To think it's unfair Justin Timberlake has been invited back to perform at the Super Bowl?

Remember the publicity stunt wardrobe malfunction that killed Janet Jacksons career while his went on to flourish? I thought it was so unfair that she got all the blame while he got off scot free. I very much doubt she'd be invited back to perform Angry

YouTube was around way before this incident... I thought so too, but it was actually founded the following year, according to Google!

The slut shaming was appalling, but I'm not sure that JT is here nor there really. It was her body and presumably her choice to expose it.

If I remember correctly, he pulled a part of her costume away, and her breast was exposed.

As part of a reherased routine. So whoever made the costumes fault, not his. Assuming it was a malfunction.

Janet Jackson career was already on uts way out. She helped boost justin timberlakes solo career. But was hoping it would relaunch her own. Publicity stunts help that.

I was in the US watching the superbowl when it happened. All of us there, thought Janet Jackson was an odd choice given it had been years since she had done anything of note.

I am not saying she didnt get the brunt of the backlash, partly because she was a black woman. But i do think it was a poorly planned stunt. His quick apology helped him.
