Barbra Streisand Surprised by Viral Instagram Compliment for Melissa McCarthy at CTG Gala.
In recent news, Barbra Streisand has addressed her viral Instagram reply to Melissa McCarthy. The singer-actress revealed that she had gone on Instagram to view photos of the flowers she received for her birthday, but was surprised to find a photo of McCarthy instead. Despite knowing McCarthy well and often collaborating with her, Streisand forgot that her comment would be seen by the world and accidentally complimented her friend’s appearance.
The photo of McCarthy at the CTG Gala with Adam Shankman quickly went viral, and Streisand’s comment became the talk of the town. While McCarthy has not directly responded to Streisand’s comment, she did tell paparazzi that she views Streisand as a treasure and loves her. This year’s CTG Gala event saw McCarthy presenting an honor to director and choreographer Matthew Bourne.
The CTG Gala is an annual fundraiser that supports the Center Theatre Group’s mission of producing and presenting high-quality theatre, nurturing new artists, attracting audiences, and offering youth outreach and arts education programs in Los Angeles. The event raises millions of dollars each year to support these important initiatives.
