This comes after she was in a controversy with Melissa McCarthy.

Streisand ‘forgot the world is reading’ when she asked McCarthy on Instagram if she had jumped on the Ozempic celebrity bandwagon.

The You Don’t Bring Me Flowers singer dropped the question after Bridesmaids actress Melissa, 53, posted a carousel of images on the social media platform of her and choreographer Adam Shankman, 59, outside the Center Theater Group Gala in Los Angeles, showing she was wearing a pastel green jacket and dress.

After Melissa’s fans criticized Barbra for “body shaming” The Heat actress, the singer said on Instagram Stories of her since-deleted post: “I went to Instagram to see the photos we had posted of the beautiful flowers I had received for my birthday!

‘Underneath 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 you a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!’

Meanwhile, TMZ quoted Melissa telling paparazzi about the ‘feud’: “I think Barbra is a treasure, and I love her.”

Paul McCartney, seen on October 15, is on board

Sting, seen on October 11, is always working with Babs.

And there are several other singers who will be working with the legendary icon. According to the site, Paul McCartney and Sting are also collaborating with the Grammy-winning star.

Melissa captioned the images that sparked Barbra’s Ozempic question: ‘Cakes just to honor the amazing @matthewbourne13 at the @ctgla gala last night with this guy @adamshankman!! This is much closer to my dream of dancing on stage (dancing and green heart emojis).

Barbra responded in the comments: ‘Give him my regards, did you take Ozempic?’

Instagram users called Barbra everything from stupid to rude after her inquiry. Others defended Barbra, saying that she would never intentionally try to mock Melissa.

One said: ‘Babs is 82‍ (shrug emoji) which is par for the course, older people don’t know how (things) work nor do they (care).’

Melissa has been open about her weight ups and downs for years, and once said she’s been “every size on the planet” during her life.

He once lost 70 pounds by adopting an all-liquid diet, which he later said he would “never” do again.

In 2015, she lost 50 pounds by changing her mindset and moving away from obsession with her figure. At the time, she told Life and Style, “I really stopped worrying about it.”

“I think there’s something about relaxing and not being so nervous and rigid that, interestingly enough, has worked.”

In 2016, Melissa and Barbra teamed up for a duet of ‘Anything You Can Do,’ which appeared on the Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer’s album ‘Encore.’

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2023, Melissa said that Barbra is “really fun,” and added of what surprised her about the star when they met: “I think when she answered the door she had leggings and cold cuts in her hand.” And I said, ‘None of this is what I expected.’
