Barbra Streisand is speaking out to clarify her comments on sexual abuse allegations against Michael Jackson after claiming his accusers were “thrilled” by the experience. “The stories these two young men shared were painful to hear, and I feel nothing but sympathy for them. The single most important role of being a parent is to protect their children. Though Streisand said, “I feel bad for the children,” she called the pop star “very sweet” and “very childlike” before proceeding to defend his behavior, implying Robson and Safechuck weren’t really molested. “His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,” she said.
