“Am I to blame for my aging?” This is how Streisand responded to the haters who criticized her for her aged appearance

Barbra Streisand’s appearance has always been a magnet for paparazzi and media attention. Recently, the famous actress has been heavily criticized for her noticeably aged appearance.

Not everyone was prepared for the transformation she has undergone. Her recent public appearance sparked heated debate online, and many struggled to recognize her.

Dressed casually and without makeup, her disheveled appearance seemed to accentuate her age, leading to an increase in negative comments.

The reactions on social media were quick and varied:

“I was definitely not ready for this!”, “She looks like a grandma now”, “What happened to her former beauty?”, “Am I the only one who barely recognized her?”

In response to the backlash, Streisand addressed her critics, suggesting that criticizing someone for aging was like blaming water for being wet.
