Joy Behar Takes Barbra Streisand's Side In Melissa McCarthy Ozempic Scandal For THIS Unexpected Reason!

Joy Behar thinks Barbra Streisand did nothing wrong!

The iconic singer sparked some controversy on social media this week when she asked Melissa McCarthy if she was taking Ozempic in a since-deleted comment on Instagram. The whole thing felt like it was meant to be a private DM that had accidentally been blasted to the internet. And Barbra even agreed, insisting she “forgot the world is reading” and only meant it as a “compliment.” Such an LA thing. LOLz!

Most folks, including the Gilmore Girls star herself, laughed off the drama. But that alone hasn’t been enough to shut down all the backlash. And now, the daytime TV personality is coming to the Woman in Love artist’s defense!

Then, Joy said it’s basically the same thing as New Yorkers asking “what rent do you pay” — stressing that the taboo convo should be normalized. That is a unique POV for sure. And one with which not everyone agreed!! It was here that Sara clapped back, arguing she’d NEVER ask such personal Qs about someone’s finances! And as for the rent issue, Behar argued that’s because she’s not a real New Yorker, teasing, “you’re from Iowa!” LMFAO!

Ultimately, though, they all seemed to agree that Barbra should be let off the hook. Alyssa Farah Griffin summed it up:

Hah! Hear them debate this latest pop
