If you've ever regretted a social media post, you're not alone. Recently, Barbra Streisand found herself in a bit of a social media blunder on Instagram involving actress Melissa McCarthy.
McCarthy had posted photos with director Adam Shankman from an event celebrating choreographer and director Matthew Bourne. Streisand, in a now-deleted comment, asked McCarthy if she had taken Ozempic, a medication used for Type 2 diabetes that is also known for weight loss.
The directness of Streisand's question sparked immediate online conversation, with some speculating that it was meant to be a private message. Users on social media had mixed reactions, with some poking fun at Streisand's mistake and others expressing anger over the comment.
Streisand later addressed the situation on her Instagram Story, explaining that she had simply intended to pay McCarthy a compliment but had forgotten about the public nature of her comment.
McCarthy, who has been open about her weight fluctuations in the past, has faced criticism about her size from individuals in the industry. She has spoken about her journey to self-acceptance and the importance of focusing on what truly matters in life.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential pitfalls of social media and the importance of being mindful of the impact of our words, especially in a public forum.
