“What Kind of Fool” asks about Ozempic on Instagram?
Barbra Streisand came under fire Monday when she asked actress Melissa McCarthy in an Instagram comment if she used Ozempic to lose weight.
The “Bridesmaids” star, 53, shared a carousel of images of her and choreographer Adam Shankman outside the Centre Theatre Group Gala in which she wore a pastel green blazer over a similarly colored dress that featured plenty of tulle.

“Babs. No, honey. Just no,” responded one follower.
