After Babs caught some heat for asking if Melissa had shed some pounds thanks to the weight loss drug … a photog caught up with the actress on the street in L.A. মঙ্গলবার — where she said she still has love for the superstar.
MMC made it clear it was NBD at all saying … “I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her.” She even waved off the photog’s question on whether she thought Barbra was out of line.
Obviously … it’s all water under the bridge, although — Barbra did end up addressing this on her end directly … issuing a mea culpa to Melissa and explaining how this flub even happened.
BS wrote, “OMG – I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday! Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album.”
Babs adds, “She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!” In other words … Barbra seems to have lost track of the fact both she and Melissa are A-list stars. Whoops!
মনে রাখা, Melissa and Barbra have a close relationship, with MM appearing on the singer’s 2016 album, “Encore,” just like Barbra mentions here. On the album, Melissa and Barbra sang a duet from “Annie Get Your Gun,” titled “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better).”
Since then, Barbra has had a habit of leaving casual comments on Melissa’s Instagram posts — this one just happened to catch the attention of everyone who follows them, and beyond.
No harm, no foul … Melissa isn’t trippin’ — and Barbra’s already putting it behind her.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.
