Barbra Streisand is coming under intense criticism on social media for telling a British newspaper that two men who say they were molested as children by Michael Jackson were BԪַthrilled to be thereBԪַ and that the alleged abuse BԪַdidnBԪַt kill them.BԪַ

In a wide-ranging interview with the Times of London, Streisand was quoted as saying she BԪַabsolutelyBԪַ believed the accusers. Wade Robson and James Safechuck make their allegations in the HBO documentary BԪַLeaving Neverland.BԪַ

But the legendary singer also raised eyebrows by saying JacksonBԪַs BԪַsexual needs were his sexual needs.BԪַ
