THE HIDDEN REASON JANET JACKSON'S CAREER COLLAPSED AFTER THE SUPER BOWL - Video

In 2004, Janet Jackson was blacklisted after the Super Bowl halftime show. But not for the reason you think. Because while the world blamed a "wardrobe malfunction," CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves was quietly ordering MTV, VH1, BET, and every Viacom radio station to stop playing her music. Justin Timberlake physically ripped the costume. Yet he won two Grammys that same week while Janet was banned from the ceremony. Her album sales fell 81% over the next fourteen years while his skyrocketed. This video investigation traces the blacklist back to one man's grudge, the FCC cover story that protected it, and how Janet outlasted all of it. Sourced from Yashar Ali's HuffPost reporting, the New York Times documentary "Malfunction," and Janet's own Lifetime documentary.
