Janet Jackson Spoke About Her 2004 Super Bowl Performance And Her Relationship With Justin Timberlake - BuzzFeed

During her performance, Justin ripped off some fabric from Janet's outfit, and briefly exposed her breast. In the aftermath, Janet and Justin's careers took remarkably different turns — Justin was able to joke about the incident while Janet's career never quite recovered, likely driven by a mix of industry sabotage and boycotts.

Fast forward to last year, Justin issued a public apology to Janet following the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, writing, "I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed."

Speaking now in her documentary, Janet reportedly said, “Honestly, this whole thing was blown way out of proportion."

"Of course, it was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that’s got to stop.”

“Justin and I are very good friends, and we will always be very good friends,” she continued. “We spoke just a few days ago. He and I have moved on, and it’s time for everyone else to do the same.”

"We talked once and [Justin] said, ‘I don’t know if I should come out and make a statement.’ And I said, ‘Listen, I don’t want any drama for you. They’re aiming all of this at me.’ So I said, ‘If I were you, I wouldn’t say anything.’”

Of course, Justin did end up discussing the incident. Right after the Superbowl, he told one reporter, "I love giving y'all something to talk about." A few days later he issued an apology, before Janet made the first of her many public apologies. At the Grammys the following week, he said, "What occurred was unintentional, completely regrettable, and I completely apologize if you were offended" while laughing.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
