While carrying out together at the 2004 Super Bowl, Timberlake swindled part of Jackson’s top, unintentionally exposing among her nipple-shield-adorned breasts to the occasion’s 90 million audiences throughout CBS’ live broadcast. Both vocalists said sorry over the occurrence, which Timberlake called a “wardrobe malfunction.” Jackson’s representative stated at the time that the direct exposure “was not intentional” which Timberlake was expected to retreat the bustier and leave a “red-lace bra.”
But TELEVISION executives still blamed Jackson for the occurrence, which drew more than 500,000 problems and stimulated an FCC examination and indecency fines that were later on reversed. The debate likewise threatened to thwart her profession, as MTV and U.S. radios apparently blacklisted Jackson’s video for a long time.
In 2006, when asked by Oprah Winfrey if she felt Timberlake stopped working to sufficiently stick up for her after the Super Bowl occurrence, Jackson responded, “To a certain degree, yeah.”
