00:00The take away Barbra Streisand knows I exist.
00:05Melissa McCarthy has joined the chat and she's proving there are no hard feelings after receiving
00:10what some thought was an inappropriate question from Barbra Streisand where she publicly asked
00:16if she's taking Ozempic, the celeb-loved injectable weight loss drug.
00:20McCarthy, however, doesn't seem to be taking the drama seriously, posting a funny response
00:25to Instagram Tuesday.
00:26The actress shared the reel of herself holding a magazine with Streisand's picture gracing
00:30the cover before hitting the red carpet for her new movie, Unfrosted, out May 3rd.
00:43The drama first started on Monday when the Bridesmaids actor shared two pictures to her
00:48Instagram story showing herself and film director Adam Shankman wearing pastel outfits on their
00:53way to the Center Theater Group Gala.
00:56After the posts went up, Streisand posted a now-deleted comment on the picture.
00:59The comment was screenshot and reposted on the Instagram account, Comments by Celebs.
01:05The funny girl actress wrote,
01:06Given my regards, did you take Ozempic?
01:09Some thought the question was inappropriate, others gave the 82-year-old actress the benefit
01:13of the doubt and speculated maybe she meant to send McCarthy a private message.
01:17Melissa's response came after Streisand addressed the faux pas herself, sharing this message
01:22to her own Instagram story Tuesday afternoon.
01:25OMG, I went on Instagram to see the photos we'd posted of the beautiful flowers I'd
01:29received for my birthday.
01:30Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy, who I sang with on my Encore album.
01:35She looked fantastic, I just wanted to pay her a compliment.
01:38I forgot the world is reading.
01:40It's no surprise Melissa doesn't appear to be taking the incident personally.
01:43The two stars came together for a duet of Anything You Can Do from the musical Annie
01:47Get Your Gun for Barbra's 2016 album Encore Movie Partner Sing Broadway.
01:52I wanted to sing another song with a woman.
01:54So to lighten up the mood, we have the greatest woman comedy star, Melissa McCarthy.
01:59This is my friend Melissa.
02:01I'm Barbra.
02:02I don't know if you really have to introduce yourself to anyone.
02:06Well, I'm humble.
02:07I'm just saying.
02:08I'm humble.
02:09This video shows the two women laughing and working closely together to produce a song.
02:13And while on the press tour for her movie Ghostbusters, Melissa said this about working
02:18with the iconic EGOT winner.
02:19I thought it was a prank forever.
02:21I kept saying this can't be happening.
02:23She is one of the coolest women I have ever met in my life.
02:27I had such a great time.
02:29And yeah, we sang Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better, which I also said, like, I can't
02:33sing that to you.
02:34One, I can't sing.
02:35Two, I can't say that to you, but she made it so fun.
02:38It was bananas.
