A mainstay of the Hollywood glitterati, Barbra Streisand recently went too far in her online defense of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, claiming that Willis was the victim of a conservative scheme to use her private life to discredit her public one.
The singer and actress claimed in a post on X that Willis is only guilty of desiring a personal connection with Nathan Wade, the assistant attorney she employed to look into Trump and the other eighteen defendants they have accused with racketeering in connection with Georgia’s 2020 election outcomes.
“How absurd it is for the Republicans to want to fire Fani Willis. For what purpose? Believing that a woman cannot lead a private life in addition to a career? Men engage in it frequently! How absurd is this situation? said Streisand on Monday.
“Trump and his supporters are assaulting Willis, the DA, who is bringing charges against him for trying to thwart Georgia’s electorate’s decision. She is close to one of the prosecutors in private. The case’s facts and Trump’s blatant attempt to force the Secretary of State to “find” additional votes for him and present fictitious electors to Congress have nothing to do with this. It’s just another one of Trump’s distractions,” she continued.
Steve Harvey Under Fire Following His Wife’s Use of the “R” Word
Certain words carry significant impact and should be avoided altogether. Some of these words target specific groups, while others are simply too offensive to tolerate. When Steve Harvey’s wife used the word “retarded” on social media, it caused public outcry. Steve Harvey stepped in to address the situation and defend his wife.
The incident unfolded in a video on Marjorie Harvey’s Instagram, where she and Steve were playfully cutting fruit in the kitchen. Marjorie used the offensive term while joking about an argument with her husband over vegetable cutting. However, her choice of words sparked a major controversy, prompting Steve Harvey to intervene.
In the video, Marjorie can be heard saying, “I’m sitting here arguing with my husband, ’cause clearly he thinks I’m retarded [and] I don’t know how to cut a beet.” This clip garnered over 400,000 views on Instagram, where Marjorie boasts 1.7 million followers as a fashion and lifestyle blogger.
Many of Marjorie’s followers expressed disappointment and outrage at her use of the derogatory term. Some highlighted the harmful impact such language has on individuals with cognitive disabilities and their families. Despite backlash, some supporters dismissed the criticism as excessive political correctness.
Steve Harvey defended his wife’s use of the word, arguing it was not meant to offend and that people were overreacting. He expressed frustration with what he perceived as an overly sensitive response from the public.
The incident raised questions about the public’s reaction to offensive language and the boundaries of political correctness. While some felt the outrage was justified, others believed it was blown out of proportion. Ultimately, the controversy emphasized the importance of sensitivity and respect when using language, particularly in a public setting.
