Barbra Streisand Was Sexually Abused


Hollywood movie mogul Ray Stark sexually abused Barbra Streisand at the start of her acting career, her producer ex-boyfriend Jon Peters alleges in a new tell-all book, reports the Post.

In his memoir, Studio Head, Peters revealed that he "wanted to kill" Stark - who was once Barbra's hair stylist(Ehaow!) and producer of "The Way We Were" - when he learned that "Stark, an ogre of male chauvinistic casting-couch sexual entitlement, had molested both Lesley Ann [Warren] and Barbra when they were auditioning for him, and neither had ever really gotten over it."

He also revealed that Streisand has had affairs with three of her leading men.

Peters claims she told him that she'd had "life-imitates-art affairs with Robert Redford on "The Way We Were" and Ryan O'Neal on "What's Up, Doc?." And had just ended one with Kris Kristofferson, then at his hunkiest in "A Star Is Born."

“Barbra may have had her neuroses and insecurities, but getting men — the men every woman wanted — was not one of them," he said.

Stark died in 2004.
