      This is true. But Janet also stated in her recent documentary that she told Justin to not say or do anything. She said his solo career was just getting started and she would take all of the heat. BUT as a man of privilege that could've helped both of them during this scandal, he definitely should have said something.

I said it is no worst than these soap operas showing 2 people in bed naked. The children are aware of these scenes. I said it was an accident. Now if her butt was exposed she would have lost her career. You know white women can't stand that!!! The booty is powerful!!

      Who else's fault was it? She came up with the concept. She went behind the producers' backs and changed everything. Justin was supposed to rip off a dress, not her top, but she changed it a few hours before the show without telling the producers. To add insult to injury, she didn't wear a bra.

      The way Janet reacted when the piece was ripped off her titty was contrived. She let the boob show for that extra second longer than was natural when genuinely acting shocked, and, hey, she'd had the nipple pierced. She wanted it to be seen.
      The whole thing was an act.
      I wasn't sold on their "genuine" fake apology.
      Why Janet would ever even need to do something like that is anyone's guess. She doesn't need to stoop that low for extra fame.

Wasn’t nobody “planning” to make a movie based on a book that hadn’t even been published yet! Hell, in 1975 Steven Spielberg hadn’t even made his mark as a director yet!

    Will Smith was approach to play Neo in "The Matrix" that ultimately want to Keanu Reeves. But Will turned it down because he didn't get the script like he couldn't comprehend what the story was about and it was weird to him. Even Jada tried to convince him to do the role but he was like "Nah".
    Will to this day said he kicks himself every time he sees the movie.
