During the 2004 Super Bowl Performance, Justin Timberlake grabbed Janet's outfit and ripped it, momentarily exposing her breast. While the malfunction was an accident, it sparked a chain of events, including a revocation of Janet Jackson's invite to the Grammys.

It is believed Les Moonves, CEO of CBS at the time, was out to ruin Janet Jackson's career because of the incident.

"I’ve seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns, and I want to respond. I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.
“I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janey Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.
"I also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from…”
