Fans reacted after Streisand left a since-deleted eye-opening comment on McCarthy's IG page.
Oh em gee! Barbra Streisand didn't mean to do that!
The legendary songstress took to her social media on Tuesday to offer an explanation to the since-deleted comment she left on her good pal Melissa McCarthy's Instagram post. The comment went viral before Streisand deleted the comment. As fans know by now, McCarthy posted a stunning photo of her in a pastel-colored outfit alongside choreographer and producer Adam Shankman.
Streisand's comment was complimentary but it raised eyebrows, for sure. The comment was on McCarthy's page for several hours before it was removed. Streisand commented, "Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?"
On her Story, Streisand explained she got confused after going on her profile to upload photos of some beautiful flowers.
"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. She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!"
Indeed.
By the way, McCarthy has already reacted to Streisand's faux pax in video obtained by TMZ. When asked if Streisand's comment was out of line, McCarthy said, "I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her."
Prior to her explanation, some fans speculated Streisand meant to send a DM and not drop a comment. One fan wrote under Streisand's comment, "I think Barbara thought it was a dm."
After tweeting her explanation, fans defended Streisand for what was clearly an honest mistake.
"That's what I thought. She thought it was a private message. It's not that big of a deal," one person replied to Streisand's tweet. Another wrote, "We understand what you mean, Barbra; no need to explain. Media love to make a big deal out of any small thing."
