They were singing one of his songs when it happened. The lyrics were “I’ll have you naked by the end of this song” or something like that. It was obviously planned. And he left her out to dry and take all of the blame for it.

Correction: They didn’t pre-plan her friggin’ boob flying out! He lies & said thry did which makes him an even bigger POS!

He threw Janet under the friggin’ bus & said that it was her idea that HER friggin’ boob came out! I don’t know how old you are to not remember this.

The only correct take on this obnoxious news comes from the delightful and consistently amazing Jay Smooth (if you are not aware of him and his fantastic videos, please familiarize yourselves immediately):

Janet got a ton of shit for this. If JT really wanted to be a good dude about it, he should have stuck up for her or at least stood by her when the media and family council groups went after her. Who knows what happened behind the scenes, but in public he distanced himself and she got slut shamed like crazy.

HA, I was young enough that I’d never even heard of the Super Bowl Halftime Show before then! Or Justin Timberlake! Or Janet Jackson!

I don’t want “Sexy Back”, I want ‘Janet Back.’

He was responsible for it too. They pre-planned it and the dumbshit said as much immediately after. It was only after the shit hit the fan that he backtracked and blamed her.

not only did he let her take the blame for it but he blamed her too and tried to distance himself from it. even though it was rumored that they were dating (or had dated?) and he was clearly friends with the family (the aforementioned michael jackson concert).

I think it’s because he let her take the fall for everything. It was not particularly ethical of him.

What they’re not telling us is that Janet Jackson will be a surprise guest on the show; she’ll be wearing a handmaid’s cloak.

I feel so old now.

Idea: at the end of his set, Janet pops out and rips his codpiece dick off.

This. Literally just this. My mind is blown.

I died a little inside when I read that. It seems like it was literally yesterday.

I wish they’d have the balls to explain, on camera, exactly why he’s been invited back and she is permanently banned. I know it would be a bunch of shit, but I’d still like to watch them squirm for a bit while they pass it.

Oh god I was in high school! What happened?!
