News about Melissa McCarthy

Superstar Barbra Streisand could be forgiven for not realising she was stumbling into a social media minefield when she reacted to an Instagram photo of her friend Melissa McCarthy. But when Barbra, 82, commented innocently 'did you take Ozempic?', the online reaction was swift - and brutal. 'Shame on you,' wrote one online critic. Others added, 'Rude, Barbra' and 'Babs. No, honey. Just no.' But I don't think Barbra has any reason to apologise. For one thing her message - that Melissa had slimmed down and was looking great - was an honest compliment from an old pal. More importantly, however, the outrage brigade have got it all wrong about Hollywood, beauty and weight.

Richard praised the 53-year-old comedian and even revealed that he is a fan of her work as he said: 'I love Melissa McCarthy…. I have seen every one of her movies.' Then he pulled no punches when it came to Barbra, who he purposely opted not to name and use her initials instead before apologizing to Melissa on behalf of the Funny Girl star for her public comment.
