Barbra Streisand backlash: Issues apology over controversial Michael Jackson comments

<p>Barbra Streisand has apologised for her remarks about Michael Jackson and the two men who have accused him of sexual abuse.</p> <p>Streisand has been slammed after saying in a recent interview that Jackson’s accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, were “thrilled to be there” and that the alleged sexual abuse “didn’t kill them”.</p> <p>Robson and Safechuck, who were featured in the documentary <em>Leaving Neverland</em>, told the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47403951" target="_blank"><em>BBC</em></a> that Jackson abused them from the ages of seven and 10.</p> <p>In an interview with <em>The Times</em>, Streisand said she “absolutely” believed Robson and Safechuck’s claims. However, she added: “His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.</p> <p>“You can say ‘molested’, but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.”</p> <p>Backlash has ensued following the publication of the interview. “‘His sexual needs were his sexual needs’ – is pedophilia tolerated in parts of the entertainment industry?” said Dan Reed, the documentary’s director.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr">“His sexual needs were his sexual needs” - is pedophilia tolerated in parts of the entertainment industry? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/leavingneverland?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#leavingneverland</a> <a href="https://t.co/LTdq1LXLkg">https://t.co/LTdq1LXLkg</a></p> — Dan Reed (@danreed1000) <a href="https://twitter.com/danreed1000/status/1109405584070270976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2019</a></blockquote> <p>Streisand then gave a statement to the Associated Press and posted an extended apology online.</p> <p>“I am profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused by not choosing my words more carefully about Michael Jackson and his victims, because the words as printed do not reflect my true feelings,” she said in a statement on Instagram.</p> <p>“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.”</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXXNCyH-4c/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXXNCyH-4c/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Barbra Streisand (@barbrastreisand)</a> on Mar 23, 2019 at 1:57pm PDT</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Over the years, the Jackson estate have denied any allegations that the pop star behaved inappropriately with children.</p> <p>“I want them to understand and know that this documentary is not telling truth,” Jackson’s brother Marlon told <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/music/leaving-neverland-doco-why-michael-jackson-s-son-blanket-has-stopped-talking" target="_blank"><em>CBS This Morning</em></a>. “There has not been not one piece of evidence that corroborates their story.”</p> <p>Jackson, who died in 2009, settled out of court for a child molestation lawsuit in 1993 and was acquitted for charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy in 2005.</p>

Barbara Streisand opens up: "I wasn't pretty enough to be harassed"

<p>Barbara Streisand has revealed she’s never suffered sexual harassment in Hollywood, but has felt abused by the media.</p> <p>In a wide-ranging interview with director, product and long-time admirer Ryan Murphy, Streisand spoke candidly about her career, the #MeToo movement and her aversion to interviews.</p> <p>When asked if she had ever been sexually harassed or mistreated, Streisand replied: “Never”.</p> <p>“I wasn’t like those pretty girls with those nice little noses. Maybe that’s why,” she added.</p> <p>Of the #MeToo movement sweeping the entertainment industry, she said, “We’re in a strange time now in terms of men and women and the pendulum swinging this way and that way, and it’s going to have to come to the centre.”</p> <p>She also opened up about her reluctance to speak to the media, which is based on years of what she labelled “inaccurate reporting”.</p> <p>One particularly persistent story that Streisand labelled as false is that she has an “awards room” at home dedicated to her Oscars, Emmys and other trophies.</p> <p>She also criticised the late American TV journalist Mike Wallace, recalling how when she was a young star (and before Wallace joined 60 Minutes) he asked her a series of hurtful questions during a TV interview and she had complained to him afterwards.</p> <p>However, on a subsequent show Wallace told viewers who’d objected to his line questioning of Streisand that she “loved” the interview.</p> <p>“I thought, I don’t know what date rape is, it’s terrible … but it was such a violation,” she said. “Why lie?”</p> <p>The interview, which was part of a tribute to Streisand for the 35th annual PaleyFest LA television festival at the Dolby Theatre, ended with Murphy’s own personal tribute to the Funny Girl star.</p> <p>“People talk about Barbra as the greatest female star. I say, no, that’s not enough,” Murphy said, adding, “She was a touchstone, a beacon I followed my entire life.”</p>
