Barbra Streisand’s Barwood Films Took $200,000 in COVID Relief Cash to Pay Her Gardener
Breitbart ^ | 01/12/2024 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Barbra Streisand’s film production company reportedly took $200,000 in small business COVID relief loans and used the cash to pay a gardener working at Streisand’s $20 million Malibu mansion.

According to records reviewed by the New York Post, Streisand’s Barwood Films Ltd. received the COVID relief loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020 and 2021. These loans were later excused by the federal government and Streisand did not have to pay them back.

However, instead of the funds going to support the film company’s staff, some of the cash went to pay for the Funny Girl star’s personal gardener at her Malibu home.

A spokesperson for Streisand has disputed the claim that her gardener was paid by COVID relief funds, but the paper determined that the gardener is listed as an employee of Barwood Films Ltd. and the company took the funding to pay its employees for those few years.

I grew up in SoCal in the ‘50s. It was common knowledge that the place to see stars was at the Hollywood unemployment office. As soon as shooting stopped, nearly everyone who worked on the film was ‘unemployed’ and so they went down to start drawing their checks.

The studios did have to pay unemployment taxes so it was considered only right for the employees to draw no matter how rich they were. No doubt the same mentality is on display here.

No, no, no, it’s her personal gardener was an employee of the film company already. That’s what rich people do, they write off or shift their personal expenses. Vacation, no that was a business trip with the company’s VP (wife)…..

We are now hearing that hundreds of billions were looted under false pretenses from the government during the Covid debacle, and Babs was part of it.

2023 Net Worth estimated at $400 million.

She has to cut corners and trim spending these days, so using diverted Covid money makes sense. Could say “had to pay for masks.”

I really liked her work in What’s Up, Doc.
