Barbra Streisand’s Fans Debate Over a Photo of Her Little Granddaughter Wearing a Swimsuit
The iconic singer and actress raised a few eyebrows after she shared a snapshot of her granddaughter wearing a bikini.
77-year-old Barbra Streisand took to Instagram to share the photo of her 8-month-old granddaughter, Westlyn Reign, the daughter of her stepson, Josh Brolin, wearing a striped bikini and waving the American flag.
The proud grandmother captioned the post, “My patriotic granddaughter waving the American flag on the 4th of July! She looks so cute in her first bikini!”
FANS VOICE DISPLEASURE
While Streisand was perfectly okay with the photo and the way her granddaughter was dressed in it, few of her fans on social media expressed their discontent.
