As Barbra Streisand sparks outrage with 'rude' remark about Melissa McCartney's ... trends now
Barbra Streisand left fans reeling on Monday after publicly grilling Melissa McCarthy about her weight loss with a 'rude remark'.
The Broadway legend, 82, couldn't help but comment on a picture of the actress, 53, posing with pal Adam Shankman, 59, at Sunday's CTG's The Gala 2024 at the Ahmanson Theatre.
The comedian - whose weight has fluctuated over the years - showcased her newly slimmed down figure in a stylish mint dress and blazer, prompting Barbra to post: 'Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?'
The EGOT-winning entertainer was quickly at the receiving end of dozens of responses calling out the nature of her inquiry, and while she didn't address the backlash, Barbra quietly deleted her comment.
Yet with a reputation of speaking her mind, this isn't the only time Barbra has unwittingly caused offence...

In 2003, Barbra appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show wearing a white turtleneck and carrying her white dog Sammie around the studio.
After a musical performance during which Barbara used a white microphone, Oprah called her out for matching even the microphone to her outfit and dog.
She said: 'I want to just say this... I own this studio, I've been here I don't know how many years. I've never seen a white mic.'
Barbara replied to Oprah: 'It's actually off-white, to match my off-white sweater. I like simplicity, and monochromatic frames.'
'So you had the mic sprayed?,' Oprah asked again in an encounter that Comedian Kathy Griffin said was eating at Oprah for weeks in her book Official Book Club Selection.
