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."
“[Jackson's] 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.”

So much for #MeToo. If rape doesn't kill the victim, then no harm, no foul. Hollywood paid homage to Roman Polanski for decades, so it's no surprise a Hollywood type would excuse Michael Jackson.
Basically, it's "rape" if it would be good publicity; otherwise, it's just life.
Ugh.
"[Jackson's] sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,"
Well, there you have it. Pretty much applies to any of us, don't you think. With that one statement, she destroys the legitimacy of any law pertaining to sexual activity, consensual or no. Yo, Pope Francis. You guys are off the hook.
Recently I've been taking bets on when we'll start seeing accusations of "pedophobia". This is pretty darn close.
It's been trending that way for some time, Scott. They've already got the right lines down.
