Justin Timberlake came up with the 2004 Super Bowl Janet Jackson nipple scandal
It was one of the most talked about episodes of the Super Bowl and it was talked about at length for weeks. In the 2004 edition, singer Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson performed in the middle of the event with a climactic moment in which he uncovers part of her outfit to reveal a nipple from Michael Jackson's sister.
In his day it seemed an oversight but now it has been known that it was the work of Timberlake in his obsession with wanting to overcome the impact that the kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears at the MTV gala had caused in his day.
This has been related by the stylist of Janet Jackson, Wayne Scot Lukas, who in addition to her has worked with artists of the stature of Tina Turner. He, who is on the hunt for a publisher where he can publish his book on anecdotes of his work with celebrities, has openly accused Timberlake of looking for that fateful Super Bowl moment.
Recall that the singer pulled Janet's clothes and left one of her breasts exposed, with a nipple shield included. This detail of wearing the nipple covered makes many think that it was something premeditated and not a "wardrobe failure."
In an interview with the middle Page Six, the stylist has confessed that the singer was obsessed with overcoming the impact at the time of the MTV Music Awards in which Christina Aguilera, her ex Britney Spears and Madonna were kissing. Lukas has stated that Justin “insisted on doing something much bigger. He wanted something to be seen. "
The original idea was for Janet to wear a dress that Timberlake would step on, thus exposing her butt that would sport a pearl thong similar to one that appeared on the hit HBO series Sex and the City.
Finally this idea was not put into practice and Jackson appeared with a black leather suit that gave no option to do what was proposed. It was thus, according to the stylist, how Michael Jackson's sister ended up with a breast out of her. "I would never call it a wardrobe malfunction," Wayne says, adding, "As a stylist, I made sure it worked as it should."
On his part, the stylist wanted to add that Janet had already forgiven Justin privately, "they made peace a long time ago," he concludes.
