Barbra Streisand under fire after saying Michael Jackson accusers were 'thrilled to be there'

Barbra Streisand introduces"BlacKkKlansman" at the Oscars on Feb. 24 in Los Angeles. By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow March 23 at 10:55 AM Legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand is under fire for saying that two men who were allegedly molested as children by Michael Jackson had been “thrilled to be there.”

But her assessment of the long-term impact on both men, and Jackson’s behavior, has drawn considerable ire from the public. The Times interviewer writes that he brought up Jackson because both he and Streisand achieved a similar level of fame. However, Streisand says she met Jackson a couple of times and turned down an opportunity to record a duet with him.After the interview was published, Streisand’s name was trending on Twitter as users expressed surprise and outrage, including the director of “Leaving Neverland,” Dan Reed.

Barbra essentially said that rich people can do what they want with poor people up to and including pedophilia

What is the term that her leftist friend used - feckless c... - that describes pathetic Babs precisely

he was acquitted in a court of law in a previous case

Imagine if anyone but a flaming lib said this. They wouldn’t be “under fire” they’d be buried by the left and by the media! doublestandard

annmjensen Roseanne's remarks were as to nothing compared to BS feeling sorry for a sexual predator. Will BS lose her career? doubt it

Liberals are moral whores when it comes to defending their icons. Polanski, Jackson, and Allen are just a few where they hold their collective noses and cast a blind eye to sexual abuse, rape, and harassment!

I agree with Barbara... they were thrilled to be there and their parents approved. Now that MJ is dead? They say all this mess....

TDS

I would hate to be in Barbara's position right now. And while I do not find the words she chose to express herself savory. I still wonder why this specific time.... the man is already dead and can not defend himself against these new accusations... He has an estate worth?

Barb, parents have a responsibility in what is happening with their children. Were they so awestruck, that they did not take any responsibility? There was a trial, if they means anything!

We support you BarbraStreisand! And we agree with you 100% In addition, it is totally unfair to Michael and his family to make claims after he has passed away. No one can defend themselves after their death. DeleteLeavingNeverland

I agree with her!!

Leftists Support racists, bigots, and now pedophiles. We have to hold liberals, and the DEMs to account for their outrageous behavior. It is un-American.

I believe the underlying meaning of what she's saying is that she doesn't care much for the dart throwing contest going on 10 years after his death.

NOT ONE CHILD WENT THERE WITH THE EXPECTATION OF BEING RAPED!!!!! TIME FOR TWITTER TO DO ITS THING & BOYCOTT BABS!!!!

Babs is nuts (and not the movie title, either)

thats Bad.

A 'documentary' somehow makes a reality?

Icon is no more.Let him rest in peace. Why rake up old issues&skeletons. His musical and on stage talents are unsurpassed.

This is the worst possible take on the history of the Universe....

Miss spoken & should be discarded.

'Yes go ahead and molest me then pay me off so i will be 'thrilled' to live my life dealing with the ptsd'

She’s been a loser for years now just confirms it even more.

Of course the ultimate lefty Clairvoyant.

She’s a sick liberal who is saying sex abuse is ok bec it’s Michael Jackson. How can anyone take her serious!

I’ll say

Something tells me she also defends Roman Polanski.

What fire?The parents of the boys shud be u see fire!How the he’ll you allow ur young boys to sleep over not knowing what is going on! Oh please, acquitted before,now needs money from estate.All BS!!!!

I think Babs should get a pass because, well, just because. You know, shut up.

Because she’s a white women she’ll get a pass and be praised by the narrow minded ‘identity politics’ people. She’ll pay no penalty what so ever! No need to be surprised, that’s the kind of bulls**t society we live in.

That's a Yikes from me

From her perspective, no one has ever *wanted* to have sex with her, so she can’t relate.

If this is true, and considering your track record that is not guaranteed, she should be stripped of every award she has ever won!

I don’t know what’s grosser, that comment or Streisand

She shouldn’t have stuck her nose in this.

ינתל ! הערה שלך זה לא טוב ?

...until they weren't.

Another Hollwood Sicko showing her True Colors!

No surprise. She speaks for Hollywood

Wow!!!

Now she's called Not Funny Girl

This is the direction Progressivism is heading. LGBTQ wasn’t enough.

I’d read this if your darn “Find my subscription” link worked. NeverWorks NoWaPoClicks4U I have an active subscription. FixIt

People need to get a life and leave the deceased alone.Foolish people.

But the parents aren’t under fire for pimping their children? GTFOH! Who put those children in Michael Jacksons home? Not Streisand. So let’s talk about the real monsters shall we.

She’s an unpleasant, face-lifted weirdo with a loving tolerance for perversion. What happened to our country?

And the liberal dumpster fire continues

Hollywood needs to shut down until we find all these pedophiles and their enablers and end them.

