The Streisand effect is well known to those who use the Internet, that is, the desire to make an image or word disappear at all costs attracts even more attention to it. Barbra Streisand, who unintentionally gave his name to the practice by taking legal action in the early 2000s against a man who circulated a photo of the California coast showing his enormous mansion, has evidently not learned his lesson. The song legend deleted a comment, which had already gone viral, that he had left under a post on the actress and comedian’s Instagram profile Melissa McCarthy. Below is the photo of the 53-year-old actress with the director Adam Shankman, “Babs” had written: «Please, as a friend, tell me if you have taken Ozempic? Ozempic is, obviously, the anti-diabetes drug that has been taken for some time now by those who want to lose weight quickly, but not without side effects. Numerous Hollywood stars have resorted to it in recent months, creating a trend that has led to the exhaustion of stocks of this essential product for diabetic patients… and the faces of all these stars have been marked by a sudden loss of weight.
The comment, obviously aimed exclusively at Melissa McCarthy’s eyes, was quickly deleted by Barbra Streisand, after several responses from users annoyed by the observation. But there were already those who had taken a screenshot, which ended up on the Instagram account @commentsbycelebs. This account lists, for its 1.7 million followers, the best (or worst) comments written by celebs, deleted or not.
