Justin Timberlake recently found himself in the spotlight again due to a wardrobe malfunction during a concert. A video circulating on TikTok from a fan at the The Forget Tomorrow World Tour concert shows him performing while strapped to a harness. Unfortunately, the harness’s positioning drew attention to his crotch area, leading to unflattering comments from viewers. Fans remarked on the awkward situation, likening it to Timberlake’s past Super Bowl incident and one user jokingly noted, “Somewhere Janet Jackson is laughing.” Another tweet caught attention, questioning, “Justin Timberlake ‘Little’ Wardrobe Malfunction Goes Viral — Justice For Janet Jackson??”

Timberlake’s wardrobe mishap sparked memories of the infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004, where he accidentally exposed Janet Jackson’s breast. While Jackson faced significant backlash for that incident, Timberlake lightly joked about it, later issuing a formal apology. Jackson, however, suffered serious repercussions, prompting discussions about the double standards in their treatment post-incident. Timberlake later acknowledged the unfairness of the situation.

In a reflection two years after the Super Bowl incident, Timberlake expressed his regret for not supporting Jackson more during the fallout. He mentioned on MTV, “If there was something that I could have done in her defense… then I would have.” He also acknowledged that he bore a smaller share of the blame and criticized the harsh treatment women often face in such scenarios.
Timberlake performed at the Super Bowl once again in 2018, this time without any wardrobe issues. Janet Jackson, in a documentary, shared that Timberlake had invited her to join him for the performance, but she chose to decline. She noted, “We love entertaining. But on the flip side, it’s stretching out the past…,” and confirmed their friendship remains strong, stating they’ve moved on together.
