Following her apology, Streisand took to social media again on Tuesday. She wrote, “OMG-I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday!
I sang with my friend Melissa McCarthy on my Encore album, and she was pictured below them.
She looked amazing! All I wanted to do was compliment her. “I forgot that everyone is reading!”
In an effort to downplay the drama, McCarthy also made the comment in public, saying, “Barbra is a treasure, I love her!”
The EGOT-winning performer soon received dozens of responses criticizing the question’s underlying nature.
“Wow, really?” exclaimed a user. “Whatever became of not caring about bodies!” As a mother of a daughter that’s not ok we as women need to not focus on appearance.’
One more said, “I’m really shocked that you could ask her that on social media for everyone to see. I really do love and adore you, but I was disappointed by that.
It’s none of the business of another user to know whether she did or not, but other users called the line of questioning “rude,” “nasty,” “disgusting,” and “disrespectful.”
