On the Monday after the incident at Super Bowl Sunday, CBS had Jackson release a written statement apologizing, taking full blame for what they were now calling an unfortunate “accident”. “The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals. MTV was completely unaware of it. The Super Bowl was always weirdly conventional, but the commercials were all weirdly edgy. Two years earlier, there was that Coor’s Light Superbowl commercial that was a parody of Tom T Hall’s “I Love (Little Baby Ducks)” but the punchline is having threesome with twins (because lesbianism and incest are comparable, and both acceptable TIL after Janet Jackson's incident at the Super Bowl halftime show, Viacom retaliated by keeping her music off their properties including MTV, VH1, and radio stations.

The Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, which was broadcast live on February 1, 2004, from Houston, Texas, on the CBS television network, is notable for a moment in which Janet Jackson's right breast and nipple—adorned with a nipple But that’s exactly how FCC chairman Michael Powell described the 2004 halftime show. Specifically the portion of the show that featured Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world.

Despite feeling as though he had been thrown under the bus by the press a decade earlier, Michael Jackson did publicly address the Super Bowl halftime show scandal in the aftermath of the incident. Speaking to Fox News' Geraldo Rivera in 2005, Michael said he gave Janet Jackson some words of advice after the incident. The nation responded by making the Super Bowl the most-watched show once again, as if nothing unsavory had happened. Corporations paid more than $1 million for a 30-second commercial back then.

Reply reply Then my other co worker thought Janet was on the Masked Singer show, when it was Latoya 😂😂. I was just shocked! 😲😲 Gen Z will never know how gigantic Janet was in her peak. She was the it girl for the MTV video era, and still had to compete with her brother, Madonna, Mariah, Prince and Whitney, and still was #1.
