She added, "I didn’t mean to dismiss the trauma these boys experienced in any way. Like all survivors of sexual assault, they will have to carry this for the rest of their lives. I feel deep remorse and I hope that James and Wade know that I truly respect and admire them for speaking their truth."
In an interview published Friday, Streisand received instant backlash after speaking to the The Times of London about the controversial film. In addition to saying the alleged abuse didn't kill them, she added, "You can say 'molested,' but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there." She also blamed parents for allowing their kids to spend the night at Jackson's home. Many took to social media and beyond to call her comments victim shaming.
It's not about choosing your words correctly..it's about the attitude behind those words that need correcting
TheView bunch of bs she meant what she said noone misspeaks re pedophila its one topic everyone except pedophiles just cringes and dead ass again. she sorry she said it publicly but she believes it. ik sunny got a strong opinion re this
Barbara I get the point you were trying to make 😩. My thoughts always get me in trouble ! This makes all of us afraid to say a thing in fear it will be interpreted differently 😢 you are still loved and I still love you as the Legend you are 💋
TheView Who cares - anti American - send AOC to get her money and see what happens -
Michael Jackson started singing around 1964 in strip clubs and night clubs with his brothers. He was never molested by his Father or Brothers . Never found guilty in a court system. So “Leaving Neverland is a money making big lie! (link:

What about all the crap said about trump and opposition of the left
No she isn’t, save your image babs...we all know what you were saying!
no BarbraStreisand barbrastreisand Barbra original tweet was correct..KingOfPop MichaelJackson was innocent
Too late, Barbara. Damage already done.
It’s a world where people want to believe the world is flat ~ if u know what I mean 😉
KATUNews I may have been born at night, just not last night. If you buy her BS I can sell you some beach front property in Arizona
So Funny!
TheView Barbara Streisand could care less what happened to Michael Jackson’s victims....Hollywood elitist cover for their sexual predators...just more of the same. TMZ Variety
KATUNews As with other brain dead celebrities I choose to boycott any and all productions the have made. I’m fine reading a book. Suck it
Hollyweirds....
I think I see a bunch of cry babies calling another person nasty names because ? Why do words matter for some and not for the President of the US? He says stupid shit all the time and well, that is ok, but good lord anyone else
Looks like cat woman!!
Way to back it up Barbara.. sorry it’s been said and your still a PIG!
Who wrote for her?
😡🤬
TheView She knows they are just doing this for $$$$$$$
Thought she was moving if Trump won
TheView
I hate hollywood
I see your comments and i am surprised that no one mentions the fact that she presents her feelings as FACTS . she speaks like she is the judge who ruled about MJ ‘s guilt!!! I am disgusted.
Is anyone bothered/frightened that no one even tries to use the word “alleged” anymore
BarbraStreisand go far, far away! 👿
TheView Too late
So she'll get treated like Roseanne then..... Oh wait...
yea right.
Tu tranquila en tu mansión!!!!
TheView She’s a Liberal and a Trump Hater so she gets a Pass. 🤡
Was Barb stoned?
TheView So
Too late!
What victims!! The liars who have no difinitive proof apart from words, and their grooming parents 👊 Let's all say when we met him we were abused! Will they pay us millions for it 🤔
You have lived a lifetime living by choosing the words of your songs well.
Hmmm, no, no misunderstanding, babs.
Yo “Babs” just shut the Fcukup! You was doing just fine, sitting at home living out your nice comfortable happy life.
Barb if you don’t hav nothing good to say don’t say anything!!
To late. You should of moved out of the country when Trump was elected like you said you would. Another misunderstanding?
Too little, too late!
“Who?”, said 70% of all Twitter users.
'Damn. I thought my fans would be pro-child molestation, but I guess not....'
That’s just JAP/Prog privilege.
How can she be PROFOUNDLY sorry, after saying something so pitiful that showed how she REALLY felt?
Pedophile sympathiser.
Only trying to change because she's an idiot, She said what she believes
'I'm sorry I said pedophilia is ok as long as the pedophile is wealthy and famous.' Nice try, Barb. Nobody's buying that crap.
Sooner or later everyone in the world will learn that not speaking will be the best path to success!!! We are moving into a new world of mutes. This will help disable the media who is the main source of spreading negativity!!!
