Melissa McCarthy took to the streets of Los Angeles in an all-black outfit days after the fiasco surrounding Barbra Streisand’s apparent Ozempic jibe
Melissa McCarthy has continued to show off her impressive weight loss as she went for a stroll in Los Angeles.
The Bridesmaids star, 53, has lost 75lbs and has continued to flaunt her slimmer physique following Barbra Streisand’s controversial Ozempic comments. In her latest look, Melissa opted for an all-black look, pairing a tight top with baggy joggers. She finished the outfit with a loose fitted black cardigan too, while she had platformed black and white sneakers for the walk. Melissa was also all blinged up, with several large rings, a chain around her neck and large-framed shades.
The latest outing comes after she shut down any chance of a feud with pal Barbra after the singer was roundly shot down for her social media post. The Evergreen singer saw backlash when implying that McCarthy used the drug Ozempic to achieve her slimmed-down look. “Did you take Ozempic?” she abruptly asked on an upload of Melissa at a Los Angeles gala at the weekend.

Soon after making the veiled criticism, the A Star is Born actress issued a public apology to say she “forgot the world is reading!”. She claimed the comment was merely directed at a friend and was meant as a compliment. Melissa appeared eager to move past the controversy, too, as she dismissed any ill-feeling from the comments.
The Identity Thief star shared a funny reel to Instagram as she joked about “winning”. Holding up a magazine featuring Barbra on the cover, she quipped: “The takeaway. Barbra Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I look good. I win the day.”
Melissa followed up her jest in the comments, saying: “@barbrastreisand fan club members only! ! ! “, accompanied by a string of red heart emojis. Her reaction to the comments was met with huge appreciation from her fans, with many labelling her a “class act”. One also gushed: “Exactly – this how a goddess responds to an icon. All love and fabulousness.”
