In 2004, female singer Janet Jackson performed with male singer Justin Timberlake during the break of the biggest sporting event in the United States – the “Super Bowl of America” Super Bowl. When the performance ended, Timberlake snatched one side of Janet Jackson’s bra, exposing her bust in front of the camera during a live TV event to millions of American viewers.

This is one of the biggest scandals that has ever occurred in the history of American television programs and to this day, this incident is still recalled and even became the topic of exploitation of documentaries.

After that incident, even though she was a victim, Janet Jackson had to suffer a lot of backlash and harsh judgment, so much so that the person who caused the incident – Justin Timberlake once had to say: “I probably only have to receive about 10% of the criticism. “I think people have been too harsh on women, I think in America, we treat people of color harshly and unfairly.”

Last year, the documentary “Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson” was made, which exploited this incident in detail. In a recent interview with Allure magazine, the 55-year-old singer shared a rare story about a scandal in the past – a topic that Janet Jackson rarely wants to talk about:

“The important thing for me at that time was that I had a psychological foundation, that foundation was not only to have my family by my side, but also to have a strong faith in life, a persistent mental strength so that I could help myself through difficult times. that crisis. To this day, I still find it very difficult to tell this story.”

The incident of being exposed to Janet Jackson was a big shock not only because of the way the public reacted to her, but also because she herself was not comfortable showing her body:

“I’ve never been a feminine, sexy girl who likes to show off my body beauty, on the contrary, I’ve always been a “tomboy” girl. I’ve always worn pants and suits since I was a teenager, and then that happened…”.

At the beginning of her singing career, Janet Jackson always dressed discreetly, because she wanted to be taken seriously for her singing talent, not cared for because of the tricks of “showing off her body”. But later, there was also a period when Janet Jackson tried to change her style, she became more sexy so that she could be seen in a multifaceted way and make a more prominent mark:

“At that time, I was trying to feel more comfortable with the sexy style, it was a bold step for me, I wanted to do something a little different. At that time, I was learning to appreciate my appearance…”. And then the incident of being torn off her shirt leading to her chest exposed caused Janet Jackson to fall into a struggle, holding back, requiring her to be very energetic to overcome.

When Janet Jackson first started her music career, she was reminded that to be successful, she needed to have a body that was thin but still… sexy, must always appear perfectly beautiful.

But throughout her career, Janet Jackson has found her own way, her own style, she does not follow the standards set for women in the music industry and until now, having achieved a certain position in the music industry, Janet Jackson still encounters prejudices.

At the age of 55, Janet Jackson faces the pressure of age again. The entertainment industry, after all, is still a place that only likes to receive new things, young faces. Many female artists struggle with age to maintain their “ageless” youthful appearance and style. However, once again, Janet Jackson insists that she will not seek plastic surgery or cosmetic interventions:

“I don’t know when my time will be up, but there will come a time like this, and I will choose for myself a new path, a new direction that I feel is suitable, I just hope that I will age peacefully and be a woman… beautiful old man. I will not look for cosmetic interventions to hold on to my youthful appearance.”
