ENTERTAINMENT Barbra Streisand says Michael Jackson’s accusers were ‘thrilled to be there’ and his ‘sexual needs were his sexual needs’ By GINA SALAMONE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS MAR 22, 2019 | 9:35 PM

Barbra Streisand says Michael Jackson’s accusers were ‘thrilled to be there’ and his ‘sexual needs were his sexual needs’ Barbra Streisand, seen here with Michael Jackson at a 1986 event in Los Angeles, said the men accusing him of sexually abusing them as kids were "thrilled to be there." (Mark Avery/ASSOCIATED PRESS) Barbra Streisand is under fire for comments she made about two men accusing Michael Jackson of sexually assaulting them as children.

The legendary singer and actress said that Wade Robson and James Safechuck — whose allegations against the late King of Pop resurfaced in the recent documentary “Leaving Neverland" — “were thrilled to be there” and that what allegedly happened to them “didn’t kill them."

They probably deserve each other.

Time surely has been tough on poor Babs.
She looks like hell.

[trebb]

Explains the song:

Thriller Michael Jackson -

Number Ones It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between The eyes
You're paralyzed.

It was a tribute to all them "thrilled guests"

Sounds like Babs is saying the old line about rape victims are really “just laying down and enjoying it.”

Look people, her point was a that the depraved parents didn’t effing care, the parents were excited to be around a celebrity. Just like people that don’t care about killing babies, these parents were more than willing to let their children spend time at Neverland.

Look people, her point was a that the depraved parents didn’t effing care, the parents were excited to be around a celebrity. Just like people that don’t care about killing babies, these parents were more than willing to let their children spend time at Neverland. I watched the "Leaving Neverland" documentary on HBO. The first family (Safechuck's) I actually felt a bit sorry for. Michael Jackson wormed his way in over the course of a couple years, at first paling around with the mother and father, then gradually getting close to the young son after he had gained their trust. He started hanging around their house claiming he just wanted to live like a "normal" person, the mother thought of him a second son, cooking his meals, doing his laundry. I think she genuinely felt close to him and thought he was a good person. Then Jackson began taking them on tour with him. At first perfectly normal, he would invite them to his suite to watch movies or whatever. Then he began asking if their son could spend the night with him because he was bored and wanted someone to talk to. The first few times she said no and Jackson never pressed the is issue, but after a while relented because the two got along so well and she trusted him. Once Jackson got his hooks into the boy, he began to push the rest of the family away. At first they were in a Suite across from his, then the next tour they would be at the far end of the hall, then they would be on different floors. The mother eventually got suspicious and even spied on them a couple times but never witnessed anything inappropriate so decided she was just being paranoid.

The second family however were just nuts. They had only known Jackson for a couple days when they just left their son with him and took a week's vacation to the Grand Canyon.

“His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,” Streisand told The Times. “You can say ‘molested,’ but those children, as you heard say [grown-up Robson and Safechuck], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.”

What did the dummies think about Bab’s comments?

[yldstrk]

What kind of people have the time to “go on tour” with Michael Jackson, unless he was paying them a salary too. Ain’t buying. Horse hockey. They were using him.

[hal ogen]

The kids being raped in the back of the windowless van were thrilled to get the candy...

[AppyPappy]

I cannot think of anything more horrible than what she said. It shows their disdain for the “commoners” that their children should be grateful to be used as sexual objects for the wealthy class.

[yldstrk]

You are missing the point, genius

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

I’m sure Streisand says the same thing when it is females complaining about date rape.

Bitter, barren old hag?

[hal ogen]

It is called sarcasm. By the way, the personal insult was uncalled for, you nitwit.
