Michelle Obama: Hateful comments part of her story

Michelle Obama learned the hard way that becoming the country’s first African-american first lady doesn’t come without some harsh commentary.

Speaking onstage to Gayle King on Saturday at Essence Festival’s 25th anniversary celebration in New Orleans, the former first lady got real about how she learned to shake off hateful comments. “It was important to tell that part of the story (in “Becoming,” her 2018 best-selling autobiography) because they see me and Barack now, but they don’t know how many punches it took us to get there,” said Obama, according to Essence.

It was 1976 all over again in London as Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson performed a song from their movie “A Star Is Born.” Headlining British Summer Time in Hyde Park Sunday night, Streisand sang “Evergreen” from the movie before calling to the stage “one of my favorite leading men.” The pair sang “Lost Inside of You.”
