THE FACTS
Justin Timberlake spoke on not supporting Janet Jackson enough during the Superbowl controversy in a recent interview.
THE SPIN
In too little, too late, you still ain’t ish for what you did news, Justin Timberlake has decided to publicly regret his actions back during the whole Nipplegate controversy that erupted after the “wardrobe malfunction” during he and Janet Jackson’s performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.
When asked about his biggest regret this decade, Justin told Entertainment Weekly:
“I wish I had supported Janet more (during the 2004 wardrobe malfunction Super Bowl controversy). I’m not sorry I apologized, but I wish I had been there more for Janet.”
How fitting he would wait five years to say this. Even better is that he says it at a time when the spotlight really isn’t on him and chances are not as many people will ever hear about this “regret.”
I guess late is better than never at all, but Janet Jackson’s career took a huge hit for that stunt (and yes, it was a stunt) but Justin got off easy for basically ducking and dodging any responsibility for his actions. It would have been nice to have a united front. Justin went on to become an even bigger star while Janet’s career has taken a hit ever since.
Is a five year apology too late or should bygones be bygones?
Should Miss Jackson accept?
