The Nipplegate Bomb
This versatility, she experiences painfully during the improbable “Nipplegate”, a real media bomb that explodes in her face on February 1, 2004 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. At the end of the traditional mega show, which marks the half-time of the Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake, who sings in duet with Janet, involuntarily reveals his right breast to more than 100 million viewers. The “Nipplegate” bursts and it’s a tidal wave.
The FFC, an American audiovisual control body, received in the wake of 500,000 complaints, the National Federation of American Football was forced to reimburse the 10 million dollars collected for the show, as for the channel CBS, who broadcast the event, she was ordered to pay a fine of half a million dollars. As a result, the channel, run by influential Les Moonves, decides to exclude the two artists from the Grammy Awards ceremony to be held the following week.
