Read The Apology Justin Timberlake Issued To Janet Jackson 17 Years After The Infamous Super Bowl Wardrobe Malfunction

Janet was supposed to make an appearance a week later at the Grammy Awards, but she was then uninvited after what happened at the halftime show.

The NFL immediately blocked MTV from creating halftime shows in the future (they were responsible for this one), and in turn, Viacom (which owns MTV) issued a ban on Janet’s music and music videos, and they prevented the companies they owned from playing her content as well. They never issued a ban on Justin’s music though.

Around this time, Janet had released a new album, which was very much so overshadowed by the wardrobe malfunction.

Janet was also supposed to play the role of Lena Horne in a new movie, and she had no choice but to give up the role.
