‘JANET YOU LOOK AMAZINGGGG’, ‘The most beautiful woman EVER’,
‘WOW!!!! You have always been that girl’.
Janet has previously revealed she felt ‘unattractive’ and hated her body image growing up.
Jackson said her anguish was made worse after she was taunted about her weight by her brothers, including Michael Jackson who called her derogatory names, such as ‘pig’, ‘cow’ and ‘slaughter-hog’.
‘I would literally bang my head up against the wall because I didn’t feel attractive,’ she said.
‘There was a lot of pain in my life. But I did. I felt very unattractive.’
The hitmaker wrote about her weight issues in her autobiography called True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself in 2011.
Janet said her weight problems began when she was 10 years old and asked to lose weight for a TV role.

‘I was asked to lose weight. I wasn’t a heavy kid on the show but I was 10 years old and developing very quickly so they would put gauze around my chest to make me smaller, and I think that has an effect on you as a child as if who you are isn’t good enough,’ she said.
Last year, Janet put on a racy routine with a handsy backing dancer in Vegas at Resorts World Las Vegas..
The dancer could be seen with his hands on her chest – 20 years after that controversial Super Bowl boob flash moment with Justin Timberlake during the halftime show at Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston, Texas.
The incident saw Janet perform with Justin who ripped off a piece of Jackson’s top and exposed her bare breast to millions of viewers, causing great controversy at the time.
In the days after the Super Bowl, Justin issued a statement, which resulted in the now infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ description.
Janet released her own statements where she tried to steer the blame away from MTV and all the corporations involved in the Super Bowl.
She said that ‘it was not my intention that it went as far as it did,’ along with a follow up video.
Justin would later claim he was under the impression Janet would be wearing a red bra underneath, and then seemingly distanced himself from her entirely.

Janet’s ensemble on stage in Vegas boasted a figure-hugging fit, an embellished tie, and a corseted boning structure to snatch her in at the waist.
During her sold-out concert, Janet later slipped into a stylish white mesh corset jumpsuit and a matching blazer which featured a silver jewel embellishment.
The incredible performance comes after Janet was reportedly offered a residency in London and passed on the offer because the Vegas deal was more lucrative.
Earlier this year, Janet opened up on how she copes with the loss of her brother Michael Jackson 15 years after his June 2009 death.
The singer-actress chatted with the BBC about their 1995 collaboration Scream, which was Michael’s first major release in the wake of the 1993 child sexual abuse allegations that had a significant impact on his life and career.
The Grammy-winning artist, who was on her Together Again tour, performed the song in concert opposite video footage of her late brother, noting that it’s an emotional feeling ‘listening to him every night, seeing him, remembering us.’
The Gary, Indiana-born entertainer looked back on creating the track with her late sibling, saying, ‘Mike and I wrote that song in New York, in his apartment.’
Janet said that she relives ‘that whole journey, listening to him sing it’ and recalling ‘what he was going through at that time’ as he sought to rebuild his reputation and career amid the damaging accusations.

‘And just me being his little sister, always by his side, and being that support system,’ Janet said. ‘That’s always been my role.’
In the track, Michael addressed his frustrations with the fallout of the allegations and the media coverage of the issue. Lyrics included: ‘I’m tired of injustice, I’m tired of the schemes/ Your lies are disgusting/ So, what does it mean, damn it?’
In her self-titled 2022 Lifetime docuseries, Janet said of her late sibling, ‘Mike was going through a lot, and I think it was taking its toll on him.’
The song hit the fifth spot on the Billboard Hot 100 amid a 17-week stint on the chart, garnering the Best Music Video award at the 1996 Grammys.
The black and white music video featured the famed siblings performing with one another, which Janet said in the docuseries was a complicated process as music industry executives involved looked to keep them apart.
‘It was tough – Michael shot nights; I shot days,’ Janet said in 2022. ‘His record company, they would block off his whole set so that I couldn’t see what was going on. They didn’t want me on set.’
‘I felt like they were trying to make it very competitive between the two of us. That really hurt me, because I felt I was there fighting the fight with him. Not to battle him.’
Janet said that her sense of nostalgia in the collaboration with her sibling had fallen short during production of the clip.
