In recent months, celebrities worldwide have explored the effects of the Ozempic drug. Previously recognized solely as a diabetes treatment, it has gained attention for significantly reducing appetite, prompting many to use it for weight loss.

The use of this popular medication among stars is nearly taboo abroad. Yet, an icon of American pop culture broke the silence, criticizing a younger colleague's unnatural body transformation.

Barbra Streisand called out Melissa McCarthy's use of Ozempic

Melissa McCarthy stands out among the women who have recently been vocal about their rigorous workouts and strict dieting. The film star has long battled with weight, finally celebrating a loss of around 35 kilograms.

Famous for her role in "Bridesmaids", the actress shared a photo from a film gala last Sunday on Instagram, where her slimmer figure was visible. Accompanying her in a stylish mint dress and blazer was her close friend, Adam Shankman. Barbra Streisand, recognizing the 59-year-old actor as an old friend, left a comment that unexpectedly asked about... Ozempic.

Give him my regards did you take Ozempic - she spontaneously asked in her comment.

The cinema legend quickly realized her mistake. Although she deleted her comment swiftly, social media users caught the sarcastic tone.

Melissa McCarthy has never addressed the rumours about her alleged use of the diabetes drug. She also did not react to Barbra's surprising inquiry.
