using it to shed a few pounds, and it seems that Barbra assumed Melissa was one of them. Melissa, who is 53 years old, has never publicly stated whether she uses Ozempic or not, but Barbra seemed to think it was appropriate to inquire about her methods. Needless to say, the internet had a field day with this exchange, and the memes practically wrote themselves.
Melissa had recently posted a photo on her Instagram account with her friend Adam Shankman at a gala in Los Angeles. In the photo, she looked stunning in a ruffled mint dress and blazer, with her hair blowing in the wind. The photo received over 170,000 likes, with many of Melissa's followers admiring her trim and healthy physique. However, Barbra's comment stole the spotlight and sparked a conversation about body image and privacy.
Some social media users were quick to point out the irony of Barbra's question, with one user joking that "boomers on Instagram cannot be trusted." Others urged Melissa's team to monitor her social media usage and even joked about taking Barbra's phone away. But ultimately, it's up to Barbra to decide what she wants to share on social media, and if this is her unfiltered self, then so be it.
This is not the first time Melissa's weight loss journey has been in the public eye. She has spoken openly about her struggles with weight and her various methods of losing it. In 2016, she told The Guardian that she had been every size from a six to a 22 and had even tried an all-liquid diet, which resulted in her losing 70 pounds in just four months. However, she later realized that this was not a sustainable or healthy way to lose weight and started making lifestyle changes instead.
Melissa has since lost a further 75 pounds, prompting questions about her methods. She has denied undergoing any gastric bypass procedures and insists that her secret is simply a change in lifestyle. She jokes that her life may seem super boring to others, with an early bedtime of 7:30 pm, but it works for her. As far as Ozempic is concerned, Melissa is not the only celebrity who has been caught up in speculation about taking the drug. Oprah Winfrey has endorsed it as a spokesperson for the company that makes it, and other celebrities like Keke Palmer and Amy Schumer have also been open about using it.
In the end, it's up to individuals to decide how they want to manage their weight and whether they want to share that information with the public. Barbra's comment may have been deleted, but the screenshots remain, and the internet will continue to discuss it. As for Melissa, she continues to live her life and make her own choices, regardless of what others may think or say. And as she puts it, "no trick, nothing to tell, just a super boring life."
