Karma is finally catching up with singer Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson is here for it. Twenty-one years after the infamous Super Bowl Nipplegate scandal, Jackson seemingly still holds a grudge against Timberlake. So, to say that she is enjoying watching the pop star’s life crash and burn is putting it mildly.
Some fans may recall getting quite the show from Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. The event was broadcast live on February 1, 2004, from Houston, Texas, on the CBS network.
Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson’s performance was going along smoothly until Jackson’s right breast and nipple were ‘accidentally‘ exposed by Timberlake to the viewing public, sparking the Nipplegate scandal.
There was mass chaos surrounding the wardrobe malfunction, with Justin Timberlake seemingly getting off scot-free. All the while, Janet Jackson was left to face years of backlash over the career-damaging scandal.
Despite the years that have passed, it looks as if Janet still feels pretty salty over the ordeal. But it looks as if the Escapade hitmaker is finally enjoying a little satisfaction.
Radar Online reports that sources close to Janet Jackson reveal that the singer secretly enjoys watching her former stage partner’s life spin out of control. While her life and career continue to thrive, it makes her a tad happy to see karma finally having its way with Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake’s Chaotic Life Feels A Little Like Payback To Janet Jackson
Of course, Janet would never publicly diss Justin or wish any serious and physical harm on Justin. However, seeing the chaos and drama his life has taken on allegedly tends to bring a smile to her face.
“Janet is a class act. She has gone out of her way to play nice in public and put this whole scandal behind her. But everyone in her inner circle knows she’s still disgusted by the way Justin behaved. Karma does catch up with people. Now it seems like it’s Justin’s turn to learn a lesson in humility. Who could blame Janet for enjoying it a little?” the Jackson insider dishes.
The past few years have not been the greatest for Justin Timberlake. As previously reported, the singer has faced many serious issues within his marriage to wife Jessica Biel.
JT’s fans are also not thrilled with the singer’s new music. So much so that his world tour ticket sales reflect his fans’ disapproval. So much so that Justin reportedly made some excuses, canceling a few shows.
The singer’s troubles reportedly began taking a toll on him in the wake of his 2024 drunk-driving scandal. After years of skating by on cheating scandals, Nipplegate, and much more, the time may have arrived for Justin Timberlake to pay the piper.