KATUNews Barbara you are another glaring example of the Hollywood cesspool!
How could anyone misunderstand the meaning of her words? She laid it out pretty clear.
Fuck you too late
karma
TheView Media and readers take note: ' the words as printed do not reflect my true feelings.' alwayskeepthisinmind
Love it...”I didn’t choose my words carefully enough”! WTH..you have to choose words carefully for an apology? 🤦🏻♀️🙄
TheView Really don't care about Streisands view on anything specially on MJ, she'll have no notoriety even after passing like Michael still does.She should focus on Israel's protection of a female orthodox child molester being kept from extradition back to US.
She's 'profoundly sorry' that her mouth got blasted on social media. That's all she's truly sorry for doing. Just another Hollywood loser who has zero reliability for reality yet thinks they know it all.
Her response is about as truthful as Adam Schitt's evidence of collusion.
TheView Tell the witch to stop trashing victims and the potus. Tell BarbraStreisand to be kinder and less judgemental. Her attacks are as evil as the day is long and have been for years.
TheView Barbara is a STAR and she can say whatever she wishes to say. She is a “Goddess”—-in her own mindless mind!
TheView I'm don't know why Barbara made her way in now, could be her career is non existent & will after she passes unlike MJs. She should focus on the female Orthodox child molester being protected by Israel from extradition back here!!
TheView Wel sense he was acquitted therefore has no victims no apologies needed . Unless u mean the parents who where out for a paycheck
“Not choosing my words carefully”? How else do you spin your approval of pedophilia? How would you describe Jeffrey Dahmer’s activities? “Well he had special dietary needs.”
Ya and if you believe her there are several bridges I will sell you!
And she ended her apology by saying '...and I fully accept Michael Jackson was a kiddie shagger'
TheView Yep, very sorry. But she still said them.
Uh, 'the words as printed' were the words that came your mouth, Barbara. Unless you're saying you were misquoted, there's no excuse, and your further attempt to deflect blame is cowardly.
TheView Don't apologize for speaking your truth. Everyone else gets to speak theirs but if it's against the narrative they wanna come at you, nah...its everyone gets to speak or nobody gets to speak
TheView Too late, we suspected you support pedophilia. Now we know for sure.
Choosing her words more carefully? Give me a break
Too late ! Keep quiet !
TheView 'as printed'?
Beautiful voice, VERY ugly words. Shame on you Barbra!
Sure she’s sorry. Sorry she got dragged for her hateful comments.
It's not what a person says that is important, but what they mean. Sometimes our thoughts collide and we misspeak! Sometimes we don't even notice until someone points it out! Hold people to their actions! Talk is cheap! What they show you of who they are, is what's important! 🤔
GIVE ME A BREAK BARBRA. THEY ARE LYING !
No matter the words she chose, her direct thoughts wouldn’t have changed.
You ment it exactly as written, once the backlash hit, you went into walking it back mode. Americans are not the fool's you think they are...
May I suggest this book from IngrahamAngle
Ridiculous. Non-apology apology. Didn’t choose words carefully? What a bunch of BS. Sit down, Barbra. This is a conversation for adults.
She still said them .
Too late.
She needs to stay in her lane, and stick to singing and retirement.
But she can say the two alleged victims are lying.
This would not have happened if BarbraStreisand had a brain to engage.
Just another holly weirdo spouting off at the mouth
Her retraction is hollow, the words as printed are exactly her true feeling. Like most liberals they are cowards & can't simply admit when they are wrong.
IM OFFENDED! Hello? Hello? is this MIC on? Hello....
She is just another disgusting Hollywood lib.
“...for any misunderstanding” she caused? Was there more than one way to interpret her initial comments?
Fall from grace - thud.
Yeah right. Go back to bed Babs.
Tough rules are 'NOONE' gets a second chance (In libland anyway)
Oh sure she is. She’s only sorry there was a backlash.
She hasn't been relevant for more than 30 years... and she should be able to afford a better plastic surgeon. Yikes.
Babs is old and senile.
She’s crossed the line!
... said her publicist? Give me a break. Those were HER words, thoses were HER feelings. OWN IT. And now we know.
She's apologising because she didn't use less sensitive words in justifying sleeping with children? 🧐
She endorsed paedophilia, can you take that back?
Hell then what did you mean?
I knew what she meant...friggin reactionaries.
