People lashed out at the Scary Movie 3 actress for weeks after the incident. During an interview, McCarthy talked about the incident and explained herself. When she was asked why she kissed Bieber, the actress said,

“I couldn’t help it, he was just so delicious, so little, and just, ahhhk, I wanted to tear his head off and eat it. It was a little cougar scary but I took the opportunity in the window, considering I’ll never get to do it again, and kind of molested him. Can you imagine how hilarious that would be?” 

McCarthy’s statement again sparked controversy as what she said was inappropriate in many ways.

Many people lashed out again at McCarthy and reportedly said that it was a publicity stunt that she pulled to garner attention.

Reportedly, at the American Music Awards, the actress was asked by a reporter backstage about the way she tried to kiss Bieber and the actress said the kiss was a spontaneous act by her and was not planned. Netizens found the whole situation quite weird.
