It did slow her down. Damita Jo was projected to be massive, much like All For You was. The ban on her music on radio as well as her music videos on MTV/VH1 meant that nobody was playing her stuff. None of those singles did anything because her music was banned. I don't even think the first single from Damita Jo cracked the top 50. Which is a major decline since she was just coming off a VERY successful era prior to that. Her only true hit after the superbowl was that joint with Nelly and that was only because it sold decently. The airplay wasn't good because she was banned on radio.

You can clearly see the decline in her chart trajectory. They destroyed her and she never recovered.

Exclusive: Les Moonves Was Obsessed With Ruining Janet Jackson’s Career, Sources Say
After the “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl, sources say, the CBS chief executive was incensed at the singer.

CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves was incensed at Janet Jackson after the singer’s infamous wardrobe malfunction at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.

  • 3.7k


One thing that allies and critics of Les Moonves, the CEO and chairman of CBS, agree on is that he tends to remember who his enemies are, and exact revenge on them on his terms. From actors to entertainment lawyers, people who ended up on the wrong side of Moonves would often become his target for years after they upset him.

Although Moonves is embattled and likely to be ousted from CBS amid sexual harassment allegations (reportedly with a significant severance payment) following an investigation by The New Yorker, many women and men whom I contacted about Moonves’ conduct were reluctant to speak to me, even when I told them they could speak off the record.

One target of Moonves’ ire and vengefulness, according to multiple sources, was Janet Jackson.

Jackson became a years-long fixation for Moonves after the so-called “wardrobe malfunction” of 2004, when her breast was exposed for nine-sixteenths of a second after Justin Timberlake tore a piece of fabric off her bustier during their Super Bowl halftime performance. CBS and MTV (a subsidiary of Viacom, the parent company of CBS at the time), which produced the halftime show, faced a torrent of criticism and a $550,000 Federal Communications Commission fine.

Jackson and Timberlake both said the incident was truly a malfunction ― that Timberlake was only meant to rip away the leather on Jackson’s bustier to reveal red lace, but instead ripped away everything, leaving her breast exposed to over 100 million Super Bowl fans.

Moonves, however, was convinced it wasn’t a malfunction, but rather an intentional bid to stir up controversy. Moonves has been open about the fact that the incident caused him embarrassment, and he told sources who spoke to me that Jackson, in his mind, was not sufficiently repentant.

Moonves banned Jackson and Timberlake from the 2004 Grammys broadcast airing on CBS the week after the Super Bowl. But Timberlake was allowed to perform after he tearfully apologized for the incident, according to conversations Moonves had with my sources.

The CBS chief executive, according to sources who spoke to me, was furious that Jackson didn’t make a similarly contrite apology to him. The fallout from the incident inflicted significant damage on Jackson’s career ― which until that point had produced 10 No. 1 hits ― and still reverberates to this day.

Moonves ordered Viacom properties VH1 and MTV, and all Viacom-owned radio stations, to stop playing Jackson’s songs and music videos. The move had a huge impact on sales of her album “Damita Jo,” which was released in March 2004, just a month after the Super Bowl.

A major point of controversy, particularly among Jackson’s black fans, was that the reaction to the wardrobe malfunction fell solely on Jackson’s shoulders, even though Timberlake was the one who actually pulled off the fabric to reveal her breast. While Jackson’s career was significantly damaged, Timberlake’s flourished. CBS insiders who spoke to me felt strongly that Moonves played a large part in how Jackson was perceived by the public.

A spokesperson for CBS declined to comment for this story.

Seven years after the 2004 incident, Moonves told several sources he was furious when he found out Jackson had signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster for her book True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself. Simon & Schuster is owned by the CBS Corporation.

“How the fukk did she slip through?” Moonves asked while recounting the story to a source who spoke to me. He told another source that heads were going to roll as a result of the deal.

It’s not clear whether Moonves ever actually took action against anyone who gave Jackson the book deal, but his tone when he spoke about Jackson was so aggressive, one source said they couldn’t speak to me on the record because “I’m not interested in having that man following me to the grave and trying to screw me over the whole time.”

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misstated that Viacom currently owns Simon & Schuster. Rather, CBS took ownership of the publishing company in the 2006 split with Viacom.

WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH JANET SHOWING HER TITTY AT THE SUPER BOWL?


:devil:
:evil:

I see your point but I think the difference with Jay is that he acknowledged most of his past transgressions in one way or another. Kellz ain't fessing up to shyt. I think Jay know how to "play the game that is fame" better.

She had not fallen off when Damita Jo was projected to outsell her previous album, which had sold like 8 million copies. And it probably would have if her music wasn't banned.

And just to corroborate...

Her subsequent album Damita Jo saw little radio rotation and received so few MTV video spins that many assumed she was banned by the company who had produced the infamous Super Bowl Halftime Show.

But even so, the change to her career fortunes was dramatic: she was barred from attending the Grammy Awards and MTV Video Music Awards, organizers apparently nervous she’d whip her top off at any moment. Grammy-nominated Timberlake attended the awards without incident. At that same ceremony, Timberlake was referred to onstage as the “Teflon man”, as the controversy had seemed to slide right off him.

For Jackson, a woman with 10 US number one singles under her belt — the most recent only a year before the Super Bowl — the decline was almost instantaneous. Never again would a Janet Jackson single trouble the top 10. After two decades as one of the biggest names in music, in the years to come Jackson releases would turn from worldwide events to niche offerings for the faithful fans who’d stuck by her..