Not Funny, Girl. People who need people do NOT need you. BarbraStreisand

After watching the 15 minutes of the excruciating documentary, I agree with her.

What the hell is wrong with her?

I was driving. Michael Jackson song was on a station on the radio. I immediately changed the station.

wargoat Flies are thrilled to be in a Venus Fly Trap the open trap looks so delicious.

Because she’s a hypocrite!

Seems likely BarbraStreisand is correct, if unpopular. What were the parents doing/thinking to allow this to happen? Who would compromise their child like that? Use common sense; Barbra did.

My brother Chris Hemsworth aka Thor is the real Barbra Streisand using black magic to go inside her. That's what Illuminati magicians do

Yeah, of course a 4 or 9 year old is thrilled to be with a superstar icon, right until the moment he sexually assaults them!!

Isn't it true? Exactly 💰 💰 💰

Where is the lie. Wade and that other lair said under oath that nothing happened, but ten years later they are saying something else

When I hear stuff like that, that's when I understand all the criticism I hear about 'elites' and 'living in a bubble'. (Now, many of those critics are actually elite too but that's another matter.) I'm a survivor and I'm not shocked: that's why we don't speak up.😔

We will never know the real truth, but for Babs to make such a comment is tasteless, but not surprising coming from a Hollywood liberal.

How tone-deaf can a person be Although, she seems to be saying it happened, but since they survived, I guess pedophilia is okay? What an idiot.

So bizarre and so sad.

Streisand is disgusting. She'd better plead dementia

I can’t wait for her to blame Trump for this lol

The ability to sing is not necessarily correlated with great judgment.

Doesn't matter what Streisand said, they are proven liars. Wades mom liked multiple michael jackson related posts on facebook AFTER her son publicly stated that MJ sexually abused her on may 28th. Why don't you run that news story instead of what some once popular celebrity said

That remark is horribly insensible to the victims or anyone else who have been violated! Think twice before you speak!

No child is “thrilled” to be raped. Maybe someone should investigate BarbraStreisand’s history with children.

I did research on this. Others should try it. Wade Robson wanted lead choreographer position at Michael Jackson One show in Vegas. He wrote book of how wonderful MJ was and it didn't sell. Now this and they're suing estate. It's ALL about money. Do research please!!!

Well, she isn't lying! They were thrilled 2 be there! Their parents allowed their kids 2 spend the night with a grown man only BECAUSE he was the rich, famous MICHAEL JACKSON! Parents were also thrilled, at the time, 2 put their kids on stage w/ R Kelly. Crazed fans don't think.

Im sure the kids were thrilled to be there and their parents got caught up in the glamour of it all but the boys didn’t deserve to have their pickles tickled

Hansel and Gretel were “thrilled” to be invited into a house made of candy. Then the evil witch prepared to boil them for dinner.

Hollywood isn't having a good month.

Stone deaf BarbraStreisand. Maybe you are losing it!!!

What I'm saying, just because HBO put a bow on a bullshit package does not make it factual. Accusers are flip floppers with agenda but the gullible public see it in 'documentary' format and it becomes law. GTFOH. The fucking man is dead. Find something or someone else to murder.

Does she get a pass because she’s Hollywood Royalty? Hmmm. You decide.

The sick Hollywood thinking! WOW!

Such a perverted thrill. How sick is Hollywood?

Let's stick with the Mueller Report! Stop looking for wrong bus stops and changing narratives to phuck with people's emotions. The war is about to start.

His sexual needs were his sexual needs. What is wrong with her. She believes them but they weren't hurt. They were raped as children. She obviously doesn't realize that 7 year old kids can't consent. Therefor it's rape. Disgusting

She said his sexual needs were his needs. Barbra favors pedophiles. Sees nothing wrong. Like Trump, says the famous can do what they want. Sexual abuse, rape, it's all good. Bye Barbra. Her career is now just dust.

Michael Jackson is the role model for all aspiring Dem child molesters. Michael got away with it publicly.

If putting kids in cages is horrendous, what the hell do you call excusing pedophilia?

Dear Barbra of course they where thrilled to be there. THEY WERE KIDS GEZZZ. They were abused.

Another sad Michael apologist.

Used to like B Streisand singing. Can go off people.

He was a serial child predator that lured boys to his bed. How can she defend pedophilia?

South Park was right.

Ahhh Hollywood Democrat’s.......the gift that keeps on giving.

I support Barbara. She’s correct.

Trying to create a new 'Streisand effect'

Barbra Streisand is also a Jew who embraces anti-Semite Spike Lee. This is more awfulness from her.

The markets play to human emotions and cannot be expressed thru video nor choreography😓

Some people should just keep their thoughts 'inner' sometimes.

Like it or not she makes a unpleasantly honest, albeit sick point.

B V 😘 s güzel iltifat

She should be.

I think she is saying that it is not rape if you like it?

THEY WERE!!!
