Barbara Streisand, inventor of the “Streisand Effect” and undisputed queen of drawing negative attention to herself, has done it again. Melissa McCarthy posted a cute photo of herself with her friend Adam Shankman to Instagram on April 29 and Streisand, for reasons known only to Streisand, commented (per TMZ), “Give [Shankman] my regards did you take Ozempic?” Girl, what?
Streisand has apparently deleted the comment, but screenshots are forever.

Folks on social media are still sharing screen-grabs of the comment, and they have opinions. Some people found the whole thing hilarious. Some people are deeply offended. And at least one person thinks Streisand was just trying to compliment McCarthy in the language of “80-year-old New York woman.”

“Bless her, she thought she was in the DMs,” said one TikToker. Another person on Twitter agreed, writing, “Omg somebody please teach Barbra Streisand how to send a DM.”
The jokes flowed freely on Twitter, with one person writing, “Barbra Streisand receives Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event for her groundbreaking, fearless work on Instagram.” Another amateur comedian wisecracked, “’Oh my God, Barbra, you can’t just ask people if they’re on Ozempic!’” with a GIF from Mean Girls.
Barbra Streisand couldn’t change even if she tried.
