Barbra Streisand is facing serious backlash, for comments she made about Michael Jackson’s alleged victims.
In an interview with The Times of London, the legendary singer was asked what she thought about the docu-film Leaving Neverland.
In the documentary, Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege that Michael sexually abused them as children.
The 76-year-old said she “absolutely” believes the alleged victims – but then said, “His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.”
She continued, “You can say ‘molested,’ but those children, as you heard say [in the documentary], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.”
When asked if she was angry with Michael, Barbra said, “It’s a combination of feelings. I feel bad for the children. I feel bad for him.”
“I blame, I guess, the parents, who would allow their children to sleep with him. Why would Michael need these little children dressed like him and in the shoes and the dancing and the hats?”
After Barbra’s comments were published, many took to Twitter to slam the singer.

Here’s what Barbara Streisand said about Michael Jackson molesting KIDS:
“His sexual needs were his sexual needs”
“You can say molested but those children were thrilled to be there”
“It didn’t kill them”
She also blames pedophilia on DNA. Sickening. https://t.co/QvQUz5mZGa

“His sexual needs were his sexual needs” – is pedophilia tolerated in parts of the entertainment industry? #leavingneverland https://t.co/LTdq1LXLkg

Barbra Streisand reminds us why we can’t trust her judgement. Michael Jackson’s “sexual needs were his sexual needs,” she says. “You can say ‘molested,’ but those children…both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.” https://t.co/B84K3KE4kJ …

Barbra Streisand says it’s perfectly fine to molest your children.

“Nuts” is a deeply underrated Barbra Streisand film nobody seems to remember; about how childhood sexual abuse can damage an adult for decades.
And you seriously wouldn’t believe who’s forgotten it.

Motion to permanently remove Barbra Streisand as queer icon. Do I have a second? https://t.co/K1hiyhDIxj

My initial inclination is to joke in response to Barbra Streisand’s horrific remarks because as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I need to process this in a way that doesn’t fucking kill me. Holy christ, Babs. What the fuck is wrong with you?
